The University has also a number of study centres in specialised areas. Some of these centres have taught programmes (Certificate/Diploma/Masters/MPhil) and some offer PhD programmes also. These are very often attached to one of the teaching Depts and share Dept facilities, though some have independent buildings and infrastructure.
There are a number of other important institutions under the University, which are not regular teaching departments, but render academic/technological/information/support services to the academic community at large and the Depts/Centres in particular. Some of them like Lexicon are mission oriented Departments.
