B.Sc Chemistry

Dear Sarthak,

Admission to B.Sc Chemistry is not usually provided by NITs, as most of the NITs deal with engineering and technology courses like B.Tech, M.Sc, and PhD in scientific disciplines. But if you wish to study Chemistry in an NIT, you should see if there is an integrated M.Sc or dual-degree programme in Chemistry available. Entry to such courses is commonly through entry tests such as IIT JAM or JEE Advanced, based on the particular course pattern of the institute. 

All the very best for this, and I hope this helps

IADC-A, Bangalore offers three value-added courses through the Department of Chemistry and Zoology. These value-added courses are part of the curriculum. The institute offers Chemistry & Environment, Manufacturing Practice Guidance for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients, and Beekeeping and its Management as value-added courses in the BSc in Chemistry and Zoology course.

At Padmashree Institute of Management and Sciences, admissions for the B.Sc. Chemistry program are based specifically on Class 12 results.

 The institution generally gives the Class 12 qualifying exam marks as the main criteria for admissions, but other criteria like cut-off marks the institute must have will generally differ from year to year.

Checking the official site of the institute for detailed eligibility and application procedures or contacting the admissions office for appropriate information would be better.
