LITU mulls shifting of three PG depts, start school of mgmt in exam section building
Nagpur: The Nagpur University's existing exam section building on the Laxminarayan Institute of Technological University (LITU) campus off Amravati Road, once it is handed over to the host institute, will be used to house the postgraduate departments of biochemistry, microbiology, and the Rajiv Gandhi Biotechnology Centre.
The LITU administration is also planning to introduce a school of management to run MBA, integrated-MBA, besides pharmaceutical engineering, and other courses from next year. Following separation, these PG departments were integrated into LITU.
LITU has been pushing for early possession of the exam section building to set in motion preparations for these courses and expansion works to transform into a state-of-the-art campus.
The state govt has already sanctioned Rs225 crore for LITU works. Along with the exam section building, the LITU administration is also seeking the early handing over of the Nelson Mandela hostel and staff quarters to develop modern infrastructure for its students and staff.
According to the MoU with NU, after the LIT became a university two years ago, June 2025 was fixed to hand over the exam section building, staff quarters, and Nelson Mandela hostel to LITU as they are located on its land.
However, NU's own challenges, including a lack of suitable space and the passing away of its VC Subhash Chaudhari, kept the exam section relocation process pending.
This week, a VC-level panel including top officials and office-bearers from both universities will be meeting to take a call on the issue. NU planned to shift the exam section to its old administrative building campus at Rabindranath Tagore Marg opposite Maharajbagh Zoo before June, but it came undone due to other projects coming up there and security issues.
LITU principal advisor Mohan Pande said the administration aims to achieve its goals as early as possible with the govt funds. "The buildings housing microbiology, biochemistry, and biotechnology face issues during rains because they are very old now. Initially, we plan to demolish microbiology and biochemistry buildings. Meantime, these departments can function from the exam section building," he said. Pande added that Nelson Mandela hostels are also not fit for living and remain unoccupied.
"These structures need to be razed to construct new LITU administrative offices," he said.
Pande said the exam section will also house management courses like the 5-year integrated BTech-MBA, three-year integrated MTech-MBA, pharmaceutical engineering, chemical supply chain management, and industrial safety courses. "We are planning to start MBA courses from next year and therefore need the possession soon to get necessary permission from regulatory bodies," he said.

IIT-Delhi launches 4-year BS in Chemistry programme
New Delhi, The Indian Institute of Technology , Delhi, will offer a new four-year undergraduate programme BS in Chemistry from the 2025 academic session, officials said on Sunday. It is the first Bachelors in Science programme which will be offered at the premier institute in the national capital. S Nagendran, Head of Chemistry at IIT-Delhi, described the new programme as "addressing the need to introduce multi-disciplinarity at an early level in chemical science education while simultaneously preserving the comprehensive and in-depth chemistry training expected from a pure sciences graduate". "It has been seen over time that, on one hand, engineering graduates frequently lack the depth of fundamental scientific knowledge necessary to conduct research in pure sciences, while on the other hand, pure chemistry graduates sometimes overlook engineering fundamentals," he said. Entry to this programme will be through JEE . Candidates qualifying the JEE will be able to opt for it through the JoSAA 2025 portal. Ravi P Singh, BS Chemistry programme coordinator, informed that during the initial two semesters of the first year, students will engage in common courses, akin to the first year of any BTech programme, establishing a solid foundation in sciences and basic engineering principles. "The second year will focus on core courses in chemistry. From the third year onwards, the curriculum introduces multidisciplinary courses with well-designed research components that will further extend into the fourth year. One unique feature is the opportunity for students to pursue a Minor in another department alongside their BS in Chemistry," Singh said. "The overall goal will be to train students in core chemistry topics, who will be able to relate the molecular fundamentals with the solution-driven approach of an engineer, thereby allowing them to impact global challenges with chemistry-based real-world solutions," he added. According to Singh, graduates of this programme will be poised to enter the pharmaceuticals, semiconductor, materials, manufacturing, defence, oil and gas, chemical consulting, automotive and petrochemical industries.
