University Research Policy: To promote Cutting Edge Research activities, to support Basic to Applied Research and to be Patent-Centric, VSU has a well-defined “Research Promotion Policy”.
-
Faculty Research Grants Scheme (FRGS) to support faculty towards quality research
-
To establish industrial collaborations, interdisciplinary research, inter and intra collaborative activities along with student exchange Programmes
-
To organize research driven seminars, conferences, workshops and webinars with financial support
-
To disseminate innovative ideas on a common platform, “Research Forum”
-
Encourage faculty to mobilize funding via Government funding agencies such as DBT, DST, BRNS, NMPB, ICSSR, and CSIR through submission of research proposals
-
Training/orientation programmes have been organized to P.G. Students qualify in the National level examinations like CSIR-JRF, INSPIRE-JRF, UGC-JRF, MANF, NFSC/ST, ICMR-JRF, ICAR-JRF.
