Students, staff and faculty members of the department actively engage in a number of outreach activities, where students and teachers from schools and other colleges are invited to IIT campus to observe, interact and learn the advancements in chemistry. Events such as this are aimed to create a spark in the young minds which may eventually grow into a strong interest to pursue a career in science.

Some of the activities that we regularly conduct are under the banners such as Vigyan Jyothi, Crystal, Science Quest and National Science Day.
