Department and DemographicsThe Chemical and Biochemical Engineering department of IIT Patna was initiated in the year of 2013 andthe B.Tech. program in Chemical Engineering commenced in the year 2016. Within the short durationsince inception, the department has steadily grownin facilities, including teaching and research laboratories, and the number of faculty and students. Thedepartment has credible research output in terms ofjournal publications, external research funding, andcollaborations. With the first batch of undergraduate students graduating in 2020, the department islooking forward to good placement record too. Thestudents have been trained well in both technical and4Chemical Engineering - IIT Patnasoft skills keeping their employability in focus. EveryUG student in the department has undergone summer-internship to earn them valuable experience thatwill help them select their career path. Unique fromother UG programs, internships, industrial visits, andtalks by experts have been part of the B.Tech. Chemical Engineering curriculum to ensure that they are exposed to the numerous opportunities in chemical andallied industries. Similarly, the final year projects havealso been spread across industrial and research topics to provide the students with a flavour of projectimplementation where they implement classroomknowledge in real-world scenarios.

Co-curricular ActivitiesThe department promotes multidisciplinary and high quality education and research in Chemical Engineering by encouraging participation of students in various activities, workshops and competitions. Owing tothis, our students are skilled in various domains across different fields.Experimental and Modeling and Simulation-based ResearchQuantitative and Systems BiologyApplied Data Science, Machine Learning and BlockchainWeb and Mobile Application DevelopmentMarketing and Business DevelopmentEducational Instructors (eg. Unacademy)CChem-e-carOur department students actively participate in designing and building asmall-scale automobile that operates by chemical means. The purpose ofChem-e-Car is to enhance the experimental knowledge of the students. Thepreviously built car model derived power from thermoelectric generatorsand the stopping mechanism was based on the iodine clock reaction.MDepartmental MagazineOur department students have designed and released twelve issues of amagazine named ‘Tribune’ which covers various research in chemistry andchemical engineering conducted across the globe, recruitment processfor major chemical companies of India, Nobel Prize winners in Chemistry,department club’s events during college fests, internship experience of department students and many more captivating stuff.IInter-IIT Tech MeetOur department students have also participated in events conducted inInter IIT Tech Meets which occurs annually. Dheeraj Kalani lead a group toTech Meet 2019 which developed smart prototypes that could reduce various forms of energy wastage. Aswin Krishna represented IIT Patna at theprevious edition in an astronomical event of Messier marathon.8Chemical Engineering - IIT Patna
