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.

Stories/ Testimony
Madhushree R (UG)
The curriculum is designed in such a way that students are capable enough to get into research at the early age of their Bachelor’s as well as Master’s program. The exposure to research during my UG program (Dissertation course) developed an enthusiasm in me to step into the scientific field, which resulted in an internationally reviewed paper publications. The motivation and confidence built in me was carried out as an active researcher during my Master’s. At present, I am a PhD scholar at the Dept of Chemistry, Christ University.
Gokul Krishnan (UG)
Research at Christ university has helped me gain hands-on experience in applying theoretical knowledge in real world situations, improving my thinking beyond the classroom. Presenting my project to faculties has improved my presentation, speaking and communication skills. Research skills and experience that I gained from Christ university has helped me choose my path forward in research.
Amy Jose K (UG)
The department has always tried to include research into the curriculum, thereby encouraging students to actively participate in various works that can boost the profile of the students. I believe that this early exposure to research has helped me to hone my skill sets.
