INFRASTRUCTURE
1. Physics Lab
It is spacious and can
accommodate 40 students at a
time. There are seven working

27. tables for students and each
table can accommodate six
individual experiments. Each
table is provided with 6
electrical plug points and

2. Chemistry Lab
In this age of knowledge, a
person who is indifferent to
science and lacks a scientific

casual attitude towards science
without a practical exposure is
like a person without soul.
Our laboratories are the
workshops that kindle scientific
temper. They help to strengthen
the foundation of basic
principles for the greater
pursuits of science awareness
ahead.
“An ounce of application is
worth a ton of theory“. Our
Chemistry lab acquaints
student with simple
experiments, usage of acids and

29. bases, preparation of chemicals
etc. It is the place of
transformation of
▪️
Complex to simple
▪️
Perception to conception

Illusion to enlightenment

Ambiguity to clarity
