Grants

SEED

It is in-house financial support, available for consumables, mini equipment, travel grant, fees for characterisation, software purchase and other operational expenses.  The intent of this initiative is to support the growth of the researchers by providing them flexible working capital and to leverage these limited funds into substantial external funding, industrial support or creative scholarship projects.

SHODH

Research is the central pillar of UPES, which is not only conducted but also driven by eminent faculty. To widen the roots of research in the institution, a new scheme titled "SHODH" is launched especially for undergraduate students. The scheme aims to enable the students to innovate through investigations and validations under the guidance of expert faculty members. The scheme introduces the students to the research ecosystem at UPES to promote product development and entrepreneurship. The scheme encourages the student to embark on multidisciplinary research by choosing their own teams and mentors. From the year of its inception, the scheme has delivered outcomes in the form of patents, products and original research articles that are published in high-impact journals and also start-ups.

I am pleased to report that research activities at UPES continue to accelerate and grow in 2025. The constant commitment of our faculty and students is driving our scientific progress as we continue to invest in research infrastructure. The Central Instrumentation Centre (CIC) fosters interdisciplinary collaborations across our users and schools resulting in several breakthrough findings. Our faculty members and research scholars have presented their work at prestigious national and international conferences, adding to UPES's global profile. I'm particularly proud to announce that several new PhD students have registered under the interdisciplinary research centres, underscoring the quality of our academic programs and the calibre of our students.
