Junior College - Chemistry

History of Department

The Chemistry Department of Jai Hind College, Mumbai, is a popular center for education in chemistry. It started functioning from the inception of the college in 1949. It is one of the oldest and premier department in the city of Mumbai to have Post graduation (M. Sc. in Physical, Inorganic and Organic Chemistry). The strength of the department has been and continues to be excellence in teaching and research. The faculty of the department is extremely well qualified and motivated with a strong commitment towards teaching and research. The department is now actively pursuing research embracing both basic as well as the applied areas of chemistry.

The department which is over 60 years old has now grown and emerged as one of the progressive department in the city. It is one of the foremost and best in terms of the expertise and facilities available for applied and fundamental research.
