Research Facilitators
• Academic freedom – New Courses, Modified syllabi, new programs etc. can be
introduced with a small turn-around time.– Acclimatization - Light teaching load initially for new faculty
• Less pressure to generate research funds – different from foreign universities– funded PG assistantships – can focus energy on research
• Very generous Consultancy terms
• Substantial plough-back of overheads into RDF/DDF
• Encourage (Faculty) Entrepreneurship
• Encourage cross-disciplinary research – IDP groups
• CEPs to encourage industry interaction
• Seed funding – default max of Rs.10L for each new faculty• Travel funds for National / International Conferences• ‘Bridge funding’ – Dean (RM) + Dean (RD)
– Through Institute Strategy and Planning Committee (ISPC)• AICTE career awardees – Salary comp.
• Professional Society membership fee up to US$ 200 / per year
• Free corporate credit card facility
• IITB Research Fellowship
• IRCC Research Awards
• Research/Technology Exhibitions
Any request that enhances research will be considered!
