J. C. BOSE University of Science and Technology, YMCA
J. C. Bose University of Science and Technology, YMCA, Faridabad (erstwhile YMCA
University of Science and Technology, Faridabad erstwhile YMCA Institute of Engineering,
Faridabad) was established in the year 1969, as a joint venture of the National Council of
YMCAs of India, Govt of Haryana, and the Central Agencies for Development Aid, Bonn,
Germany. It started as an Indo-German project with an aim to impart technical education to
a developing India on German pattern.
The labs & workshops have been setup with the assistance of German expertise. In
1996, State Govt. of Haryana took complete control of the Institute and upgraded it to
University status in Dec. 2009. The university offers 4-year B. Tech degree course in seven
disciplines
The university has added new chapters in it’s glorious history i. e. M.B.A., M.C.A,
M.Tech. (Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering &
Mechanical Engineering), M.Sc. (Physics, Maths, Chemistry & Environmental Sciences),
M.A.(Mass Communication and Journalism) and Ph.D.
The competence of the University has been recognized at various levels by the
agencies like UGC (grant of 12B status), accreditation (NAAC Grade ‘A’), NIRF (best ranking
amongst State Engineering Universities in Haryana), etc.
VISION

J. C. Bose University of Science & Technology,
YMCA, Faridabad (formerly, YMCA
University of Science and Technology,
Faridabad) has been in existence for the past
50 years and consistently been contributing
towards creation of competent engineering
professionals and entrepreneurs. An
Institution that had a humble beginning as a
post diploma institution and famous for
generating skilled technical human resource for the industry has been elevated in 2009 as
University of Science & Technology to further create competent human resource in diversified
areas of Science & Technology. The competence of the University has been recognized at various
levels by the agencies like UGC (grant of 12B status), accreditation (NAAC Grade ‘A’), NIRF (best

Research Areas/interest: During PhD course, my research was mainly focused on bioorganic field as well as mechanistic study in organic chemistry in general. We developed carbonic anhydrase inhibitors and antimicrobial as well as anti-inflammatory agent in particular in the medicinal area of my research. Since the discovery of carbonic anhydrases, targeting their tumor associated isoforms hCA IX and XII selectively over hCA I and II has been considered as a promising strategy in treatment of cancer. We have designed and synthesized some sulfonamide based heterocyclic scaffolds exhibiting moderate to excellent inhibition profile against hCA IX and XII. Synthesis of all the target compounds was purely done by us in our laboratory while their biological testing was performed by our collaborators. Apart from this work, we have also developed some facile and efficient methodologies for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds as well as their precursors.
