Department Profile
The formal Chemical Technology-Paint Technology degree education in India was started during 1964 with “B.Sc. (Chem. Tech.) – Paint Technology”, of three year duration. In 1991 the 3 years B.Tech course after B.Sc. was changed to 4 years B.Tech course after I. Sc. (10+2), at par with other Engineering and Technology courses. There are Ph. D. program also in the Department. The Paint Technology Department remained joined with Oil Technology Department for a very long time. The twin department used to be known as Oil and Paint Technology Department. After the status of University, the new Department Chemical technology – Paint Technology was formed on 9th January 2017, and Professor PK.Kamani was appointed as the first Head of the Department. Presently Professor Arun Maithani is heading The Department.
