Under the visionary leadership of Honb. Dr. Akshai K. Aggarwal, Vice chancellor, GTU has

3000 students have been trained and aware about the basics of IPR and Patent in particular. Due to these
efforts, within 2 years’ time period 217 Patents have been filed by GTU affiliated college students and
faculty of Engineering and Pharmacy discipline. This number is higher than any IIT of our country for the
same period. The credit goes to the students, faculty and all the stake holder of research and innovation,
who have actively engaged in the promotion of IPR.
Now this year also many BE, ME and M. Pharma students completed their research projects on various
