[en] ⁵⁴Mn (Z=25,N=29) is an odd-odd nucleus with proton and neutron numbers around the magic gap 28. It has 3 proton holes and 1 neutron particle (3h-1p) configuration with respect to the ⁵⁶Ni magic core. The unpaired proton lies in the 1f_7/2 where as unpaired neutron lies in the 2p_3/2 orbitals, which are situated just below and above the shell closures at Z, N = 28. The study of the odd-odd nuclei can help to understand the residual interaction between proton and neutron. It is interesting to revisit the excited states in ⁵⁴Mn to understand its higher spin states. The complexity in their structure may come due to the different coupling possibility between the two unpaired nucleons. It is worth mentioning that there are efforts to employ this isotope (⁵⁴Mn) as a cosmic ray chronometer. The analysis of the INGA data obtained from 36 MeV α-beam hitting a SS frame reveals new results on the excited states in ⁵⁴Mn. Further analysis is in progress to establish a new level scheme of this nucleus
