Alumni Experience:
It gives me immense pleasure to give this feedback for the best Organic Chemistry Department in whole Charotar region. To start with, the OC department is equipped with state of the equipments( Of course, in working conditions!!!). It has a great laboratory to execute basic and advanced chemical reactions, both in the field of organic, physical and inorganic chemistry. Also, the noticeable aspect in OC Department is the highly efficient faculty. All the faculties are extremely supportive. This supportiveness can be attributed to the fact that any student can go and meet them anytime, anything whether it’s academic or non academic, and he/she is bound to get appropriate response. This key point makes the department unique. You ask the question, they will surely answer it, and they will answer it right. In my two year regime of ISTAR, I have personally experienced that lectures are regularly conducted, punctuality is always maintained, laboratory is always open for exploration to the fascinating world of chemical analysis, each and every protocol is followed. I personally recommend every chemistry student to opt for Masters in Organic Chemistry from the OC Department in ISTAR. It will definitely nurture your hunger for knowledge, and uplift the paradigm for a great student-teacher relationship.
