Engineering Labortories
Some of the laboratories currently available at the Faculty are listed below. Students are encouraged to use these labs for their practical and project work.
 Electronics Engineering Lab
The Electronics Engineering Laboratory is well-equipped and well-stocked with modern digital and analog electronic instruments. The Lab supports the practical work for electronics and digital logic design. The students learn the use of electronic instruments in measuring the electrical characteristics of discrete and integrated solid-state electronic circuits, which they design and assemble. In logic design, the design and testing of various combinational and sequential circuits is carried out.
 Electrical Engineering Lab
This Lab is exclusively used for conducting practical work for students of electrical engineering. The Lab has all the resources which give insight into the field of electrical engineering. It also encourages students to develop a keen interest towards electrical engineering and to develop small projects based on their learning. The practical work for the subjects of basic electrical engineering and network analysis is being carried out in this laboratory.
 Computer Engineering Lab
The Computer Engineering Laboratory has a network of up-to-date computers, state-of-the-art CAD software, and FPGA development systems to give students hands-on hardware design experience. The lab supports design of digital circuits and the applications microprocessors.
 Data Communication & Networking Lab
UCP hosts a CISCO Regional Networking Academy where students are given both theoretical and hands on training up to the CCNA level. This Networking Academy has instructors trained from the Cisco Academy Training Center London, UK and the students, who complete the training, are issued an official certificate from Cisco System, USA which is recognized and accepted Worldwide.
 Telecommunication Engineering Lab
Telecommunication Engineering Lab has 10 workstations each equipped with analog & Radar Communication trainer, Electro optic trainer and Telecommunication trainer. Experiments relating to AM & FM Modulation, Demodulation, Digital Optical Communication and Data Communication can be performed. This laboratory is being further expanded.
 Electrical Machine Lab
This laboratory has facilities to perform experiments related to DC machines transformers and induction machines Synchronous machines will be added soon. The lab at present has six workstations. These will be increased to ten in the near future.
 Electrical Instrumentation and Measurement Lab
This laboratory was established in 2007. Initially 5 workstations with all the required equipment have been deployed. The number of workstations will be increased to 10 in the near future. The lab supports the courses related to analog and digital instruments, measurements techniques and errors.
 General Purpose Computer Labs
