SCHEMCON

SCHEMCON (Students’ Chemical Engineering Congress) is an annual national-level event organized by the Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers (IIChE) through its student chapters. Hosted by different engineering institutes across India, the event serves as a platform for chemical engineering students to present research, share innovative ideas, and engage with peers and professionals. It typically features technical paper presentations, poster sessions, guest lectures, workshops, and panel discussions, fostering knowledge exchange and professional development. Each edition of SCHEMCON revolves around a contemporary theme in chemical engineering, such as sustainability, energy innovation, or industrial transformation. The event encourages student participation from across the country and facilitates networking with academia and industry leaders. By bridging the gap between academic learning and real-world applications, SCHEMCON plays a vital role in shaping the future of budding chemical engineers.

IIChE Urjostsav Event (UrjaXperience2024)

As part of this year’s technical fest, URJOTSAV, we successfully conducted our flagship event URJAXPERIENCE. In this event, teams of 1 to 3 passionate innovators dove into contemporary energy challenges and explored groundbreaking solutions in the areas of renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainability.Winners got rewards and certificate.

URJAXPERIENCE aimed to foster creativity, collaboration, and a deep commitment to a sustainable future, empowering participants to think beyond conventional boundaries and present innovative ideas that address real-world energy issues.

The third-year students from RGIPT got the chance to visit HMEL Bathinda, organised by IIChE Student Chapter. This experience helped the students understand what is beyond the books and what real-life applications look like. The students got a look at how things actually work in the oil and gas industry from the technical side of refining to the safety measures that keep everything running smoothly. They also visited the HMEL township, where they got a feel of what life might look like after college. The trip was eye-opening and filled with memories.

This event provides a dynamic platform designed to foster personal and professional growth. Participants will have the opportunity to enhance their communication and critical thinking skills, build confidence, and engage in meaningful discussions on current and relevant topics. The event also promotes teamwork, leadership, effective time management and other key qualities valued in placement processes. It offers a chance to connect with peers and seniors, while earning a certificate to strengthen any professional profile.

The IIChE RGIPT Student Chapter, in collaboration with IIChE HBTU, hosted ChEureka: Where Curiosity Meets Chemical Ingenuity on 26th April 2025. The event was held online and students were invited from across the country to dive into real-world case studies focused on green chemistry and its role in shaping sustainable industrial practices. It was more than just a competition—it was a platform for young chemical engineering minds to think critically, collaborate creatively, and apply their knowledge to pressing environmental challenges. Participants approached the problems with enthusiasm and fresh perspectives, proposing thoughtful and innovative solutions. Their work was evaluated by a panel of respected judges from both institutions, who praised the technical depth, originality, and practical feasibility of the submissions. ChEureka was a true celebration of curiosity, ingenuity, and the drive to make a positive impact through chemical engineering.

Exploring Careers and Innovations: IIChE Student Chapter Webinar Series

The IIChE Student Chapter hosted a dynamic series of webinars designed to help students navigate the exciting and ever-evolving world of chemical engineering. From exploring the shift from oil and gas to the tech industry, to uncovering diverse career paths and real-world challenges faced by engineers, each session offered practical insights and inspiration. Highlights included talks on designing a successful chemical engineering career, mastering job market strategies, and discovering opportunities in the refining, petrochemical, and green energy sectors. A special focus was placed on the role of green hydrogen in promoting sustainability and decarbonization. These webinars brought together industry experts and passionate students, sparking meaningful conversations about the future of chemical engineering.
