Chemical engineering deals with the application of physical science (in particular chemistry and physics) and mathematics to the process of converting raw materials into more useful and valuable forms.

Chemical Engineering is serving as ‘the backbone’ for the entire spectrum of the process industry. Its direct involvement into the fields of petrochemicals, production of inorganic and organic chemicals, food processing industry and waste recycle has made its mark among the core engineering sciences. Now its entry into the multiple discipline of Environmental engineering, Energy conservation, Cosmetology and Biotechnology is paving new ways for advancement in science and technology. Chemical engineers design, build and operate the plants to produce the materials we use in today’s complex society such as petrol, plastics, process foods, fertilizers, paints, cement, paper and pharmaceuticals. These are among the products created by chemical engineers.

The department of Chemical Engineering at D. Y. Patil College of Engineering and Technology was established in the year 1997. The achievements of the students have been prolific in academic, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. The department headed by Mr. K. T. Jadhav along with experienced staff is engaged actively in enhancing industrially beneficial activities.

Leading companies have been recruiting our students such as Praj, Gharda Chemicals, Galaxy Surfactants, Hindustan Polyamide, ICB Technimont to name a few.
