Leave is granted and financial support is provided to participate in India and abroad. Teaching and non-teaching staff are encouraged to enhance their qualifications and pursue part-time PhD programs.

The institute has a well-defined and published research promotion policy. Faculty members are encouraged and financially supported for research ( Papers/ Patents/ Conferences etc.). Young faculty (age less than 40 Years) across the institute is encouraged to do research in multi-disciplinary and inter disciplinary areas. Young Faculty members are financially supported up to Rs. 1 Lac   by the Institute for their research under VC’s Fund for Minor Research Project. Paper publication and travel grants for national and international travels is given to the faculty and students.

SCE have been organizing International Conference yearly (ICEDET) in the campus where all research scholars across the institute demonstrate their research work and the papers presented are published in Scopus Indexed Proceedings.

SCE invites renowned experts from various domains from India and abroad (Online) to facilitate networking and establish collaborations for undertaking multi-disciplinary and inter- disciplinary research. Regular annual events are organized such as, International Conference on Emerging Developments in Engineering & Technology (ICEDET) is organized where Experts from different parts of world are invited to share their thoughts and research. 

The main objectives of these research divisions are to contribute to the society through their research. The research not only lead to publications but the research output definitely help the society. SCE is engaged in research for solutions.
