- To encourage faculty members to obtain research-level qualifications.
- To encourage faculty members to present papers and publish research articles.
- To foster research inquisitiveness in students.
- To prioritize the introduction of PG courses and research courses.
- To assist faculty members in preparing documents and submitting research proposals to funding agencies.
- To ensure that sufficient experimental manuals and reference books are made available in the Department Libraries.
- To monitor the process of selection of research scholars via written tests and interviews.
- To serve as the interface between the academic units, and the Principal and Management for planning thrust areas and future direction in research areas.

The committee will be empowered with identification of thrust areas and finalization of MOUs and other formal arrangements of co-operation between the institution and the business world.

Also, the Board agreed that the fruits of the consultancy activity need to be shared with all the individuals involved in this exercise.

PLAGIARISM AND CHEATING

While the academic fraternity the world over unanimously agree on free sharing and exchange of knowledge, data, information, views, ideas and opinions, they are simultaneously highly critical of any act of plagiarism and cheating.

Cases of plagiarism are the use of material, ideas, figures, code or data without appropriate acknowledgment or permission (in some cases) of the original source. This may involve submission of material, verbatim or paraphrased, that is authored by another person or published earlier by oneself. Examples of plagiarism include: (a) Reproducing, in whole or part, text/sentences from a report, book, thesis, publication or the internet. (b) Reproducing one’s own previously published data, illustrations, figures, images, or someone else’s data, etc. (c) Taking material from class-notes or downloading material from Internet sites, and incorporating it in one’s class reports, presentations, manuscripts or thesis without citing the original source. (d) Self plagiarism which constitutes copying verbatim from one’s own earlier published work in a journal or conference proceedings without appropriate citations.

Cheating is another form of unacceptable academic behavior and may be classified into different categories: (a) Copying during exams, and copying of homework assignments, term papers or manuscripts. (b) Allowing or facilitating copying, or writing a report or exam for someone else. (c) Using unauthorized material, copying, collaborating when not authorized, and purchasing or borrowing papers or material from various sources (d) Fabricating (making up) or falsifying (manipulating) data and reporting them in thesis and publications.

The following guidelines for academic conduct must be observed by all concerned.

1. 1. Use proper methodology for experiments/computational work. Accurately describe, compile data.
  2. Carefully record and save primary and secondary data such as original pictures, instrument data readouts, laboratory notebooks, and computer folders. There should be minimal digital manipulation of images/photos; the original version should be saved for later scrutiny, if required, and the changes made should be clearly described.
  3. Ensure robust reproducibility and statistical analysis of experiments and simulations. It is important to be truthful about the data and not to omit some data points to make an impressive figure (commonly known as “cherry picking”).
  4. Lab notebooks must be well maintained in bound notebooks with printed page numbers to enable checking later during publications or patent. Date should be indicated on each page.
  5. Write clearly in your own words. It is necessary to resist the temptation to “copy and paste” from the Internet or other sources for class assignments, manuscripts and thesis.
  6. Give due credit to previous reports, methods, computer programs, etc. with appropriate citations. Material taken from your own published work should also be cited; as mentioned above, it will be considered self-plagiarism otherwise.

MECHANISM FOR DETECTION OF PLAGIARISM

All articles / manuscripts / theses of M.Phil / Ph.D should be submitted to the CRD (Centre for Research and Development) of the college, for the verification of Plagiarism using Plagiarism Checker X Pro version software. If the report generated by the software gives a score of less than 20%, it will be approved for submission to University / Publication. If it is more than 20%, the research scholar will be asked to resubmit the same, until the score reaches a level lesser than 20%.
