About Department

In 1994, the Marathwada University was renamed as Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University; on this occasion the Govt. of Maharashtra allotted special funds for the development of this department. In 1997, the committee of All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE), New Delhi visited this department and suggested to convert the B.Sc.Chem. Tech. course into Bachelor of Chemical Technology course for students passing 12th standard. Keeping in view the needs of Marathwada region, the department has started B.Tech (Chem.) Course in the two specialization in Chemical Technology i.e. Pharmaceutical & Fine Chemical Technology and Food Technology.

First Department on Campus to achieve the NBA Accreditation for B.Tech. (Chemical) Program.
First Department on Campus having UG, PG, and Ph.D. Programs in Technology.
First Department on the campus with an ISO 9001:2008 certification.
First Department to establish Ultra-Modern Modular Labs as per GLP.
First Department to establish Sophisticated Analytical Instrumentation Facility (SAIF).
DST-FIST Supported Department.
Department having a well-equipped Food Processing Laboratory & Pilot Plant.
Unique course in Drugs & Pharmaceuticals in the Country.
MoU with leading Industries and Premium National Research Institutes.

Department insights

History

In late sixties, the Marathwada University has felt the need to establish a department of Chemical Technology. At the time of its decimal celebration the University appointed a committee and a development fund was raised for this purpose. In the year 1989, the University established the department with one specialization i.e., B.Sc. (Tech.) in Pharmaceuticals and Fine Chemical Technology with the objective to meet the needs of skilled personnel for the pharmaceutical industries in the region as well as the state of Maharashtra and also to generate self-employment of the student seeking B.Sc. (Tech.) Degree. Most of the passed-out Students have good position in the reputed industries.

It’s my pleasure to introduce the University Department of Chemical Technology (UDCT) of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (formerly Aurangabad). The department is committed to excellence in education, research, and innovation in the field of chemical technology in general and Food Technology and Pharmaceuticals and Fine Chemicals Technology in particular. We take pride in our dedicated faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, and vibrant community of students and researchers.

Department has proved to be department with immense potential in the Marathwada region. With a glorious performance since past decades, the department has many accomplishments to its credit. The green campus of department with good academic and research facilities is a perfect platform for nurturing budding technologists in the domain of food and pharmaceuticals technology.

Through our undergraduate, post graduate and doctoral programs, we aim to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of chemical processes, material handling and specialized technologies in the field of chemical technology. Our curriculum is designed to equip students with the knowledge, technical skills, research projects, experiential learning, and entrepreneurship development needed to thrive in the ever-evolving field of chemical technology.

I am proud to share that many of our faculty members have achieved significant milestones in their research and academic pursuits. They are actively engaged in cutting-edge research across a wide range of areas, including new product development, PHT, food processing technologies, valorization of wastes, development of new chemical entities, isolation and purification of natural compounds, development of analytical and bio-analytical methods, pre-clinical drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics studies (DMPK). As per the NEP-2020, we encourage collaboration and interdisciplinary approaches to address societal and industrial issues. Our faculty members are well aware of the responsibility to make the students ready for industry, research, academia and society as well.

At the department, we value diversity, creativity, and ethical conduct in all our endeavors. We are committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment where all members of our community can thrive and realize their full potential.

It’s an opportunity for me to act as a Head of the department and take forward the legacy of this department.
