RESEARCH FACILITIES

The chemical department’s teachers received research grants from the “National Research Program for Universities” (NRPU), which included creative faculty members of universities and DAIs who were awarded grants to enable them to conduct their research. NRPU is a flagship Research Program of HEC for funding research grants on competitive merit for high-quality and promising scientific research projects that demonstrate strategic relevance and cast impact to the local industry and society.

CATALYSIS & ENERGY RESEARCH LABORATORY

The Catalysis and Energy Research Laboratory is a postgraduate research lab funded by SNGPL and HEC that is inaugurated by Prof. Dr. Syed Mansoor Sarwar, Vice-Chancellor of UET, Lahore on September 27, 2022. There are many modern pieces of equipment in this research lab that assist students in conducting numerous experiments for their research work. 

COMPUTER LAB
