Strategic Plan for Research (2014-2019)

Develop, maintain, and enhance research through research led teaching

Objectives Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
To recruit top class academic and research faculty to enhance the research in computer and information sciences Recruit at least one faculty each in every academic year with different diversity
Increase publications in peer-reviewed refereed ISI journals Increase the number of refereed publications by at least 5% per year between 2014 and 2019
Encourage the faculty members to submit research proposal to the University or external funding agencies Increase the College yearly research funding from our University and external funding sources by 10% between 2014 and 2019.
Establish center of research with the following disciplines

  • Cloud Computing
  • Data Mining
  • Mathematical Modeling
Recruit at least 2 world class faculty in each theme
Make service contract with top Universities / research institutions Sign at least 1 service contract every year
Encourage the faculty to become member in editorial boards in peer reviewed journals / review panels 10% increase in faculty collaborations every year
Encourage the faculty to become members in scientific bodies like IEEE / ACM etc., 20% increase in faculty collaborations every year
