Research & Development Cell

The R & D Cell was established to promote and monitor the development in research ativities of the college. RD Cell motivates the students in research activies, by providing the required suggesstions and training. The R & D cell aims to nurture research culture in the Institute by promoting research in newly emerging and challenging areas of engineering technology and sciences. A special assistance is given to feculty member for writing research proposals if necessary. It encourages the students and faculties to undertake the research in newly emerging frontier areas of engineering, technology, science and humanities including multidisciplinary fields. This enhances the general research capability of budding technocrats by way of participating in conferences, seminars, workshops, project competition. etc.
