UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY

The University School of Chemical Technology (USCT), a constituent school of Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU), New Delhi, was established in 1999. The school was founded with the twin objectives of producing skilled professionals and keeping pace with the research and development activities of the rapidly evolving chemical and allied engineering field. USCT offers Dual Degree (B.Tech. & M.Tech.), M.Tech., Ph.D. programs in Chemical Engineering, and B.Tech. in Energy Engineering. The dual degree program is particularly noteworthy as it provides an integrated pathway to obtain both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. The course curriculums of various programs are designed to blend core chemical engineering fundamentals with emerging areas such as environmental engineering, process modelling and simulation, and energy engineering. The scheme and syllabus for all programs are in line with AICTE and NEP-2020 guidelines. The school boasts a dynamic team of qualified, experienced faculty members, many of whom are alumni of prestigious institutes like IITs and NITs. The school strongly emphasizes collaborative research. Apart from publishing research findings in internationally reputable peer-reviewed journals, USCT faculties are also involved in various extramural research projects funded by government agencies like CSIR, SERB-DST, and DBT.

The school has well-equipped laboratories required for B.Tech. and M.Tech. programs. The school also has dedicated instrumentation and computational facilities equipped with state-of-the-art software, i.e., ASPEN Plus, MATLAB, COMSOL, Design-Expert, and Ansys Fluent. The school maintains a strong interface with the industry, offering students opportunities for internships, industrial visits, and placements in leading companies. USCT, located in GGSIPU’s Dwarka campus, provides a vibrant academic environment, excellent infrastructure, and access to cutting-edge research opportunities in the National Capital Region (NCR). USCT is an obvious choice for students aspiring to build a career in chemical and energy engineering because of its strong academic foundation, research focus, and industry exposure.
