The Department of Chemistry was one of the founding departments of Sathyabama started in the year 1988. Initially, the department was inducted to teach for the undergraduate engineering chemistry courses of the Institute. The department has started its research programme in the year 2001 and established the post-graduate and undergraduate courses in the year 2015 and 2017 respectively. Ever since, the department is shaping the students career through its graduation programme and has produced 72 postgraduates and 67 undergraduates. In research domain, it has spread its wings in translational research with a leading- edge technology in health care treatment, industrial catalysis and in socially relevant research projects. It has well-established laboratories equipped with sophisticated instruments, which fulfil the needs of PG and Ph.D students. The department has highly qualified faculty and more than 20 Ph.D students. It has doctorates and post-doctorates from world class institutions like NUS, IIT, NIT CECRI, NML, etc. and published more than 160 research papers in reputed journals with high impact factor. h-Index of the department is 17. The department has undertaken many research projects funded by CSIR, ISRO, DST and IGCAR and has two granted patents.

Centre for Academic Partnership & International Relations is an initiative of Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology devoted to promote academic alliances with Universities and Institutes at National and International level. The Centre establishes a link through Memorandum of Understanding to facilitate Research Collaboration, Student Exchange Programmes and Faculty Exchange Programmes.
The curriculum strives to provide a strong scientific technical foundation in defining problem and act as solution provider for industrial requirement. For Bachelor's programme, the student must complete a 10 core subjects with an average credit of 90. The programme offers equal importance to mathematics, physics and humanities to compete with competitive examinations. For Master's programme, the student will be exposed to equal weightage in physical, organic and inorganic chemistry domains to meet the industrial requirements.
