Departments that are housed in the campus are Chemistry, Computer & Information Science, Electronic Science, Physics, Physiology, Psychology, Applied Mathematics, Applied Physics, Applied Psychology, Biomedical Instrumentation(JAP-BMI), Bio Physics, Molecular Biology & Bioinformatics

Faculty of Engineering & Technology

The faculty consists of courses leading to a three-year (six semesters)[Now it is becoming a 4 years 8 semesters course of 10+2+4 through wbjee from 2015] B.Tech. which is offered to students already having a B.
