Department Profile: The Department of Plastic Technology was established in 1964. At that time B.Sc. Chemical Technology degree course of 3-year duration was started. In 1991 the course was upgraded to B. Tech. 4-year degree course after completion of 10+ with intake of 30. Besides this, the department also offers Doctoral programme in Plastic Technology and Applied Chemistry. The curriculum of these programs encompasses latest developments in the field as well as present and future needs of the industry. In 2018 and 2019 the curriculum of all subjects were modified as per the guidance of National Board of Accreditation (NBA), New Delhi, for Outcome Based Education (OBE) System and mapped COs of all subjects with Program Outcomes given by NBA and approved by BOS and Academic Council. From session 2021-22 the M. Tech program with intake of 18 has been restarted and intake of B.Tech program has been increased to 60.

The Department has built up a comprehensive research infrastructure with state of the art facilities for carrying cutting-edge teaching and research. Constant efforts are being put up to maintain the high standards of this department to be ranked as one of the best in India. The Department strives to provide its students with facilities and environment that are conducive for creative and dynamic work.

The Department has contributed by way of paper publications in National/International journals of repute and by paper presentations in National/International conferences. The department has run various R&D projects sponsored by AICTE, DMSRDE, UPCST etc. It has also undertaken relevant research projects, which serves the interest of the industries. The Plastic Technology Department is proud of its excellent infrastructure and its role in providing the best professionals to the nation. The B.Tech. Programme in Plastic Technology Department has been accredited by National Board of Accreditation since 2003.
