At Fabtech Technical Campus College of Engineering & Research, Research & Development is the cornerstone of academic excellence, innovation, and societal progress. As Dean – R&D, my vision is to foster a vibrant research ecosystem that nurtures curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving among students and faculty.

We are committed to promoting quality research through publications in reputed journals (Scopus/Web of Science), patent filing, funded research projects, and strong industry–academia collaboration. Our focus extends from sensitizing freshers towards research to mentoring advanced scholars and faculty in interdisciplinary and industry-relevant domains.

FTCCOER encourages innovation, entrepreneurship, and consultancy activities that address real-world challenges and contribute to national development. Continuous capacity-building programs, workshops, FDPs, and research-driven student projects form the backbone of our R&D initiatives.

I invite students, faculty members, researchers, and industry partners to actively engage with the R&D Cell and contribute to a culture of excellence, integrity, and innovation. Together, let us transform ideas into impactful outcomes and make FTCCOER a recognized hub of research, innovation, and societal contribution.
