R&D Projects
NU’s Research and Development (R&D) Projects is a core course for all undergraduate students in their sixth semester. The aim of this well-thought-out programme is to train students to perform research as co-investigators in faculty research and to familiarise themselves with the activities and methodologies generally followed during the research process.
NU faculty share research areas, from which students can choose a subject of interest. Over the course of a semester, students survey literature related to the subject, identify research gaps and challenges, and narrow down the specific gap/challenge they want to pursue. Subsequently, the students design and implement a complete solution in consultation with their faculty mentor. They present and demonstrate their solutions during the final evaluation.
Advanced R&D Project is offered as an open elective in the seventh semester to the students with aptitude and carries the same credits as other open electives. Students who show promise in their sixth semester R&D project are given the opportunity to extend their research in the Advanced R&D Project under the same faculty mentor.
Advance research may involve the application of the same technique to different problems; fine tuning/improving the technique to get a higher precision/accuracy; survey more recent literature on the subject; devise instruments to collect data; data gathering and analysis, etc., in close collaboration with the faculty mentor. Lastly, students will create a comprehensive report/research article under faculty guidance. Their final evaluation will be based on mid-semester evaluation, end-semester evaluation, mentor’s evaluation and students’ final report/research article.
Why engage?
It develops students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills as well as their soft skills such as communication, teamwork, etc. Research allows students to hone their quantitative analysis, gives them access to labs and innovation centres beyond their classrooms, and surrounds them with the best intellectual minds in their subject of interest.
Research project outcomes are exhibited and transmitted through publications, conference papers, prototypes, patents, etc., giving students authorship and ownership of their work. Participation in research projects also inculcates a research bent of mind in all NUtons, irrespective of whether they intend to pursue research as a career or not. NU’s signature Research Assistantship Programme (NURap) and Travel Assistance Programme (NUTap) are valuable student aids during and post their R&D project.

Students: Akshat Jain, Dishank Kalra, Avinash Yuvraj Patil
Stroke is the second leading cause of death and disability worldwide with 15 million new acute stroke cases every year and 285,00,000 disability-adjusted life-years. Most of the cases are of silent stroke where users don’t even realise its symptoms. The goal of this web application is to alert users to a possible future stroke. Around 80% of stroke cases can be prevented by a basic diagnosis. The stroke predictor will be able to save a substantial amount of the patient’s medical expenses as it will be able to predict the stroke early. Early diagnosis can also be a lifesaver.
