Research Funding
The most important components of any research project are idea and execution. Successful execution of the research project depends not only on the effort of the researcher but also on available infrastructure and expenses on the man and material. So research funding is required to meet these expenses and smooth execution of research projects. SIT is one of the leading institutes to have research funding. Total grant received is more than 3 crores in the last 4 years.
