Policies and Guidelines

Formulating research-related policies and guidelines in any HEIs is of prime importance to create a conducive academic environment. These guidelines assure moral behavior, encourage honesty, and uphold standards in academic endeavors. Having clear policies helps with process simplification, resource allocation, and research outcome optimization. Moreover, they also support accountability, openness, and adherence to legal requirements. In a nutshell, policies uphold the University standing, draw in funds, and foster an innovative culture that propels both societal advancement and academic performance.

All these policies and guidelines have been unified in the form of a comprehensive ‘Research Manual’. They are as follows:
