The Chemical Engineering Department at Shroff S.R. Rotary Institute of Chemical Technology (SRICT) is an important part of UPL University of Sustainable Technology. It was established in 2011 to train skilled and industry-ready chemical engineers. The department offers Diploma, Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Ph.D. programs. These programs combine strong theoretical knowledge with practical and industrial experience.
Our department is equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories, pilot plants, and advanced simulation software to support experiential learning. The curriculum is aligned with industry requirements and emphasizes sustainable and green engineering practices. Our faculty members are highly qualified. They are active in research, consultancy, and industry collaborations. Several student and faculty research projects have been implemented at industrial scale. The department maintains strong links with the industry and regularly offers customized training and refresher courses for working professionals. These programs cover key topics such as unit operations and other relevant areas in chemical engineering. Recently, we have conducted refresher courses on Distillation, Process Safety, and Process Optimization, which received an excellent response from industry participants. Additionally, we offer certification courses specifically designed for plant operators.
In addition to industry partnerships, we have signed MoUs with various chemical industries and top research institutes like NCL, NEERI, and IICT, Hyderabad. These collaborations support joint research and academic excellence. Some of our students have completed summer internships at international universities, including the University of Newcastle, Australia, and Miami University, USA. We have a strong Training and Placement Cell. It works closely with industries to provide students with internships and job opportunities. Many alumni are placed in top companies or are pursuing higher studies in India and abroad. Students are also trained for national-level exams like GATE and CAT. Some of our alumni have achieved top ranks in these exams.
The department encourages students to participate in national and international conferences. They regularly present their work and win recognition. Our IIChE student chapter at SRICT is one of the most active in the country. It has won the "Best Student Chapter" award six times at the national level. The Chemical Engineering Department at SRICT is known for academic quality, strong industry connections, and focus on sustainability. We are proud to prepare students who contribute positively to the chemical industry and society.
