Chemistry serves as the fundamental science on which the understanding of other interdisciplinary and allied subjects are dependent. A detailed knowledge of Chemistry is very important in daily life as also in the study of various Physical and Biological Sciences. The Department of Chemistry at Raidighi College runs both Honours and General courses in Undergraduate Chemistry. Students get hands on experience in handling chemicals and instruments and learn to carry out both qualitative and quantitative experiments in Organic, Inorganic, Physical and Analytical Chemistry. A correlation of theoretical studies and their implementation in the laboratory helps students to get the true essence of the subject. Chemistry as a subject is a mine of opportunities.

A B.Sc. Chemistry graduate has future prospects both in academia as well as industry. A student after completing B.Sc. in Chemistry can opt for higher education like M.Sc. in Chemistry, Drug Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Physical & Materials Chemistry, Food Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Environmental Chemistry, etc.

Alternatively, if one chooses to be employed immediately after graduation, the scope of employment for a BSc Chemistry graduate include sectors such as pharmaceutical industries, chemical manufacturers, forensic science department, plastic industries, agrochemical industries, etc.

Apart from these, Chemistry graduates are also recruited in other fields such as oil, gas and power sectors and even in defence services. BSc Chemistry candidates can also pursue their career in the field of technical writing.

In our Department we try to reach out to students via interactive theoretical sessions followed by proper exposure in the practical sessions which would prepare them for application based Chemistry courses and jobs in future. Faculties are exposed to research and current developments in the field of Chemistry and are thus well suited to mentor and guide students in the path of rewarding professional careers.
