HOD’s Message

On behalf of our faculty, staff, and students, I welcome you to the Department of Chemical Engineering at C. V. Raman Global University .
CGU was ranked 100 by the National Institute Ranking Framework (NIRF) in 2022. I hope that you learn more about chemical engineering program as you navigate the site.
The Department of Chemical Engineering at CGU was established in the year 2006. The department has been accredited by National Board of Accreditation (NBA) since 2017 and has renewed its accreditation status again. Chemical Engineering is a constantly evolving discipline which keeps pace with the developing world. Our department reflects this in its teaching curriculum, research thrusts, industry partnerships and entrepreneurial initiatives.
Chemical engineers develop and design processes in which material and energy inputs are converted into value-added products through chemical, physical, biological transformations with the help of digitalization. Chemical engineers apply the principles of chemistry, physics, biology and mathematics, guided by the principles of economics, safety and environmental protection for the welfare of community.
Chemical engineers are innovative, creative and critical thinkers with versatile problem-solving skills. Chemical engineers are team players, working in consultation with inter- and multi-disciplinary teams of professionals, chemical engineers define problems, determine objectives, plan and conduct research, and then design, develop, and implement computerized and controlled processes for product manufacturing. Chemical engineering is a diverse discipline which adapts to the changing needs of society, also referred to as universal engineering.
We offer b.tech Chemical Engineering program at two levels with regular and an honors degree. The students also get an opportunity to complete a Minor degree from another department. Our undergraduate program is internationally renowned for high-quality classroom-based education in conjunction with practical work experience.
CGU Department of Chemical Engineering trains our students to be proactive participants in chemical engineering for community and dynamic leaders for our ever-evolving world. The profession has placed its graduates in different positions, spanning over the broad areas of digital (the process of converting process data into a digital, computer-readable form) world, consumer products, plastics, chemicals, bio molecular and biochemical engineering, biotechnology, fuel, food technology, nanotechnology, alternative energy, and petrochemicals, both domestically and internationally. More recently, our graduate students are placed in top companies such as Veddanta, Jindal steel, JSPL, JK Paper, Tata steel.
We have hired a highly accomplished and diverse faculty. Our faculty is recognized for their research and educational impact through their experiential skills. They are members of a variety of professional organizations. Our department is exponentially growing by leaps and bounds and our impact in chemical engineering education and research is poised for continual growth in the years ahead.
Our department “We bring new innovative ideas to the nation” which tells the story of our Chemical Engineering Department.
I invite you to explore all of the many aspects of our Department of Chemical Engineering through the website, and visit or contact us for more information. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at upcoming departmental, college, and university events!
Sincere regards,
Dr. Ranjita Mohanty
Head of the Department.

Department of Chemical Engineering

The Department of chemical engineering offers four years B.Tech Chemical Engineering, two years M. Tech chemical engineering and Ph.D Chemical Engineering. The courses offer insight into the chemical process with good management practices. We are committed to produce individuals who have great potential and are really promising. The Department has started in the year 2006. The intake is 30. The department consists of well-equipped laboratories along with highly qualified faculties with different specialization. To facilitate the academic interest of the students and to keep them on the cutting edge of recent technology, the department conducts industrial visits, conferences, expert talks and advance training programmes on various thrust areas. The Department also provides special training for students such as CHEMCAD, MATLAB and Process Automation to make them fit for industry. The department has the FACT centre of excellence which provides extra knowledge to the students. The students took part in Worldskill – 2019, India skill and Odisha skill in every year. The department won the First prize in Worldskill 2019 for Water Technology. The students also won third prize in Indiaskill. Most of the students crack GATE, CAT and most of the students placed in reputed companies.
C V Raman Global University is having a long-established and strong academic staff and infrastructure, initiated a bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering. Starting in 2006, the Department of Chemical Engineering, has taken a place among the seven departments of the Faculty of Engineering founded in 2020. Our department, whose aim is to train engineers who perform research and development and/or engineering tasks at universities, public institutions, and private organizations in chemical engineering and related fields, graduates engineers who work in pioneering positions as manufacturing engineers, managers, R&D engineers, and academicians in many different areas of the chemical industry.
Chemical engineering is an engineering branch, which is one of the fields of basic engineering designing chemical processes on an industrial scale, producing substances economically, solving technological and environmental problems encountered in processes. Examples of the chemical engineering practices can be given as chemical processes such as petrochemistry, cement, dye, polymer, glass, metal coating, fertilizer industries and biochemical processes such as enzyme, organic acid and pharmaceutical productions. Chemical engineers work effectively in manufacturing, R&D, quality control and analysis laboratory, and also in import-export departments of industrial organizations. Accordingly, our Chemical Engineering undergraduate program, in which education language is English, is structured on basic sciences, principally chemistry, mathematics, and professional engineering courses and applications. Detailed information about the mission and vision of the department, undergraduate and graduate curriculums, academic staff and their research fields have been shared with you on our website.
You who want to join the engineers of the future; -in your professional business life- if you want to contribute to the production, development and use of chemicals whose importance and value are always permanent in technological design and production, C V Raman Global University Chemical Engineering Department, which has trained successful chemical engineers working in national and international platforms for many years, will be the most suitable department for you.
