There are two chemical analysis laboratories separately for UG and PG courses equipped with all necessary equipments like corrosive resistance digital balance, hot air oven, centrifuge machine, conductivity meter, potentiometer, magnetic stirrer, heating mantle, temperature-controlled water bath, etc. The lab is built in facility to attend lecture and experiment.

 

The lab is equipped with computers installed with advanced software ‘Gaussian 16’ and ‘ChemDraw professional’ for the students to work with Molecular modeling simulation.


Library

The department has a library comprising over 500 books. The library is in built to facilitate students to have subjective learning and discussion with staff while studying. The library has a varied collection of different branches of chemistry like inorganic, organic, physical, analytical, spectroscopy, etc.. authored by national and international experts. The department aims to strengthen the library with more books every semester enabling easy accessibility and availability to all students. Moreover, there are chemistry books and journals in the central library for anyone in the campus to read and access at any time.
