Utility of Students’ Research Projects
Student’s research projects are part of internal assessment.
Impact of the research training:
The impact of research is immediate with many students doing their independent research projects: our training will also help them when they do their research for post graduate
training and as part of faculty research
Conduct of research projects:
The research projects are supervised by the batch in charge: further supervision is by the assistant professors and above: these projects were part of two weeks i.e clinical ward
rotation before year 2020: however it was decided that students exposure with research projects should span over the entire length of the academic year: so concepts of IUGR
contact secession is introduced which spans over the entire academic year: students are assigned tasks for their projects and progress is monitored at every contact session.
