Government Graduate College Asghar Mall, Rawalpindi · est. 1948

The Department of Chemistry aims to be a department students choose because they want to understand how the material world actually works, and to leave with the laboratory skill, analytical judgment, and scientific grounding to do something useful with that understanding. Chemistry sits at the centre of problems Pakistan needs solved — clean water, pollution, climate change, energy, food safety, and industrial growth all come back to chemical questions in the end.

Vision: To produce graduates who can walk into a laboratory, a classroom, or a research setting and hold their own: analysts, technicians, researchers, and teachers who take the discipline seriously and use it well.

Mission: Deliver a BS Chemistry curriculum aligned with HEC and University of the Punjab requirements, running from foundational theory through analytical, physical, organic, and inorganic chemistry; build the laboratory and analytical skills the discipline requires in practice; prepare graduates for chemical, pharmaceutical, environmental, food, and manufacturing industries and for further study at MPhil/MS/PhD level; and connect classroom chemistry to practical problems — clean water, pollution control, food safety, sustainable industry.

Why Study Chemistry Here

Chemistry is no longer just formulas and laboratory experiments. In 2026, it sits at the centre of many of the challenges Pakistan needs to solve — clean water, environmental pollution, climate change, renewable energy, food safety, pharmaceutical development, industrial growth, waste management, and sustainable manufacturing are all, at heart, chemical questions. The degree opens a fairly clear set of paths: laboratory analyst, quality-control officer, research assistant, chemical technician, or production officer across the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, environmental, and manufacturing industries; environmental and public-health roles with government agencies; research positions; competitive examinations; higher study at MPhil/PhD level; and teaching and research at school, college, and university level.
