College Research Cell

In 2018, the FISAT College Research Cell was established as an Interdisciplinary Research Cell, and in 2021, it was renamed College Research Cell. CRC is committed to encouraging high-quality research among teachers and researchers. The Cell intends to provide sufficient infrastructure and other support for collaborative product development and research.

One of the cell’s primary functions is to supervise research at APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University and other universities, ensuring that researchers carry out their work in accordance with their research proposals, that the study is completed on time and within budget, and that the work is done ethically.
