The institutional ecosystem is helping to nurture innovative and creative ideas by developing research-oriented skills. In context of this, College has framed ‘Academic Research Committee (ARC)’ and maintained a research ambiance through advanced facilities. ARC looks after the requirements in terms of infrastructural facilities and resources. Innovation, Incubation, and Start-up Cell is helping researchers to nurture their ideas into technology. Exhibitions on innovations are also organized. A Central Instrumentation Facility (CIF) with sophisticated instruments is established for the benefit of research activities of in-house and other students. Library resources such as journals, references, INFLIBNET, DELNET, SCI-FINDER databases help update the recent developments in research fields. This research ambiance has resulted in the significant number of publications in peer-reviewed journals of repute and patents.
