Post Graduate Diploma in Analytical Chemistry PGDAC
Post Graduate Diploma in Analytical Chemistry (PGDAC) is a continuing education programme aimed for the enhancement of skills of the chemists employed in Industry, Research & Development and National Laboratories. It is also useful for all those Science Graduates who are aspiring to get employment in these labs.
Objectives
The broad objectives of the Programme are:
- To provide training in modern analytical techniques to the learners,
- To provide appropriate theoretical background and develop practical skills for analysing materials even in trace amounts using modern analytical methods and instruments,
- To enable students acquire the analytical data and interpret the same using statistical principles, and
- To inculcate a problem solving approach by coordinating different analytical techniques.
Eligibility: Science Graduate with Chemistry or B. Pharma./B.Tech. degree holders.
Medium of Instruction: English
Duration: Minimum 1 year and Maximum 3 years; offered in both January & July cycle of admissions.
Fee Structure: Rs. 9,600/- for full programme
