About the Centre for Nanoscience and Technology
The Centre for Nanoscience and Technology (CNST) has offered postgraduate (M.Tech.) degree since 2009 and also offers Ph.D. Programme with Institution Research Fellowship – IRF (15000/- Per Month). The NST aims to provide a platform for young minds of students to understand the basic concepts of material properties at the nanoscale. M.Tech programme is accompanied by science, engineering, and technology to ensure real-time applications by exploring the fundamental structure of nanoscale-quantum phenomenon. This programme collectively deals with cutting-edge research and innovations in the multidisciplinary field, and focuses on ongoing thrust research activities. CNST continuously updates the innovation in science and technology for young researchers, scientists, innovators, entrepreneurs, and students. The CNST has state-of-the-art research facilities, namely AFM, nanoindentation, micro-Vickers hardness, spray pyrolysis, FTIR, UV, and PL spectroscopy, BET-surface area, XRF, Particle size analyzer, contact angle measurement, DC-sputtering. EIS spectroscopy, etc. CNST has a team of faculty, researchers, and students working together to bring innovation in interdisciplinary domain. Our management is keen to bring Centre for Nano Science and Technology (CNST) as a world-class research centre to take up challenging research work in the nano valley for the benefit of society. The department has academic and industrial collaboration with various national and international universities, research centres, and industries.
