The college has a total of 8 science labs, 4 each for UG and +2 students.

• The chemistry labs are well-equipped with all the necessary equipment and chemicals for conducting experiments in different branches of chemistry, such as organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and analytical chemistry.
• The zoology labs have a variety of specimens, including preserved animals, insects, and plants, which students can use to learn about different animal and plant groups.
• The physics labs are equipped with instruments for conducting experiments in different branches of physics, such as mechanics, electromagnetism, and optics.
• The botany labs have a collection of plants, as well as equipment for studying plant anatomy and physiology.

The labs are supervised by qualified lab technicians who help the students with their experiments. The labs are also used by the college faculty for research purposes.

In addition to the science labs, the college also has a computer lab, a language lab, and an art lab. The computer lab is equipped with computers for students to use for their studies and research. The language lab has audio and video equipment for students to learn foreign languages. The art lab has supplies for students to use for their art projects.

The labs play an important role in the education of students at V.N(Auto) College Jajpur Road. They provide students with the opportunity to learn about different subjects through practical experiments. The labs also help students develop their problem-solving and analytical skills.

Here are some specific examples of how the labs are used in the classroom:

• In the chemistry lab, students might conduct experiments to learn about the properties of different chemicals.
• In the zoology lab, students might dissect animals to learn about their anatomy.
• In the physics lab, students might use instruments to measure the speed of light.
• In the botany lab, students might grow plants to learn about their growth patterns.

The labs are also used by students for their own research projects. For example, a student might conduct a research project on the effects of pollution on plant growth. The lab technicians would help the student with the design of the experiment and the collection of data.

The labs are an essential part of the educational experience at V.N (Auto) College Jaipur Road. They provide students with the opportunity to learn and apply the concepts they are taught in the classroom. The labs also help students develop their problem-solving and analytical skills, which are essential for success in college and beyond.
