Hello!

These are some of the topics/subjects that are taught in MSc Polymer Science-

Organic Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Introduction to Polymer Science, Analytical Chemistry of Polymers, Chain Polymerization, Condensation Polymerization, Physical Chemistry of Polymers, Rheology and Mechanical Properties of Polymers, Techniques of polymerization, Stereochemistry, Thermodynamics, Chromatography etc.

In addition you can refer to these books if you're planning to pursue MSc Polymer Science-

1. Chemical kinetics –K. J. Laidler
2. Thermodynamics-Kuriacose and Rajaram
3. Advanced Inorganic chemistry by J E .Huheey.
4. Organic chemistry-Morrison and Boyd (Prentice Hall)
5. TextBooks of Polymer Science –Bill Meyer (Wiley Inter Science Publishers)

Hope this helps!

hope this helps,

thankyou.

See Master in Polymer Science comes under the genre of the Engineering Sciences. As per most of the universities, the admission to this courses are provided on the basis of the XE or Engineering Science paper of GATE.

Now if you go for the course of the MTech Chemical Engineering then also you can specialize in the following fields:

• Chemical Engineering
• Energy Engineering
• Process Control & Instrumentation
• Biotechnology
• Chemical Process Design
• Chemical Plant Design
• Industrial Pollution Control
• Industrial Biotechnology
• Computer Aided Process and Equipment Design
• Polymer

So yeah! You are also eligible for the Polymer Science through the Masters in Polymer Sciences.

Hello student ,

The eligibility criteria for MSC in polymer chemistry/polymer science states that the candidate must have completed graduation in any relevant subject such as chemistry, mathematics, physics, etc., with minimum 50% marks from a recognised university. However the eligibility criteria may change slightly for different colleges and universities. So, you must check accordingly before applying.

A BTech Degree usually have stronger prospects across Technical and Non Technical Domains, and having a strong background in Mathematics, Statistics and Engineering, you are widely considered eligible for multiple roles across Technology, Finance, Data Science, Management, Supply Chain and Operations. With a BSc in Polymer Science, you should perhaps pursue a MCA/MSc/PhD for stronger prospects in Industry or if youre aspiring Teaching/Education/Research Industry in future.

Hi,

Bachelor of Science Honours in Polymer Science is an undergraduate Polymer Engineering course. Polymer Science or Macromolecular Science is the subfield of materials science concerned with polymers, primarily synthetic polymers such as plastics. The field of polymer science includes researchers in multiple disciplines including chemistry, physics, and engineering. The course includes chemistry, physics, chemical engineering and biochemistry. Polymer science is the study of the materials of everyday life and the development of new materials that meet societal and technological needs. Course structure introduces the students to Polymers that are usually manufactured in the form of fibres, yarns, flakes and granules. The course is career orienting in nature that provides many jobs after its completion.

Aspiring students should have passed 10+2 with science or its equivalent with a minimum aggregate of 50% from a recognised school board.

Hope this helps

Wish you luck

Hello Sanjay,

The calculation of best 4 for meeting the cutoff for B.Sc hons. in Polymer Science should compulsorily include one language subject along with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics only.

Therefore, you cannot include computer science marks instead of Mathematics.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Yes, you are definitely eligible for GATE CH Chemical Engineering and henceforth a strong career with PSUs lile ONGC, IOCL, SAIL, HPCL, BPCL, KIOCL, NMDC, BARC, DRDO and many others. You may even plan a M.Tech in some of the Higher Technical Institutions like IITs, IISc or Good NITs post you GATE
