A)
Indian Institute of Technology Bombay continues to hold its position among the top-notch
Institutes and Universities of the country. Established about six decades ago with the
mandate of undergraduate education in engineering and technology, the Institute has
expanded its focus to research and development (R & D) in engineering, pure sciences, social
sciences, management and design. A variety of metrics point to the successful shift towards
R&D:nearly 55-60% of 10,000 students are pursuing a post-graduate academic program and
3000 PhD students are on roll. The R&D activities are driven by 625 full-time and 100 adjunct
and visiting faculty members. The number of academic units has increased to 26, some of
which are in inter-disciplinary areas; in addition, there are 6 research centres. Last year, IIT
Bombay published 1370 research articles in peer-reviewed journals, and this is not counting
conference publications. The total number of citations, in 2016, to IIT Bombay publications
was close to 37,500, IIT Bombay maintains a healthy interaction with Industry and last year,
out of the total extra-mural fund receipts (approximately Rs. 393 crores) nearly 18% is from
the industry.
High-end equipment and state-of-the-art laboratories are an integral part of research
infrastructure needed to support the research activities at the Institute. In the last 5 years,
Institute has spent nearly Rs. 160 crores to augment this infrastructure. A number of these
facilities are open to researchers outside of IIT Bombay; other facilities have restricted access.
This “Research Facilities” booklet is a compilation of the high-end equipment and contains
details of the equipment, its location and contact details. Itis hoped that this compilation will
be useful to researchers both within and outside of IIT Bombay and will serve as a quick
reference guide.

Information about the facility
Each research facility has a faculty member as the facility in-charge and is managed by a
facility management committee. This information, along with the location of the facility,
specifications of the equipment, instructions for sample preparation, contact details, etc.
are given in the facility web pages; URLis givenat the bottom of the page for each facility.
Internal users
Faculty, technical staff, post-doctoral fellows, research project staff and students of IIT
Bombay, and students who are doing internship at IIT Bombay have to use the DRONA
interface to access Central Facilities and contact the concerned faculty in-charge to access
National and Department Facilities. Details of usage charges, mode of payment are
available on DRONA.
External users
Users from other academic entities, industry, national research laboratories, etc. have to
contact the respective facility in-charge. Contact details are given at the bottom of the page
for each facility.
Facility usage charges vary for different facilities. These are indicated in the respective web
pages. Note that statutory levies suchas service tax are applicable at prevailing rates.
Users may opt for one of the following two services:
(i) Only data acquisition
(ii) Data acquisition + analysis / interpretation
Charges for both these options are given in respective web pages.
Payments may be made through the payment gateway (preferred) or demand draft.
Acknowledgement of payment will be given along with data / analysis report.TABLE OF CONTENTS
