Core Research Group (CRG)
CRG- A Novel Initiatives

The Core Research Group is a unique initiative of AISECT University to foster research culture in the University. Research work demands a large number of resources in terms of money, time and infrastructure with attached uncertainly of results and longer time scale for success. Private Universities have to mostly depend on own resources and that is the reason that, in private universities, not many research activities are seen. But AISECT University is a lot different. Research is a core area here. To underline the concern the Core Research Group has been set up. With initial funding of One Crore basic research facilities were set up in AISECT University. The CRG has been further given a seed budget of Rs. One Crore annually starting from 2017 with the following objectives: -

• Extend financial and administrative support for travelling and presenting papers abroad.
• Build up Research Facilities and Research Culture.
• Identify meaningful Research Projects and provide funds.

• Function as the Nodal point for Research Activity other than doctoral research.
