The department runs a Master of Science program for students who have completed their bachelors degree in chemistry elsewhere.

These students enter through a national-level examination called the Joint Admission Test to MSc. The students take a combination of compulsory and elective courses and are required to carry out research work as part of their curriculum. Most of these students opt for higher studies in chemistry at many of the top institutions worldwide.
