Chemistry
Chemistry is the
branch of Science that deals with the study of a range of matters such as
atoms, crystals, molecules and many other collections of matters whether they
are in isolation or in combination. It also involves the concepts of energy and
entropy that are related to various chemical processes. Professionals working
in this field are called chemists. They study the various compositions of matters
and its concerned properties like density, size, shape and acidity.
Job Prospects:-
The
chemicals are used in almost every field like medicines, food products,
and electronics and even in construction activities. This creates many
opportunities for the chemistry graduates in diverse fields. The
industries, specially chemical and pharmaceutical, the universities and
government laboratories are the three major employers who recruit
Chemistry graduates. The entry level jobs in this field usually require at
least the bachelor’s degree in chemistry, but majority of the jobs like
research needs candidates with PhD in the same. The chemical industries
are also doing well in India and there is huge demand for chemists for
various positions. The employment areas for the B.Sc Chemistry graduates
include pharmaceutical industries, chemical manufacturers, Forensic
Science Department, plastic industries, agrochemical industries, etc.
Apart from these, they are also recruited in other fields such as oil, gas
and power sectors and even in defence services. Chemists gets placed in
various industries like Pharmaceuticals, Plastics, Pulp and Paper, Petroleum,
Fine and Heavy Chemical Manufacturing, Food and Beverage Production, Mining
and Metallurgy etc.
You
can do graduation in various specialized areas in Chemistry like Polymer
Chemistry, Industrial Chemistry, Bio Chemistry etc.
Polymer chemistry is the branch of Chemistry that deals with the study and manipulation of synthetic and organic chemical substances known as polymers. Polymers have various properties like flexibility, durability, hardness etc.
Polymer Chemists deal with the nature, structure, and
applications for polymers, e.g. plastics, synthetic materials, soaps and
cleansers, and other chemical products. They can work in pharmaceutical and
medicine manufacturing and in professional, scientific, and technical services
firms.
Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes that take
place in living organisms. Biochemists can pursue stem cell or genetic research
that has the potential to result in dramatic medical or scientific
breakthroughs. Some biochemists study the body’s immune response to germs and
allergens or the effectiveness of drugs in treating a wide array of
afflictions. Other biochemists work in the commercial food or agricultural
field looking for ways to improve products and crops.
Industrial Chemistry is the link between the research and industrial-scale
chemical engineering. Industrial chemists make use of their broad understanding
of chemistry and environmental sustainability in areas like pharmaceutical
companies, polymer manufacturing, petrochemical processing, food science, and
manufacturing industries. Industrial
chemists connect science and production. Industrial chemistry is part of the long chain in the
design and manufacturing process. Industrial chemists deal with the ideas, the
design, the testing, and prototyping of new industrial products. In order to
design something entirely new to help solve the major problems of the world
their essential skills are, in-depth knowledge and application of chemistry and
creativity with chemicals. The industrial chemist precedes the chemical
engineer in the process of bringing something to market.
