IPR, Legal & Ethical Matters Cell established to provide guidance to academic and non-academic staff, students, scholars, and outside agencies alike on the practices and rules of the University regarding IPR and related obligations (which include the nature of IP, its ownership, exploitation, technology-transfer, and confidentiality requirements). With the initiative to fulfil the commitment of the University towards promoting academic freedom and providing a conducive environment for research and development.
Message of Director
Â
As the Chairperson of the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Cell, it is my privilege to lead an initiative that is vital in safeguarding and nurturing creativity and innovation within our institution. The IPR Cell is dedicated to promoting awareness about the importance of intellectual property and guiding faculty, researchers, and students in protecting their inventions, research outcomes, and creative works. We are committed to fostering an environment that encourages innovation, supports patenting, and ensures that our community fully understands their rights and responsibilities in protecting their intellectual creations. Together, we aim to create a culture where ideas are valued, protected, and translated into impactful contributions to society. I encourage everyone to actively engage with the IPR Cell and utilize its resources to strengthen their work through proper intellectual property protection and management.

The main goals of IPR, Legal & Ethical Matters Cell :
to promote, spur and encourage creative activities in all the areas of academics and research in the university;
to protect all lawful interests of the stakeholders including the University, faculty, scholars, students and other members of the University and the society at large so as to resolve conflicts of opposing interests;
to lay down a transparent and fair administrative system for the ownership, control and assignment of IPRs and sharing of the revenues resulting from the properties so created and held by the University;
to develop a mechanism through which research results and technology developed in the course of research in the campus may be transferred to the outside world through channels of commerce and transfer of technology;
to lay down standards for determining the rights and obligations of the university, creator of IP and their sponsors in respect of inventions, discoveries and intellectual works created in the university;
to secure compliance with extant regulatory norms with regard to IP creation and protection goodwill;
to build and sustain goodwill of the university as an academic institution of the highest order and to confer the benefits of its scholarship and teaching on the creators and users; and
to provide a mechanism for preservation and use of IP and lay down procedures through which invention and discoveries made in the course of research are disseminated to the public through the channels of transfer of technology, and also to generate intellectual property for common use and benefit while generating funds to further strengthen research and academic activities.
Central Instrumentation Facility (CIF) is an Integral part of K.R Mangalam University. CIF is a modern lab equipped with advanced analytical instruments such as FTIR (Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectrometer), UV-VIS (Double beam UV-visible spectrometer), LCR meter, DSC/TGA/DTA etc. It provides vital support for research and educational activities, allowing users from different Institutes and Industries to access these sophisticated tools and ensures that the facility’s resources are available to a broad range of researchers and students. The CIF endeavors to foster scientific innovation and enhance the quality of research.
Objectives
Provide access to advanced scientific instruments and equipment for researchers and students in Basic Sciences, Medical & Allied Sciences & Multidisciplinary Sciences.
Facilitate high-quality research by offering technical assistance and training on the use of instruments.
Promote interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation by bringing together researchers from different fields.
TGA/DTA/DSC is a thermoanalytical technique which measures heat flow and
weight/mass change of a materials as a function of temperature or time
in a controlled environment. The technique can provide information about
thermal stability, Oxidative stability and decomposition kinematics of
materials. We can identify phase transitions, melting point, enthalpy,
composition etc. of a material by utilizing this instrument. The
technique have applications in understanding the behavior of a wide
variety of materials including polymers, inorganic/organic chemicals,
pharmaceutical drugs, composites and many more.
Working Principle
Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA)– The sample is heated in
N2environment at a constant rate and the change in the weight of the
substance is recorded as a function of temperature or time.
Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA)- The temperature
difference between the sample and the reference is measured at a
constant heat flow.
Differential Scanning Calorimetric (DSC)- The difference in
heat flow required between the Sample and the reference to keep the
temperature constant, is measured.

Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy is a powerful analytic technique
which is used to obtain Infrared spectrum of absorption or transmission
of a solid, liquid or a gas. The technique can provide information about
organic, polymeric, and, in some cases, inorganic materials. When
infrared radiation falls on a compound, molecular vibration generates
unique absorption patterns and hence different chemical compounds and
their composition can be identified. Due to its accuracy, versatility
and accuracy, this technique have applications in a variety of fields
including Chemical Science, Material Science, Pharmaceuticals,
Environmental Science and forensic Science etc.
Working Principle
The key component of an FTIR spectrometer is the interferometer.
It's used to modulate the infrared radiation, splitting it into two
beams. One beam passes through the sample, while the other doesn't.
The beams are then recombined, and the resulting interference
pattern is analyzed. The interference pattern contains information
about the absorption of infrared radiation by the sample at
different frequencies. A mathematical technique called Fourier
transform is used to convert this pattern into a spectrum, which
represents the intensity of absorption as a function of frequency.

A double beam UV-VIS spectrometer is a type of spectrophotometer used to
measure the absorption of ultraviolet (UV) and visible (VIS) light by a
sample. Double beam UV-VIS spectrometers offer high accuracy and
precision in absorption measurements, making them valuable tools in
various fields such as chemistry, biochemistry, environmental science,
and materials science.
Working Principle
The key feature of a double beam spectrometer is its optical setup,
which splits the incoming light beam into two paths: the sample beam
and the reference beam. The sample beam passes through the sample
being analyzed, while the reference beam passes through a reference
material (typically the solvent or a similar material without the
analyte).
After passing through the sample and reference cells, the light
beams are directed to a detector. The detector measures the
intensity of light transmitted through the sample and reference
cells at each selected wavelength.
