Qualitative Improvements related to Education and Research

• Learning beyond the classroom: The University provides funding support to technical festivals and professional chapter activities of the students so that they learn many new things on their own. The positive outcome of this initiative will be visible soon.
• Through TEQIP, we took a policy decision to support research-oriented projects of final year UG students. As a result, the number of UG research projects has significantly risen. Moreover, due to the excitement of doing research projects, some of these UG students have joined Masters’ programs and PhD programs.
• It is mandatory for every PhD student to publish at least one research paper in the reputed international journal having an impact factor of at least 1.0. This mandate has resulted in significant improvement in the quality of their research work. Moreover, it has brought in a change in the research culture in the university.
• Several workshops have been conducted on ‘Research Methodology’ for the benefit of PhD/MTech students and given them guidelines for doing good research work and writing good research papers. These workshops have paid rich dividends.
• Several of University faculty members are being invited by other institutes to deliver expert talks in their subject domains and also on topics like OBS, pedagogy, research methodology, etc.
• MoUs have been signed with reputed industries like BOSCH, GESKON (Norway), and Tata Technologies Ltd. for the conduct of training programmes for faculty and students.
