The chemistry department does not offer an undergraduate degree in Chemistry. However, it actively supports the undergraduate programs (B. Tech.) in Computer Science and Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering at the institute. All undergraduate students of this institute are required to do two core courses and a course in Environmental Science and Engineering. Based on their preferences, students may choose one or more electives under the open electives category.
