General Facts about Labs

 Infrastructure and Maintenance

Department of Chemistry has four laboratories named as Chem. Lab-1, Chem. Lab-2, Chem.

Lab-3 & Chem. Lab-4 which are maintained by Mr. Lalit, Mr. Jagminder, Mr. Sanjay Vasisth

and Mr. Satish Kumar respectively for its cleanness and distribution of equipments to the

students. We have our own scanner cum printer and Wi-Fi system. The Department has its

separate store for Chemical and equipment maintained by Mr. Sanjay Kumar (store keeper) in

a proper way.

Purchasing Procedure

Any demand requirement or discrepancy raised by the Lab attendants is brought into the

notice of Principal. Application is written after which the order form is filled. Quotation

invited is signed by the departmental purchase committee and then the lowest priced items

quoted are purchased as per GST rules. All procedure is executed through college “Central

Purchase and Maintenance Committee of the college.

 General Utilization Procedure

Students are divided into groups for smooth running of practical classes in labs. The related

equipments and chemicals are issued to the students as per their schedule. Separate registers

for equipment are maintained by Lab attendants on daily basisand issued to different Labs

when needed. Models are prepared in our Lab by the students for participating in District and
