Read and understand the theory behind the experiment in advance.
Come to the lab in time with prescribed Dress Code for the lab and bring the laboratory manual.
The variables in the experiment might be given differently for different batches and hence it is expected that the students should complete all aspects of experiment before leaving the lab. The record of the experiment written precisely in the laboratory record should be submitted in the subsequent class which will be evaluated by the faculty on the same day and returned to the students. Students who have not submitted their records and those who come late to the lab class will lose their attendance. The students are expected to adhere to the safety precautions prescribed for the lab. In case of any breakage of equipment due to carelessness of the students, the students concerned will be fined.

All the experiments in the laboratories are updated and obsolete ones are removed regularly. The students are expected to keep pace with the technological developments and equip themselves with the latest in the field. Each student is expected to learn the experiments and train himself / herself to do the experiment individually during examination.
