Library

The mission of the Central Library is to facilitate the creation of new knowledge by acquiring, organizing, and disseminating scholarly resources, and by providing value-added services to support teaching, learning, and research.

The library maintains a rich collection of books, journals, and non-book materials spanning disciplines such as Science, Engineering, Technology, Humanities, Social Sciences, and Management. It houses specialized collections including Reference Books, IRC and BIS Standards, previous years’ question papers, CD-ROMs, DVDs, and periodicals.

Currently, the library holds approximately 28,500 printed volumes across 12,184 titles, along with a digital collection of over 7,200 e-books. This diverse resource base supports academic and research needs across multiple disciplines.

Library Advisory Committee (LAC)  is constituted for effective functioning of the College Central library.

Books in the library are classified and organized using the Dewey Decimal Classification system ((DDC – 22) , enabling members to locate resources quickly and efficiently. In addition to the Central Library, each academic department maintains its own departmental library , all of which are automated using the KOHA Integrated Library Management System (ILMS) .The Central Library is fully computerized with KOHA ILMS on cloud, and its circulation system operates on a barcode-based lending process , ensuring smooth and accurate management of resources.
