Electrochemistry is one of the many divisions of chemistry. It is basically the combination of chemistry and engineering. It is used for the production of chemicals and other by products. Electrochemistry is basically about the study of chemical reactions that occur in a chemical solution. The branch of electrochemical engineering includes sciences like nanotechnology and biotechnology to the processing of minerals. There are many colleges in India that provides students with postgraduate courses in electrochemical engineering. Those students who have cleared their Bachelors degree in this subject are suitable to apply for the courses.
