The Actual Practice:
Majority of the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes have compulsory student

projects. The Student projects consist of dissertation, presentation and viva. Grades are
awarded to the student projects based on the work and presentation. These projects give the

flexibility to focus on areas of specific interest in a particular field and enhance their

employability. Students are provided provisions to carry out in-house and research funded
projects under the guidance of the faculty. Students are motivated to take up projects/

internships with reputed research 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 researchers to start their research career with minor research
projects right at their 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 54 research groups were scrutinized and 18 were
selected. The groups have completed their research work and the thesis writing. They are

working towards publishing their research work. In the academic year 2019-20, A total of 29
