This course is specifically designed for the BTech/BE engineering students. An appropriate contribution from all the core areas of chemistry (physical, inorganic, and organic) has been assembled here to provide the students an in-depth understanding of the fundamental topics. Additionally, the course outline has been designed to ensure the exposure of the students to chemistry-related interdisciplinary topics that will aid the students later in their core subject areas.INTENDED AUDIENCE : Any Interested LearnersINDUSTRY SUPPORT : L&T power
