RESEARCH TOPICS

A scientifically inclined group of teachers is actively engaged in research at this institution. A dedicated research wing functions efficiently, fostering a culture of inquiry. Several motivated faculty members are pursuing PhDs from renowned universities, and this research enthusiasm is shared with students as well.

As part of the VII semester B.Sc. Nursing curriculum, students are required to undertake a research project. They are divided into five groups, each guided by a mentor and co- mentor. The students must select relevant and up-to-date research topics, which are then presented to the Institutional Scientific Committee for review. The committee carefully scrutinizes the topics, ensures adherence to guidelines, and approves the most suitable ones.
