In order to strengthen and expand the research activities in the institute, PEC R&D Cell has been established and is functioning in this Institution from last several years. The significant factors indicating potential growth in the research activities includes the enhancement in the research publications in peer reviewed journals, Research Projects/ grants, Patents, Collaborations, Doctoral program and Faculty development. The Cell is a nominated committee consisting of Professors from various programs of Engineering and Basic Sciences.

The organizational structure consists of a Director, Committee Members and Coordinators for facilitating the routine functioning of the cell. The PEC R&D Cell administers all the research Programs of the College by monitoring and coordinating the research Programs. It conducts the research review meeting to examine the quality of research being conducted by various teams. The Research & Development Cell of every department takes immense efforts to expose the students to recent developments in the technology through innovative project works and paper presentations. Our College Mechanical Engineering Department has research centre in which the faculty and students from various institutions, who are interested in enhancing their qualifications do their research, work in their discipline

* To promote and facilitate leading edge Research in Engineering and Technology & Management
Building, and providing sufficient support for a community of innovative researchers, to enhance research capabilities at  the college and to increase internal and external researcopportunities for faculty and graduate students
*Regular communication of Research centre activities and opportunities for faculty and students involvement
*Upgradation of workshop and laboratory through Funding Agencies
*To develop Research proposal for funding from DST /DRDO/AICTE/MHRD
*To organize seminars/Conferences/workshops in the relevant area of Engineering & Technology and Management
*To create state of the art Research lab facility for young engineers to carry out research in interdisciplinary domains
*The R&D activities of the college are bifurcated in to “Industry Related Project Research” and “Pure Academic Research
*To identify thrust areas and potential for further Research activities
*To identify areas for training to strengthen the R&D culture
*To encourage faculty members of all the disciplines in engineering / science / humanityand management to participate in R&D activities for their professional growth
