Testimonials

Archana Kaliyaraj Selva Kumar (PG)

The research opportunities at the Department of Chemistry, Christ University, helped me find my passion towards research. I got exposure to various synthesis routes and instrumentation techniques. These were taught out of the regular curriculum due to my interest in research during my post-graduation, which were the stepping stones of my research career at University of Oxford, UK

Ajay Jose (PG)

I received my primary experience in research from Christ University during my Masters in Chemistry. I was able to publish around 5-6 papers during the time I worked at Christ University as both first and co-authored which boosted my CV for PhD applications. Currently I am a doctoral candidate at University of Auckland.

Samika Sanjay Anand (PG)

The Department of Chemistry at CHRIST (Deemed to be University) ensures that a research scholar here, undergoes holistic development; academically, scientifically, socially and emotionally, making him/her confident and bold enough to face the real world. I joined Christ University as a MSc student, and was quite encouraged by my teachers to pursue research at the PG level. With their exceptional support and guidance, I published a paper in a Q2 ranked journal; which further motivated me to join for PhD. I can proudly say that the PhD programme offered here, has given me immense confidence and knowledge, making me outshine scholars of my age, elsewhere. I am currently pursuing my research, with JRF under the scheme of "Innovation in Science Pursuit for Inspired Research (INSPIRE)" by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India.
