Laboratories:
The Department of SSAC has four laboratories, one for PG students and three for UG practicals. All Laboratories are well furnished and well equipped.
Well equipped Central Instrumentation Center (CIC) for Ph.D. and Post Graduate students for research was established in the year 2001 under this Department. In the CIC, the microprocessor based instruments like Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, spectrophotometer, flame photometer; pH meter, EC meter etc. are kept for the PG student and university scientists research work.
