| CENTRE FOR EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH |
 Centre for Educational Research has been set up to bring all activities related to educational research under its ambit.The Centre publishes books and research reports from time to time. Conferences, workshops and seminars are also organized under the CER. The Research work at CER is done at three levels a) Research studies leading to Masters and Ph.D. Degrees b) Sponsored research projects and c) Institutional research projects. The CER also promotes action research at the hands of practitioners of education located at different places by encouraging them to work on their projects without dislocation.

The valuable feedback received from these wings helps in improving upon the existing theory and practice of education.
