Welcome to Department of Instrumentation , CUSAT
The Department of Instrumentation, originally the university science instrumentation centre ( USIC ) has its origin in 1978 as a service department with the support of the UGC. It has been extending instrumentation support to science and technology departments of the university.The center was elevated to a level lll USIC by UGC in 1990.With this the centre became a full –fledged academic department.
