Which is better, CURAJ or CUPB for an MSc in chemistry?

Anindya Guha

28 Dec 21

All central universities including CURAJ, CUPB are good for Chemistry branches like Organic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, and Applied Chemistry. The course curriculum followed by these universities is up-to-the industry standard. The lab resources at these universities are also quite good. CURAJ and CUPB are also located in the industrial region, so you will get decent employment options. You can choose either of these two universities for an M.Sc in Chemistry.

Shall I go for IIT Bhubaneswar or NIT Rourkela or IIT Hyderabad for an MSc in Chemistry?

Adrija Sinha

If you are interested in academics and want to pursue research after completing M.Sc, NIT Rourkela is the best option among these. The institute offers good resources and facilities to carry out research interests. You can explore and learn.

If you don’t want to do a PhD after completing M.Sc, choose one of the IITs. The IIT tag will help get good placement opportunities.

Is JNCASR good for an MSc in Chemistry?

Sandipan Mukharjee

26 Nov 21

The general coursework for M.Sc Chemistry at JNCASR is not the best. But the research interface makes the course worthwhile. All the faculty members of the department are actively involved in research. They regularly publish in well-reputed journals. The research quality and the infrastructural facilities offered are great.

If you want a rigorous core curriculum, then you should first consider state universities followed by IITs. JNCASR is also a decent option for pursuing your M.Sc Chemistry degree. It offers specialization in either Material Chemistry or Chemical Biology. If research is your long-term goal, then choosing JNCASR Bangalore will be the best option.

How is Kurukshetra University for MSc in chemistry?

Srinjini Roy

20 Oct 21

I have a friend who completed his M.Sc in Chemistry from Kurukshetra University. He advises against joining the institute. According to him, it’s better to prefer a central university or an IIT for your M.Sc degree.

Only the Organic Chemistry department is good. The other departments of Chemistry are not that great. The research culture is also not that effective. Only the first year of your M.Sc degree will be worth it. The final year is more like a formality at Inorganic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry department.

Is Jiwaji University Gwalior good for an M.Sc. in chemistry?

Yash Mathur

11 Oct 21

The Department of Chemistry of Jiwaji University Gwalior has some of the best labs in the state of Madhya Pradesh. The alumni network does not let any of the graduate students sit idle and waste their time.

A lot of the students, however, do not have respect for the university as the pattern of the exams is not regular and the classes are just as irregular.

There are usually 10 available seats and selection in this college is carried out on the basis of an entrance exam. Here the fees are much more reasonable than other colleges. If you study here, you may not get the best exposure but if you work hard, you could have the chance of succeeding also.

Is it possible to prepare govt exams with parallel M.Sc Chemistry at Acharya Nagarjuna University? Please give suggestions about time management.

Chestha Singh,

30 Oct 21

Preparing for a government exam parallel with M.Sc Chemistry, is a bit tough. Here are some reasons as to why it could become difficult.

You will have 4 days of lab class including physical, organic, inorganic and analytical lab.
You will have assignments to write, records to be completed, and seminars you need to attend and prepare for.
You will have to prepare for C-1 and C-2 internals.
Try maintaining a proper schedule, plan your activities beforehand.
If your classes become strict you will hardly get enough time to study during the day. But make time either early morning or late at night.
Make a to-do list as you are preparing for competitive exams.
Make daily, weekly, monthly and yearly goals and stick to them.
If you are traveling try to use the time effectively by reading inorganic theory concepts or try solving previous year’s government exam questions.
Usually in chemistry most of the organic and inorganic are heat-related experiments.

If you have free time, utilize it by visiting the library and reading books on inorganic chemistry. You could also complete your assignments to stay a bit ahead.

You will be left with 4-5 hours because of your M.Sc. but it is still sufficient, as you can study effectively between these hours. Make short notes and focus one day on revision, do mock tests to analyze your strengths and weaknesses and work on them.

Should I take an M.Sc in chemistry admission from HPU or Chandigarh University?

Monideepa Chowdhury

28 Jul 22

You should choose Chandigarh University for an M.Sc in Chemistry.

The department has state-of-the-art laboratories to perform practicals for Physical, Organic, and Inorganic Chemistry.
CU used teaching aids such as PPTs, Models, Animated Videos, Charts, etc.
Many activities are organized throughout the academic year to encourage learning outside the classroom.
The faculty pool for Chemistry is excellent.
CU encourages students to publish research papers during their last semester.

In terms of academics, learning resources, and facilities, CU will be better than HPU.
