The approval of the UGC was obtained for the creation of the Department in the fifth Five Year Plan and it came into existence in 1978, when the first undergraduate course in Chemical Engineering started with an intake of thirty students.
A Post-graduate Diploma in Petroleum Processing was started in the Department in 1987, which was upgraded to full-fledged degree, M.Sc. Engg. Petroleum Processing) in 1988. Subsequently, a masters programme, M. Tech. (Chemical Engineering) was started in 1999 with specialization in Process Modelling and Simulation.
