The Central Library, which is the heart of the Institute, was established in 2012. It serves as a creative and innovative partner in supporting the Institute's teaching, learning, and research activities. The Library holds the knowledge resources predominantly related to Science and Technology, Humanities, Management & other allied subjects. The Library is computerized with an integrated system connected to the Campus Network, providing an e-resources facility to the institutional community. The entire Library collections, including the online databases, are made available through Institute's network. The users can also search Library collections through Web OPAC. It has a collection of around 15,000 + text and reference books. In addition to this, book bank facilities are available for the SC/ST category of students. The Library is a regular subscriber of full-text databases such as ScienceDirect, Springer-Link, ACM Digital Library IEL (GP), ASCE, ASME, and one e-bibliographic database, i.e., MathSciNet. The Library also has around 5977 e-books on famous publishers such as Pearson, Wiley, Elsevier, and Springer Nature to cater to the students' growing information needs.
