Undergraduate Program (B.Tech.)
Intake: 30
It’s my pleasure to welcome you to Chemical Engineering Department at the MGM University. The department was founded in 1983 and serve as an academic home to undergraduate and doctoral students. Department provide hands-on work experience to undergraduate students by placing them in a structured, multi-disciplinary projects and internships with local and national corporations. Chemical Engineering department is always in pursuit of excellence and recognize that students who become connected with current engineering practice and research areas, through participation in industrial internships and projects during their undergraduate years, tend to perform better and have a higher level of determination in their later professional life.
Research activities of our students are supported by the outstanding facilities available in the Department, process automation and additive manufacturing facility available at Innovation Incubation Research Centre (IIRC), Engineering Exploration Centre as well as interdisciplinary support from various engineering and science departments.
MGM University has an exciting time ahead as our country faces great scientific and technical challenges, and the solutions to many of which will be found by Chemical Engineers and it can be by you!
I invite you to join us as we together can improve our lives and build the world.

The Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) in Chemical Engineering degree program is approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and offers Choice Based Credit System education. In addition to core courses, student can opt for discipline specific elective subjects, open elective subjects from different institutes of the MGM University. This program is uniquely designed to enhance the employability and to prepare students to work in a multidisciplinary work environment. To achieve this, program offers Major-Minor degree scheme wherein Major will be in core Chemical Engineering and Minor will be as per students interests.
To provoke independent thoughts in students and importance of team work, program also gives emphasis on Outcome Based Education, design thinking process and cooperative education component involving Projects, Seminars, Internships and Activity Based Learning. We aim and prepare students to be adaptable and industry-ready having proficiency across range of technical and non-technical subjects. Chemical Engineers have continuously contributed and still are contributing to improve standard of living of the society through many sustainable processes and products. Therefore, after completion of this program our students will be very well suited to serve in both industrial and service sector.

Formative and summative assessment is carried out in every semester as Continuous and Comprehensive Assessment (CCA) based on evaluation rubrics. The Quality is assessed by grading system.
Chemical Engineering department:
Mass Transfer operations laboratory aims to introduce students to working of unit operation equipments most commonly used in chemical process industries for separation of components from a mixture of components. Objective is to give hands-on training to students through Experiments so as to understand operations of process equipments. Students correlate fundamentals studied in theory to practical applications similar to actual plant operation
In Chemical reaction engineering laboratory students get hands-on experience of understanding and applying theories of reaction engineering and reactor design operations on a lab scale equipments. Students study reaction engineering phenomena on Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR), CSTR in series, batch reactor, Tubular or plug flow reactor etc. Student can also study reaction kinetics and reactor design on Process flowsheet simulation software CHEMCAD
This laboratory gives hand-on experience to students about various advanced separation process currently being used in the industry. Students develop the understanding of significance of application of one or more conventional separation techniques in combination reactive systems through experiments and/or simulation.
Students are introduced to various techniques of determining of quality of products obtained in an industry and how to control it. The methods studied in this lab during first and second year of studies are useful in analysing the samples of compounds obtained in various experiments throughout their studies.
Mechanical Operations Laboratory enables students to understand & study various mechanical operations involved in separation of solid particles of different sizes as well as solid-fluid system. Many equipments are available in the laboratory such as Froth Flotation, Sigma Mixture, Ball Mill, Plate and Frame Filter, Cyclone Separator, Hammer Mill, Jaw Crusher, Batch Sedimentation, Sieve Shaker are available for experiments where students understands various operations such as solid fluid separation, size reduction, size separation, clarification, etc.
Industrial Pollution Control laboratory provides the facilities required to assess the quality of the raw water, treated water, sewage water and industrial effluent. Various experiments and procedures studied in this lab work introduce students to various allowable norms required to maintain the successful environment protection through safe supply of process water and discharge and disposal of effluents into the environment.
Process control Laboratory introduces students to the basic knowledge of response of a system which interact each other and which do not interact with each other using liquid Level equipments. Apart from understanding the response of a system through transfer functions, various controllers such as P, PI, PD & PID are used to introduce students to controller tuning widely used in the Chemical process Industry. Matlab® and Process flowsheet simulation software CHEMCAD® is also used to study control of process to study control of process
