To create an effective work-space for students by supplementing the curriculum by various components and problem-based learning with dedicated faculty offering diverse areas and inter-disciplinary expertise in conjunction with reputed industry and academia.

Research plays a significant role in the process of conceptual thinking, learning and innovation.

Since its inception, the Institutions have been striving to achieve excellence in education and research in consonance with the contemporary and future needs of India through meaningful education, original research and leadership in technological innovation for the industrial growth of the Country.

With the path-breaking innovations in both its curriculum & research, the Institution is rapidly gaining a legendary reputation globally. Research and Innovation Clusters provide technology and innovation support whereas Incubation helps the students to develop practical business models as startups or spin offs to become student entrepreneurs for working towards Government of India policy of “Make in India”.

Taking the culture of research and innovation forward, team of Manav Rachna Innovation and Incubation Centre started working since 2011 to establish innovation labs in the area of Mechanical and Electronics.

After preparing policies, strategizing the systematic approach to research innovation, and testing a pilot run of the Centre was officially inaugurated on January 01, 2014.

We live in a knowledge-driven economy, where Research and Development has become the key to sustainable economic growth, creating in the process, a competitive edge.

Across its 20-year journey with many a milestones to its credit, Manav Rachna has taken on the challenge of yielding applicable knowledge and dedicating itself towards several path breaking Research and Development initiatives. More recently, the Institution has created a ‘Research and Innovation’ culture at the Undergraduate level through Innovation & Incubation at MRIIC.

By introducing ‘Research Integrated Programmes’, the Institution launched a first-of-its-kind Business Incubator at Manav Rachna Research, Innovation & Incubation Centre (MRIIC) -a whole new concept aimed to take the Institution to the next level and catapult it to the top leagues of innovation-driven institutions in the country.

The Institution collaborated with Accendere, a Career Launcher Educate group entity to enable even undergraduate students to participate in research and innovation for producing research publications in high impact factor journals listed in Scopus, Web of Science, Science Citations Index (SCI) Expanded, EBSCO and Social Sciences, along with patent filings and start-ups with constant mentoring from the science, engineering and management communicators. All undergraduate students are given access to research enhancer tools viz. Research Index, Deepdyve platform etc.

Students have been involved in scientific research in the recent years in the form of case studies, reviewing current research topics, experiments, real time implications etc. Their domain target ranges from communication to construction, control system to immune system, aeronautics to aerodynamics thereby portraying their extreme skills and interest. This kind of research involvement provides students hands on experience and knowledge in addition to their regular course work.

Manav Rachna is also one of the Academic Partners for the event Techronics 2017, which was held on 8th December 2017 at India habitat Centre, New Delhi.

MREI has joined hands with India Electronics & Semiconductor Association (IESA) with the vision of strengthening Electronics System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) ecosystem in India. Manav Rachna is now a proud member of IESA and both the organisations are looking forward to work with each other.
