Library
Apart from the institute's main library, our departmental library contains over two thousand books spanning a wide range of topics to supplement the needs of chemical engineers. Apart from this the library also houses PhD and MSc (Engg) dissertations and ME reports from the department.

Online catalogue is available (whoever has Chemeng email account can access the online catalogue through the shell prompt). Ms. B.G. Girija is the Library-in-charge and Prof. Sanjeev Kumar is the Faculty in-charge of the departmental library. Below is the classification system used in the departmental library and the respective positions of the corresponding literature.
