FACULTY OF ENGINEERING &
TECHNOLOGY----Chemical
The introduction of Chemical Engineering in India
as a distinct branch of engineering dates back to 1921 with the
help of Acharya P.C. Roy and under the academic leadership of Professor
H. L. Roy and Professor Baneswar Das, a course of study was offered
for the first time at the Bengal Technical Institute, the predecessor
of Jadavpur University. This department is one of the oldest departments
in Chemical Engineering in the World. The department commemorated
Diamond Jubilee in 1982 and Platinum Jubilee in 1996
