Research & Development Cell
Priyadarshini College of Engineering & Technology, Nellore has promoted meaningful scientific industrial Research and Development activities with objectives and functions to pursue and promote Research in Frontier Technologies as well as in the various disciplines of Engineering and Management Studies.
For any education, specifically technical education, the basic model of a 'teaching-only' Institution is inadequate to ensure quality education. In all disciplines of technical education, knowledge is dynamic with new technologies being introduced very frequently. In this scenario, it is not possible for the teachers to deliver good quality instructions without being tuned to the current developments in the subjects, for which they must constantly update their knowledge.
A well-recognized way to deal with this paradigm is for the teachers to be active researchers in the areas in which they interested. As researchers, they need to understand the past and recent developments in their subject areas.
Research and Development Cell was established at Priyadarshini College of Engineering & Technology to inculcate research and innovative skills among faculty and students.
