JAI NARAIN VYAS UNIVERSITY
JODHPUR
INTRODUCTION
Jai Narain Vyas University, Jodhpur was established in July 1962. It is a regional University
now and operates in the limits of Jodhpur, Jalore, Barmer, Pali and Jaiselmer districts. The
Department of Chemistry is located in the New Campus of the University, near the Bhagat-ki
Kothi Railway Station, Pali Road. (The Department runs post graduate course in chemistry and
has various research laboratories). More than 700 candidates have been awarded with degree
of Ph.D. and three candidates have been awarded D.Sc. degree. About 1700 research papers
from various faculty members and research scholars have been published in the International
and National Scientific Journals. The Department has received research projects from different
agencies like U.G.C., C.S.I.R., D.S.T., D.B.T., I.C.A.R., DRDO, DAE etc from time to time. In
1983, U.G.C. has formulated a programme under which certain departments, selected on the
basis of their achievements in the field of teaching and research, they were provided with
infrastructure for raising the standard of their post-graduate education and research to
international level. The programme was formulated as Committee on Strengthening of
Infrastructure of Science and Technology (COSIST) of U.G.C.
The Department is one among the three departments of chemistry in the country, which
were selected for this programme. M.Sc. was awarded under COSIST programme from 1985 to
2003, there after department was identified by the UGC under SAP (Special Assistance
Programme) in 2010 for research support to the department. Thereafter DST awarded II level
FIST programme to the department in 2010.
CBCS scheme for post graduate course (M.Sc. Chemistry) was implemented from the
session 2015 onwards. Now from the session 2023-24 the course curriculum for both UG & PG
has been revised as per the National Education Policy 2020.
