Research Advisory & Ethics Committee
Research Advisory & Ethics Committee
The Research Advisory & Ethics Committee (RAEC) plays a crucial role in ensuring the ethical standards and scientific merit of all research activities conducted within the institution. It is established to provide a comprehensive ethical scrutiny process and to address relevant ethical considerations pertaining to research scholars. The RAEC is committed to promoting an ethical research culture in the institute by implementing specific and goal-oriented research initiatives that facilitate quality research undertaken by faculty members, either independently or in collaboration with industry and students. To uphold academic integrity and originality, Turnitin software is utilized to perform plagiarism checks on all research documents submitted by faculty and students.
