Central Research Instrumentation Facility
The CRF caters to the needs of researchers within the Institute as well as outside; both academic and industrial users enjoy the benefits of the sophisticated facilities housed here. Such a facility represents a key commitment for preserving and raising the efficiency of research to the international standards. While a number of tools are housed in our campus. We feel proud to offer these services to everyone through a complete online booking system with minimal human interventions.
