organizations like IIA, IISc, NAL, FSLs, WIPRO, AMUL, BLUE STAR, RAMDEV SNACKS and the like.

Besides, students are provided with opportunities to enhance research skills. Students are

encouraged to take up research projects with various cells of the respective schools like
Aavishkar/ Vidhyanidhi / Shodha which is a novel venture initiated to encourage budding

undergraduate level. The cell motivates the students to form a team of 3 researchers and submit
research proposals at the beginning of every year under the guidance of a research supervisor.

The proposals are carefully scrutinized by a panel that sit through the presentations and selects
worthy groups. During the previous academic year 2020-21, In spite of the pandemic, a total of
