INFRA-STRUCTURE AND LEARNING RESOURCES

            The entire university set-up is spread-over two campuses, which are about 4 kms away from each other. Expansion of activities in the old campus of the university since its establishment, necessitated the creation of new campus which is more spacious with a potential for further expansion. Faculties of Science and Commerce are located in old campus while faculties of Social Sciences and Humanities, Law and Management Studies were shifted to new campus. Besides, university administrative building with Vice-Chancellor’s Secretariat, several departments of applied Sciences such as Computer Education, Pharmacy, Biotechnology, Environmental Science and Polymer Science are now situated in the new campus. As a part of master plan, the university proposes to shift more departments to new campus in a phased manner.

            The university can boast of having a very strong physical infra-structure in terms of its faculty buildings, sports complexes, hostels, auditoria, gymnasia, play grounds, in-door stadium and guest house. Buildings are well maintained and there has been regular addition of new buildings to cater to the ever-increasing needs of different departments and faculties in line with their academic growth. Good roads, gardens, illuminated campuses, class-rooms, laboratories and other amenities, well maintained hostel buildings, make this university a proud place for study.
