ABOUT THE CENTRE
Advanced Centre for Materials Science was created in 1978 with a view to make available major materials preparation and characterization facilities under one-roof. These state-of-the-art research facilities are regularly upgraded, and maintained by suitably trained competent staff. The centre has been serving the needs of the materials community from the institute as well as other academic and industrial establishments for about twenty five years. For every laboratory there is a users’ committee consisting of members drawn from various departments of the institute. For routine maintenance electronics and machine shops are there. Besides we also have support services of stores and administrative office.
We are determined in providing consultancy and testing services of global standard to the materials scientists.
The potential users from the IITK are requested to contact the help desk for registration so that they may book the desired slot for using various facilities on-line. Non IITK users from academic institutions and industries are advised to contact the respective laboratory convener or Head, ACMS.
