B. Tech. (Chemical Engineering)
B. Tech. (Polymer Science & Engineering)
The department offers four years Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) programme (comprising eight semesters). B.Tech. in Chemical Engineering at IIT Roorkee is one of the best-rated undergraduate engineering programmes in the country. The student’s intake to this programme is through Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). The B.Tech. program in Chemical Engineering begins with a foundation in mathematics, chemistry, and physics. These fundamentals are used to develop the analytical tools of chemical engineering - fluid mechanics, chemical thermodynamics, and chemical kinetics and the units of chemical processes and engineering such as chemical reactors, bio-reactors, distillation columns, and heat exchangers are analyzed with the above tools. The students are trained to design chemical processes by integrating process units with regard to economics, safety, and environmental impact. This program aims at preparing professionals for practice in traditional areas of chemical engineering, chemicals, polymers, petroleum, utilities, pharmaceuticals, computers, and information technology as well as emerging areas of biotechnology and electronic materials.

The department also offers four years Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) programme (comprising eight semesters) in Polymer Science and Engineering. This programme covers basic but essential concepts of Mathematics, IT, Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, initially as this branch starts off with a mix of courses. Eventually, it takes on majorly polymer courses in subsequent years. The courses are made to cover every inch of the complexity of the concept while still being easily understandable. Chemical engineering concepts like Thermodynamics, Mass Transfer, Energy Balance, and other such concepts are also taught that acts as tools to help in the proper understanding of technicalities of polymer processing. A student on completion of this course would be a professional in understanding the properties of the polymer on a macro and molecular level, thus having the required skills to determine the application of polymer and also having enough knowledge of machinery and polymer processing to correctly devise and test the application showing a huge impact on this polymer driven era. Intake for this programme has been discontinued from 2021-22.
