creation of highly specialized laboratories / facilities?

The University-Industry interactions have resulted in boosting cross-functional

approach in developing students skill as all the PG programs are inter-disciplinary in

nature. Many of the students are placed in various research organisation/lab, institutes

and industries. Many of the students are able to pursue research in emerging discipline

due to frequent interaction between industry and University. Some specific outcome in

• PG Department of APAB department has a specialized research centre on

Advanced Research Lab for research in Nano-science and Nano-technology &

Advanced Computational Physics Lab to address the special challenges of

research programme

• Many of the departments are recognized for research activity and collaboration

work by DRDO like Department of APAB, I&CT, Environmental Science and

Business Management. One of the research outcome of ICT department through

CARS project is development of a software tool (MAKE Tool 0.3).Another

outcome by APAB department is development of 6-DOF Model for 76MM Naval

Gun Projectile in Aid of Range Enhancement

• Department of Environmental science has tried to address many industrial issues

like production of bio-diesel from Jatropha economically and Utilization of fly ash

and secondary sludge for agricultural and plantation work and reclamation of
