chemistry.
Features of the Research Centre
-
The research centre is networked with broad-band internet round
the clock and INFLIBNET network of UGC can be accessed
-
There is an air-conditioned analytical instrumentation room
equipped with sophisticated UV-Visible spectrophotometer
-
One major research project funded by UGC is in progress
-
Three minor research projects have been completed
-
Eleven research papers have been published in leading national and

reachable is 1200 oC), Two probe arrangement with
temperature controller for measuring dielectric constant,
loss and conductivity, LCR meter(Systronics make and Pacific
make), Electronic balance, pH
meters, Hot plate magnetic stirrers, Microwave oven, Hot
plates and ovens, Abbe’s refractometer, Digital multimeter
