About

In order to create research facilities and upgrade promotional policies, a separate R & D Cell is functioning in Vivekanandha College of Engineering for Women. The R & D cell provides support and guidance to the faculty and students to actively participate in research and innovative activities that is relevant to industry as well as society.

Functions of R&D Cell

The R&D Cell encourages faculty and students to uplift their knowledge levels in writing research papers, filing patents, applying funded projects and improving skills in developing research methodologies.

Incentives are given to the faculty for publications/books/book chapters/patents/sanctioned projects/consultancy activities.

In order to promote research and development activities, the institute extends its full support to faculty. Full/Partial financial support is given to all innovative research & development works taken up by the faculty members. The institute encourages the faculty to participate in National/International Conferences, Seminars, Workshops, Training programmes, Tech-Festivals organized by reputed institutes (IITs/NITs/State Engg. Colleges) etc. by giving full/partial financial support viz. course/registration fee, TA/DA etc., as per the research incentive policy.

Research Recognition and Focus

The Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), Government of India, has recognized the institute as a "Scientific and Industrial Research Organization" (SIRO). The institute has been accorded with 12(B) and 2(f) status of the University Grants Commission (UGC) Act 1956.

These reorganizations have improved funding opportunities from the government and other organizations to carry out research and development that is significant and relevant to the national development.

Code of Ethics

Faculties, research scholars, students, and staffs of Vivekanandha College of Engineering for Women should strictly follow the following code of ethics while undertaking research activities.

In the research endeavours, highest standards of honesty and moral conduct should be maintained.

Before using the lab equipment, or other facilities, necessary permission should be obtained from the concerned department head. These facilities need to be handled carefully with necessary safety measures.

Before submitting the findings of research work for publication, authors should confirm the amount of plagiarism that is permissible, and if the paper is accepted for publication in a journal or conference proceedings, the same should be notified to RAC.

If the research scholars from other organizations used the institute facilities for their research, they should acknowledge the institute in their publication.

The Researchers must gather information on both human and animal subjects in accordance with the moral standards that govern their usage, and they must respect the laws protecting the personal information. Wherever necessary, approval from the college's ethical committee should be obtained.

Without the institution's approval, the researchers should not enter into any private agreements with other organizations.

Researchers working with potentially harmful substances should follow the necessary safety procedures to avoid endangering themselves or others, damaging nearby equipment, or destroying institutional property.

Principal investigators and Co-investigators of sponsored project are required to acquire the relevant approvals for the procurement of equipment and keep an inventory with appropriate labelling.

When doing collaborative research with one or more teams, the principal investigator should make sure that all participants are aware of and abide by the research policy.

The Institute will assist in resolving any disputes that may arise amongst research collaborators over the rights of the outcome.

Researchers should follow the internal IPR policy if their work produces a product or process that has the potential to be patented.

Seed Money Policy

Seed Money policy, sponsored by Vivekanandha College of Engineering for Women aims to promote research and innovation amongst young faculty. Seed funding under this scheme is to be used to initiate/continue the research work of the new faculty. The objective of this policy is to accelerate the possibility to receive the financial support from external agencies in future. The applicant must clearly and convincingly demonstrate that the proposed project represents a new research direction in an area likely to generate external funding. Research Project that is already supported by other sources will not be considered for funding. The project under seed money policy will be considered as Minor Project and relevant API score will be credited as per rule of VCEW.

Preference will be given to proposals that:

Have a high potential for external funding

Have significant scientific merit

Represent a new direction for the PI

Build or strengthen inter-disciplinary research partnerships

Applicant Eligibility & Formalities:

Applicant must be a full-time faculty of VCEW.

Principal Investigator (PI) must have Ph.D. degree.

If a proposal is turned down by the Seed Grant approval committee, the PI is allowed to submit a new proposal in the same year.

The seed money grant will be discontinued in the absence of PI for more than 30 days of unsanctioned leave and in such case PI will have to return the money. If the leave is taken due to unforeseen health condition then PI may get special permission to continue the same.
