This has enabled researchers from several disciplines to work together and share knowledge and information.

As the identified areas by the university have recently emerged as compared to many other established fields and core educational programs, therefore, at this juncture these emerging areas are highly interdisciplinary, which are influenced by and overlapped with computer science, electronics, biotechnology, pharmacy and management disciplines. Consequently, in accordance with UGC guidelines that the deemed-to be University should have among its primary objectives Post-Graduate instruction and training in such branches of learning as it may deemed fit, and research for the advancement and dissemination of knowledge; the university strategically started and proposed other several innovative and interdisciplinary programs also so as to supplement the scientific requirements of the chosen emerging areas.

Each stream has a very strong research-focus and industry aligned curriculum. With an understanding that to carry out research of the highest quality, it can no longer merely be an 'in-house' affair, the university has joined hands with a number of universities and research organizational for collaboration in research.
