Research is an integral part of formal education. In today’s competitive global scenario, it is essential to inculcate research culture and habits amongst students and faculty. The faculty and students are encouraged to work on state of art research projects, carry out expert consultancy work, create wealth of knowledge by filing patents, create a multidisciplinary work environment, work with a professional and scientific approach, and have a healthy competition amongst peer groups to achieve excellence.
Apart from academics other activities like sports, cultural, extracurricular and social are equally important to boost their confidence, improve communication/presentation skill, build team spirit, inculcate sportsmanship, leadership quality and decision making ability. In tune with our Institute’s Vision and Mission our commitment is to develop human beings who are technologically superior having social concern.
