The Department of Materials Science was established in 1990 as an Institution providing Interdisciplinary post-graduate course in Materials Science and Technology and to foster Research and Development of High Performance Materials. Though, small and young, the Department has achieved an excellent research progress record. This is reflected from the number of Frontier Area Research Projects it has bagged in the last thirteen years. Within a short span of its inception, University Grants Commission, India, recognized the Department as Department for Special Research Assistance. The Department makes Fruitful collaboration between academic staff of the Department and other Science and Technology Departments of this University as well as of other Universities, and with many industrial and government organizations in India and abroad. The financial assistance for research in India is being received from various agencies like Department of Science and Technology (DST), Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) , and University Grant Commission (UGC), etc. The Department has already successfully completed many sponsored research projects. The International Collaboration is promoted through visits of faculty members abroad as well as by visits of number of overseas faculty and scientists. Collaborative Research projects are sponsored by International agencies like National Science Foundation (USA), Indo French Center for Promotion of Advanced Research (IFCPAR), International Collaboration Research Cell of Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan etc.
