The Department of Chemical Engineering was established in 1999-2000 with a view of imparting state of the art education in cutting edge technologies of the world. The sanctioned intake in 1999 was 60 students per year. The Department has since seen tremendous growth in all areas. The chemical engineering department is housed in an ultramodern complex, and has well equipped laboratories with modern equipment. It is the only Chemical Engineering department Accredited by NBA, New Delhi in the RTM Nagpur University region amongst all affiliated Engineering Colleges. Since biotechnology has close links with chemical engineering in areas such as reactor design, processing and modeling it is being considered an extension of the department of chemical engineering.
