Policy for Promotion of Research
The full-time Ph.D scholars are admitted through the examination and interview. Adequate Fellowships are granted by the Management every year for the Full-time research scholars.
The faculty members are provided with incentives based on the publications in peer reviewed indexed journals.
Seed Grant is provided by VISTAS for both faculty and students who wish to initiate research.
The permanent faculty of VISTAS, who wish to upgrade their educational qualification with Ph.D are eligible to receive 50% waive on the total tuition fee.
The research supervisors are provided with incentives for guiding the research scholars towards the award of Ph.D degree.
E - journals are published by various Schools / Departments of VISTAS which help to disseminate the research outcomes of their respective departments more rapidly.
The Ph.D and M.Phil scholars are insisted to publish their research findings in SCOPUS/SCI/SSCI/WoS indexed journals before the submission of thesis.
Only after checking for plagiarism through Turnitin software, research papers will be allowed either for publication in Journals or presentation in Conferences.
Research colloquium is periodically held at every department. Domain experts are invited to deliver special lecture, thus sensitizing the faculty and research scholars in the emerging areas of research.
Departments are assisted in holding International Conferences periodically.
Research laboratories are supported in specific disciplines with a prime objective to enhance research.
Centre for Advanced Research and Development (CARD) encourages and streamlines the research activities.
Faculty and students are encouraged to convert their innovative ideas into beneficial products through the Industries present in On-Campus Incubation Centre.
Patent cell helps the faculty for filing the patents. Expenses towards filing the patents are born by the Management.
Faculty are guided to prepare research project proposals to Government funding agencies. 40% of the income realized thorough consultancy projects is credited to the concerned faculty.
