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!
