Bachelor of Science (Honours) - B. Sc. (Hons.) - Chemistry

Freshers in 2025 can expect INR 2.5-5.8 LPA, with an average of about INR 3 LPA. Lab chemists and analysts usually start at INR 2.5-3.5 LPA, while specialised R&D or pharma roles can reach INR 4-6 LPA. With 3- years of experience, salaries can grow to INR 6-10 LPA.

You’ll study organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, and biochemistry, plus electives like Green Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, and Forensic Chemistry. Labs cover organic, inorganic, physical, and advanced techniques. Interdisciplinary courses like Maths for Chemists, Physics for Chemists, Biology, and Environmental Science add extra depth. For more details, you can refer to the B. Sc. (Hons.) Chemistry Page.

It’s a four-year specialised degree (as per NEP 2020) focused on advanced, research-oriented study. Compared to a general B. Sc., it goes deeper into chemistry and includes labs, electives, and projects. At Alliance University, it also emphasises internships and applications in fields like pharma, nanotech, and sustainability.

At Alliance University, in Semester 1, students are introduced to Chemical Bonding, Structure of Atom, Mathematics for Chemists, and Inorganic Lab work, along with courses in AI Tools, Universal Human Values, Environmental Science, Critical Thinking, and Communicative English. Semester 2 builds on this foundation with Organic Chemistry basics, States of Matter, Physics for Chemists, and Organic Lab, complemented by subjects such as Stress Management, Personal Finance, an Open Elective, Gender Studies, and Managing Emotions. For more details, you can refer to the B. Sc. (Hons.) Chemistry Page.

Mathematics is not compulsory for admission to the B.Sc. Chemistry Honours programme at Alliance University. The general eligibility requires passing 10+2 (or equivalent) from a recognised board with minimum marks as per University norms (typically 50-60% aggregate in Physics, Chemistry, and either Mathematics or Biology).

However, mathematics is included as a core subject in the curriculum, specifically through the course "Mathematics for Chemists" in Semester 1 (2 credits). This course is essential for understanding physical chemistry topics such as quantum mechanics and thermodynamics, and it is integrated as a core skill within the program.

10+2 (or equivalent) from a recognised board with 50–60% aggregate in Physics, Chemistry, and Maths/Biology. English proficiency and entrance/interviews may apply. Up to 20% seats are reserved for NRI/foreign nationals.

You gain a solid foundation in chemistry with hands-on labs, research projects, and electives for specialisation. Skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary learning make you employable in pharma, R&D, and allied industries. Starting packages are usually ?3–6 LPA, with higher studies boosting career growth.

As an Honours program, the major is Chemistry (81 core credits) with fixed combinations:

Core: Chemistry subjects + labs.

Interdisciplinary: Physics for Chemists, Basic Biology, Mathematics for Chemists.

Electives: Choose from 18 options like Green Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, Polymer Chemistry (24 credits total, e.g., 3 in Sem 4, 6 in Sem 5-6, 3 in Sem 7-8).

Open Electives: Language, general sciences (8+2 credits).

Skill Enhancement: Excel/PowerPoint, Digital Tools (6 credits). For more information, you can refer to the B. Sc. (Hons.) Chemistry Page.

Yes. Alliance University offers internships (Semester 6) and projects that help with placements. Many students land roles in pharma, R&D, or chemical industries with packages of INR 3–5 LPA. Higher studies like M. Sc. or certifications improve opportunities further.

It’s a four-year degree (160 credits, 8 semesters) with an exit option after three years for a general B. Sc. Degree.

Yes. Subjects like Biology, Physics for Chemists, Biochemistry, and Environmental Science are integrated, along with electives like Green Chemistry and Bio-inorganic Chemistry. This makes the programme truly interdisciplinary.

Yes, Alliance emphasises industry exposure through mandatory Summer Internship (Sem 6, 5 credits, 45 days with report / viva), Capstone Projects (Sem 7-8, 12 credits), hands-on labs (e.g., Advanced Characterisation), and electives like Industrial Chemistry. Project-based learning includes research methodology and nanotechnology projects. University ties with pharmaceutical and materials firms provide real-world applications.

Faculty come from top institutes and specialise in areas like nanomaterials, bioinorganic chemistry, and catalysis. Facilities include spectroscopy labs, nanotech setups, chromatography instruments, and central facilities like TEM and Raman spectroscopy.

Yes. Students take part in conferences, seminars, and workshops, often presenting research in fields like nanotech. Guest lectures, science forums, and faculty-mentored projects nurture a culture of curiosity and innovation.
