LAB DESCRIPTION

Engineering Chemistry lab for 1^st year B. Tech students consists of volumetric lab and Instrumentation lab For CSE, IT and EE

Branches in 1^st semester and for ECE CE and ME Branches in the 2^nd semester. Volumetric lab is equipped with good number of 12-holed water baths, Water distillation unit, magnetic stirrer, digital and analytical balances, pipettes, burettes, conical flasks, beakers, standard flasks, measuring cylinders, reagent bottles, wash bottles and required chemicals. Instrumentation lab is equipped with good number of conductometers, potentiometers, pH meters, colorimeters, UV chambers, TLC chambers, TLC slides, beakers, pipettes and burettes. The lab helps the student to gain the knowledge in the field of applications Eg: preparation of drugs like Asprin, Paracetamol , rubber materials like Thiokol rubber, working of batteries, in testing surface tension of liquids also gets knowledge of range hardness of water to be used etc.

Physics Lab

Lab Description

The Subject of Physics of H&S department consists of two labs, namely Engineering Physics Lab and Applied Physics lab for non-circuit (CE&ME) and circuit branches (EEE, ECE, CSE&IT) respectively in a semester in I year of B. Tech. The Physics lab helps the student to gain practical knowledge, to develop scientific temper, to develop intellectual communication skills and to discuss the basic principles of scientific concepts in a group having hands on experience with the apparatus. The course evaluation is done through both internal and external examinations.

S. No	Name of the Lab	Area (m²)	No. of Experiments	Student Faculty ratio in a Lab Session	Related Topics	Outcomes
1	Engineering Physics Lab	127.8	8	20:1 (For CE & ME Students)	Optics Mechanical and Electrical Oscillations, Fiber Optics	Having gone through the course the student would be able to interpret correlate experimental understanding of various concepts related to theory
2	Applied Physics Lab	96.8	8	20:1 (for EEE, ECE, CSE and IT Students)	Semiconductor Physics, Fiber optics, Optoelectronics & Electromagnetism

English Communication Skills Lab

ELCS (English Language Communication Skills, B.Tech I Year) & AECS (Advanced English Communication Skills, B.Tech III Year) English enhances the employability of students. It enriches a high-degree of proficiency in English Language. It is the language of opportunities. It enables the students to expedite the process of improving learning skills, with more emphasis on LSRW (Learning, Speaking, Reading & Writing). These labs train the students in Language Skills, Soft Skills, Inter Personal Skills, Decision Making, Business Communication, Pre-Placement Training, Corporate Readiness, GRE etc. The main aim of ELCS / AECS labs is to improve Communication Skills in formal and informal situations. It is also to impart training to students through the syllabus in its theoretical aspects and practical components. In lab we have Advanced Remote Monitoring facility, which enables the teacher to moniter all the students through a master console. The lab is equipped with 34 Advanced Pentium Systems which also has high quality audio & video capabilities.
