What Chemical Engineering Society, IIT Delhi does

The Chemical Engineering Society (ChES), IIT Delhi is a student-led organization operating under the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. It serves as the recognized representative body for undergraduate and postgraduate Chemical Engineering students at the institution, providing academic resources, career development support, mentorship, and community programming. The society is governed by a faculty leadership team (Faculty President, Faculty Advisors) and run by a student council of approximately 31 members organized into Coordinator, Executive, Technical, and Representative roles covering Research & Academics, Alumni & Career Cell, Events, Design & Media, and Operations functions.

ChES's core deliverables are the ChemE Library — a Google Drive-hosted academic repository with semester-wise lecture notes, tutorials, quizzes, solution sets, and topper handouts for core ChemE subjects — and a set of Career Guidance Resources providing structured roadmaps across six career paths (Software Development, Data Analytics, Quantitative Analysis, ML Engineering, Consulting, and Core Engineering). The society operates a website (ches.iitd.ac.in) that serves as the digital hub for events, opportunities, blogs, series, team information, and resource access, supplemented by an Instagram account (@ches_iitdelhi, 1.3K followers) and a LinkedIn page (2.2K+ followers). It runs a year-round events calendar including Freshers' Night, ChemE Night, Research Expo, Industry Visits, Coffee with Profs, Interns ke Fundae, and Alumni Talks.

ChES operates as a non-profit academic and professional development organization with no commercial revenue model. All services are provided free of charge to IIT Delhi's ChemE students. It has no external investors, no funding rounds, no parent entity, and no commercial partnerships. The organization has no proprietary technology platform — its digital infrastructure consists of a static website and a shared Google Drive folder. In March 2026, it published a WCAG 2.1 Level AA Accessibility Statement with compliance references to India's IT Act 2000 and Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016.
