The projects made by the engineering students in their final year lay the foundation of their careers as it depicts the level of practical knowledge acquired by them during their term of degree or diploma. The number of projects displayed by the students shows the support extended by the university to carry out research & development activities.
In the past years the University has filled more than 127 patents and copyrights for which it has been appreciated by the Indian Patent Office, Govt. of India as it ranked Parul University 7th in the list of Academic Institutes filing maximum number of patents in 2016.
”In the Academic year 2019-20, we will be filing even more patents and copyrights. We are looking forward to adding new teaching methodologies under the Faculty of Engineering which would stress even more on the practical relevance of the curriculum.
