School of Technology (SoT)
Technology is and will be the main driver for growth in this decade. The School of Technology (SOT) set up with the vision of being the leading centre of innovation and learning in the emerging areas of Knowledge society is now focusing on the emerging areas of technology and management incorporating digital transformation and circular economy in Industry 4.0 oriented curriculum as the engine for growth through innovation. In today’s digital age, careers across industries are going through a transformation. Emerging technologies like Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, are entering every emerging profession. Ensuring that its graduates are a part of these exciting careers SOT initiated the M Tech program in Data Science, Cybersecurity, Material Science & Engineering and Energy and Environment Management. SOT has seen phenomenal growth in the last nine years with the School today offering eight undergraduate & seventeen post graduate programmes and more than 120 Ph.D. scholars working in various disciplines for research degrees.
The curriculum at SOT is planned with the right mix of research and industry-relevant subjects taught predominantly through project-based learning. Flexibility to choose courses, academic weightage to co-curricular activities, continuous innovation in teaching-learning are some of the hallmarks of academics at SOT. Thus, the curriculum can be Individualised with one third of credits of the programme chosen by the student through open and professional electives to develop the path as per their inner voice and passion.
The School of Technology continued on its path of rapid expansion and growth in the trio of ‘teaching-research-consultancy’. Realizing that Water is and will be the main driver for growth and a challenge before the country, the School embarked on research on water to address the challenges of water scarcity, water contamination and impact of water quality on agricultural productivity with an innovative yet holistic approach leading to community welfare. These projects funded by BRNS, ISRO, India-H2O EU-India project under Horizon 2020, DST and CSIR would deploy innovative and affordable technologies and mitigative framework (including artificial intelligence, neural network and numerical modelling) for strengthening access to safe drinking water, setting up affordable water purification systems including industrial wastewater, reducing ground water contamination and augmenting water resources.
The journey in research during the year was very fruitful with 16 projects worth INR 9.92 crores sanctioned and 102 projects in the pipeline submitted for funding to multilateral, bilateral and government funding agencies.

School of Liberal Studies (SLS)
Our Universities and their Schools with their state of the art facilities and rich treasure of human resources of excellent erudition somehow prepare youth for filling in slots of jobs or enterprise in productive pursuits of earning and acquiring wealth. Unfortunately, one is neither properly tutored nor adequately trained to comprehend parameters of desired quality of life, mental health and happiness. One’s intellectual being has one dimensional growth. In other words, one is not a holistic personality. No thinker, philosopher or innovative genius can come out of this run of the mill education system that focuses only on producing specialists and professionals. A holistic personality is one that can understand ethos of entire spectrum of human endeavours and think innovatively about them. Such people are the torch bearers of enlightened leadership that conceives better world and better future in holistic sense.
The School of Liberal Studies launched in 2009 is rightly poised to take radical initiatives— initiatives that chart out how differently traditional discrete areas of learning could be integrated and even choice-based learning in higher education could be made learner-centric to provide seamless wholesome acquisition of knowledge and skills. In fact what is advocated in the NEP (New National Education Policy) was long back envisioned and implemented by the School with its transdisciplinary academic program and four year Under Graduate structure.
Inter disciplinary course structure at SLS focuses on holistic education that establishes the foundation for the integrated understanding through rich breadth of courses and then exposes the students to the in depth exploration of Majors. Through our dialogue with various stakeholders of Industry and government, we have been enthused with the positive acceptance from them. Industry has provided its inputs on course structure at various formal and informal platforms like – Interaction during Boards of Studies Meetings, Pre placement visits, Internships by students and International Round Tables at the University. While due care has been taken to accommodate industry concerns and requirements to make the program more employable, equal focus has been retained on the ‘learning for the sake of Learning’ and creating jobs rather than seeking jobs.
School of Liberal studies currently offers four year undergraduate programs in B.A. (Hons.), B.B.A.(Hons.), B.Com.(Hons.), & B.Sc.(Hons.), The Programmes cover interdisciplinary curriculum and focused exploration of specializations. The School also offers Master’s Program in various disciplines. The School also offers Ph.D. in the areas of Humanities, Arts Social Sciences and Commerce.
