Researchers from RK University have been successful in receiving extramural research funding from the Department of Science and Technology’s Gujarat Council on Science and Technology (GUJCOST) in recent years. During the past three years, several researchers from RK University have published their experimental findings in renowned journals with a Thomson-Reuters Impact Factor and/or with a SCImago Journal Ranking (SJR). Both of these journal metrics have been widely accepted by the scientific community. India’s National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) gives special emphasis on these two widely accepted metrics. The Faculty of Doctoral Studies & Research at RK University encourages researchers to submit their manuscripts only to those journals that have these two metrics.

Established under the Gujarat Private Universities Act of 2009, RK University has consistently received recognition and accolades from renowned organizations such as Microsoft, Infosys, IUCEE, ISTE, TCS, DNA, Engineering Watch, and Wipro. RKU’s faculty members have secured a significant amount of extramural research funding from GUJCOST; an autonomous body functioning under the aegis of the Department of Science and Technology. RKU’s leadership comprises researchers and academicians from renowned institutes of learning. Nobel Laureate Dr. Alan J. Heeger delivered a video speech during RK University’s First International Conference on Research & Entrepreneurship (ICRE 2016). RK University has also been successful in coordinating the Fourth International Conference on Transformations in Engineering Education (ICTIEE 2017) on it’s scenic campus. Distinguished dignitaries from the United States, Europe, India, and Australia visited RK University during ICTIEE 2017. The Faculty of Doctoral Studies & Research at RK University organizes training workshops, seminars, conferences, and also provides strong support to all research-related activities across the RKU campus.
