For any technical education system the basic model of class room teaching is inadequate to ensure quality education. In all disciplines of technical education, knowledge is dynamic following frequent technological developments. In this scenario, it is not possible for academicians to deliver good quality instructions without being tuned to the current developments in the subjects. The globally accepted way for an academician is to be actively involved in the research works in their subject areas. A researcher needs to understand the past and recent developments in their subject areas. Many high ranking Universities / institutions in the world and India exhibit an effective correlation between quality teaching, research and development activities. MIT group of institutes (MGI) recognized the importance of research and development in the vertical growth of the institution and established the R & D cell to focus on the scientific and engineering research. The R & D cell is consisting of faculty members from various programs of the campus. The organizational structure consists of Internal Advisory Board, Chief Coordinator, Coordinator and Co-coordinators for facilitating the routine functioning of the cell.
The R & D cell aims to nurture research culture in the institute by promoting research in emerging and challenging areas of science and engineering. It motivates and encourages the Undergraduate and Post graduate scholars to undertake the research in emerging frontier areas of Science and Engineering including multidisciplinary fields. This also enhances the general research capability of faculty members through participation in conferences, seminars, workshops, research projects, publications etc. The cell also provides assistance in organizing seminars, workshops, conferences, STTP etc. in the campus.
To empower the faculty members and students in the area of Research & Development by managing technical support and seed funds for testing and validating their innovative research and product development ideas.
The major activities are as follows:

Prof. Raghunashi has published total of 45 research papers in international journals.
Dr. Santosh Vyas, Professor, Mechanical Engineering Department, published a research paper titled as “Simulation based study of Earth-Air heat Exchanger (Earth-Tube) Technology for cooling of Security Guard Cabin” in 7th International and 45th national Conference on Fluid Mechanics and Fluid Power (FMFP) at IIT Bombay, in December-2018. Prof. Vyas has published 10 research papers in national and international journal/cpnferences. He is also principal investigator in TEQIP-III research project.
Prof. Ibrahim Kanchwala, Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering Department, published a technical Paper on "Designing A Computerized Maintenance Management System for Fuel Dispensing Machines in Petroleum Industry" in Industrial Engineering Journal, ISSN: 2581-4915. He has also published a book on "Application of Total Productive Maintenance On Milling Center" under LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing Germany, ISBN: 978-613-9-45365-8.
Prof. Abhinay Nigam and Prof. Vedprakash Vishwakarma, Mechanical Engineering Department have published a review paper in Elsevier sponsored International conference on innovative advancement on Engineering and Technology ( IAET-2020) held at JNU, Jaipur titled as Quality Enhancement of Producer by Cooling and Conditioning: A Review.
Our Institute has received research grants for two projects under TEQIP-III CRS scheme in Mechanical Engineering and Computer science & Engineering. Both of these projects are progressing successfully. The project in mechanical engineering is based on Earth Air heat Exchanger cooling technology which is titled as “Simulation and Experimental based testing and development of Earth-Air Heat Exchanger (EAHE) for Summer Cooling in Malwa Region.” and conducted by Principal Investigator Dr. Santosh Vyas, along with Co-Principal Investigators Prof. Manish Soni and Prof. Mushtaq Patel.
This research work has objective to test and develop one of the passive building cooling techniques Earth-Air Heat Exchanger (EAHE) system and based on summer climatic conditions in Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh State of India. The building space for conducting this research work is security guard cabin of our institute. The proposed engineering investigation is expected to give a scientifically designed EAHE cooling system for climatic and geological condition of Malwa region of MP state of India.
A research paper titled as “Simulation based study of Earth-Air heat Exchanger (Earth-Tube) Technology for cooling of Security Guard Cabin” has also been published in 7th International and 45th national Conference on Fluid Mechanics and Fluid Power (FMFP) at IIT Bombay, in December-2018 authored by Principal Investigator.
The project in Computer Science and Engineering is oriented towards Mitigation of Vulnerabilities and Risk in Cloud Based and IOT Based Smart Cities and conducted by Principal Investigator Prof. Abhishek Raghuvanshi and Co-Principal Investigator Prof. Deepali Kelkar. The objectives of this project are to develop remedial action plan to mitigate vulnerabilities in cloud based and IOT based smart cities and to make a security model for cloud based and IoT based smart cities.
Research Papers titled as “Java and IoT (Internet of Things) : Automating the Industrial Economy” and “Role of SCADA & IoT in Industrial Automation” have been published in International Journal of Computer Applications and International Journal of Scientific Research and Development respectively authored by Principal Investigator.
