Established

The Centralized Instrumentation Facility (CIF) has been established by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India.

The purpose of establishing these centers is to provide data collection facility from analytical equipment to the scientific community for their advanced research with nominal charges. The facility has grown into a major Centre for spectral measurements, molecular and crystal structure determination and materials characterization.

Our state-of-the-art instruments serve researchers from multiple departments and external institutions, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and scientific advancement.
