Industrial Chemistry is an undergraduate program that covers the Chemical process that can be applied to industries and how to improve those processes. The areas of study taught at B.Sc Industrial Chemistry include organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, surface chemistry, Petroleum chemistry, polymer chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry and environmental chemistry and others more from the industrial application of the different chemicals and chemical processes in industries such as Petroleum, polymer, fertilizer, pharmaceuticals, dyes and pigments, fragrances.
The common entrance exams accepted for admission into the B.Sc Industrial Chemistry course across universities and colleges in India are: For admission in undergraduate medical programs, UG which is the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for undergraduate programs, state level exam such as Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE), Uttar Pradesh Combined Entrance Test (UPCET), Andhra Pradesh- Engineering Agriculture and Medical Common Entrance Test (AP-EAMCET) and direct admission for those who are not willing to take NEET or state level exams based on their 10+2 Some of the most recognized colleges also provide their own tests for admission in their colleges.
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Full Form | Bachelor of Science (Industrial Chemistry) |
| Duration | 3 years |
| Course Level | Undergraduate |
| Eligibility | Class 12th pass with Science stream (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) and minimum 50% marks (may vary slightly depending on the college) |
| Top Colleges | Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT), Indian Institute of Technology (IITs), University of Delhi (DU), University of Mumbai, Anna University |
| Entrance Exams | JEE Main, State-level entrance exams (e.g., DUET, MHT-CET), College-specific entrance exams |
1. The candidates should have passed the 10+2 standard examination in science stream with Physics, Chemistry, Maths or Biology as subjects and an average of least 50 percent in the subjects.
2. The student must be of any stream but should have Mathematics/ Biology along with Chemistry and Physics as subjects in 10+2 level.
3. Admissions can be sought on a provisional basis for those students who are going to appear in their 10+2 examination.
4. The eligibility criteria for this course does not include any age constraint and there is no upper age limit for admission.
5. In most colleges, the admission procedure involves merit through passing the 10+2 examinations. Each college has its own admission test in some cases or universities hold joint admission tests.
1. JEE main is one of the national level engineering examination, which provides admissions to B.Sc course.
2. GATE – graduate aptitude test in engineering, for admission to Postgraduate programs like M.Tech/ M .Arch/ M.Plan etc after B.Tech/ B.E.
