The Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology was established in January 2006 at the University campus to accomplish the goal of enhancing advanced research in the areas of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. The leading area of research includes nanomaterials, nanotechnology, composite materials, nanoelectronics and nanofabrication. In addition to research, the centre also conducts training and awareness programme, workshops, national and international conferences on recent trends and developments on various themes of national interests. The Centre is undertaking research and development projects from various national/international funding agencies. The MHRD, Government of India has funded for the establishment of Centre of Excellence for Energy Research under the scheme of Establishment of Centre of Excellence in the Frontier Areas of Science and Technology (FAST) at the Institute. The institute offers research fellowships and scholarship programmes to students and researchers to facilitate for innovations and advancements in higher education.

The centre has equipped with many core research facilities for coatings deposition including RF/DC magnetron sputtering, Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD), E-Beam Evaporation and Thermal Evaporation; and characterization facilities such as Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), High-resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Raman Spectroscopy, Glancing Angle X-Ray Diffraction (GIXRD), Linear Reciprocating Tribometer (LRT), Stylus Profilometer, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Hall effect, etc. Through these cutting-edge research facilities, we are developing innovative technologies for the industrial and social benefits.
