Research Promotion Policy of the University
Research promotion policy of the university aims to sustain excellence and leadership in research and innovation. Faculty, students, and grooming researchers need to be encouraged to break new ground in research and achieve a first-of-a-kind impact in technological applications/designs/formulation of new public policies/institutional capabilities. Students will be encouraged to learn about the world through hands-on practical problem-solving projects in collaboration with fellow students in other departments and with our faculty as supervisors/mentors. Faculty and students shall be encouraged to involve in interdisciplinary/multi-disciplinary/translational research in finding scientific and technological solutions to ground challenges. The university desires to build a strong and robust research and innovation ecosystem through the following objectives:
- To nurture an environment of undertaking socially useful or industry-needed research with potential for commercialization.
- To establish research centers within the university with potential for excellence.
- To forge interdisciplinary collaborations and partnerships nationally and globally.
- To motivate faculty members for the publication of quality research work with ethics and integrity.
The DBATU Forum of Innovation, Incubation and Enterprise (FIIE) was incorporated as a Section 8 company on 4th November 2019. The Corporate Identity Number (CIN) of the company is U85300MH2019NPL332513. It provides an ecosystem to enterprising students and immediate alumni of the university, its affiliated colleges, and other emerging technology-based businesses that would support their start-up phase and increase their likelihood of success.
It provides working space, flexible lease, common office and laboratory facilities, business guidance, mentoring, and other technical resources in a network mode at the main centre of the university. The Incubation Centre can host approximately six to ten clients in a proposed 5,000 square feet facility that includes a mix of office and lab space with necessary infrastructure for prototype building and legal support. The facility is owned by the university and the State of Maharashtra. A grant of ₹5 Crore has been sanctioned by the Government of Maharashtra for a duration of five years, out of which the company received the first installment of ₹25 Lakh. Based on performance in 2020–21, the second installment of ₹50 Lakh against the sanctioned amount is to be released soon.
Research Culture & Ph.D. Evaluation
A short statement on the university's support for research and the thesis evaluation framework.
Our university always encourages faculty members to initiate research projects and actively motivates young faculty to pursue scholarly work by providing them with academic freedom, seed-funding opportunities, and mentoring support. Faculty are encouraged to collaborate across departments and with industry partners to translate research into societal impact. The institutional environment emphasizes hands-on problem solving, publication ethics, and dissemination of outcomes through conferences and peer-reviewed journals.
The Ph.D. thesis evaluation system follows rigorous standards and is implemented in accordance with the Agrawal Committee recommendations — ensuring transparent external review, unbiased evaluation, and robust mechanisms for viva voce and final certification.
