There are five labs available in the ceramic department.
Shaping Lab
Drying and Firing Lab
Glass Lab
Pottery and Grinding Lab
Computer Lab
The shaping process is a crucial stage in ceramic manufacturing because it gives the ceramic material its required form, size, and structural integrity before drying and firing.
Shaping processes available in ceramic industries are casting, pressing, extrusion, jiggering & jolleying etc.
The drying and firing processes are critical stages in ceramic manufacturing because they transform a shaped (green) body into a strong, durable, and usable ceramic product.
Drying prepares the ceramic body by safely removing moisture, while firing permanently strengthens and stabilizes the product.
The glass laboratory helps diploma students gain practical knowledge, technical skills, and industry exposure, making them more competent and confident professionals.
There are various types of glass industries in the Gujarat region. So awareness of glass is very essential for job placement in glass industries.
Grinding ensures fine, uniform, and workable raw materials, while pottery converts these materials into useful and artistic ceramic products. Both processes are vital for producing high-quality ceramics.
Computer knowledge makes diploma ceramic students technically competent, efficient, and industry-ready, enabling them to meet modern industrial requirements.
