When the institute was first established in 1994, it offered faculty in the arts. In 2009, it added colleges of commerce and science to its list of offerings. The Department of Chemistry was established in the same year and began offering undergraduate courses. Since then, the department’s undergraduate curriculum has expanded to include a Postgraduate Chemistry Programme. It now provides a certificate Programme that focuses on the construction and upkeep of fundamental knowledge. The department currently has two well-stocked laboratories with all the tools, equipment, and specimens needed. Two faculty members on a contract and four permanent faculty members meet the necessary standards for staffing.
