We are indeed very happy to celebrate the successful decade of the D. Y. Patil
University, Kolhapur established on 01 st September 2005 as declared by Ministry

Commission under section 3 and UGC Act 1956. The University has been declared
as ‘A’ Grade with CGPA 3.09 by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council
(NAAC), in 2012. The University has received many awards such as “Best University
Award 2013” by the Europe Business Assembly-the club of Rectors of Europe on

Pune, “CCI Technology Education Excellence Awards-2015” by CMAI Association of
India. In order to undertake the frontier level research in the field of Medical and
Allied Sciences the University has established the Centre for Interdisciplinary
Research with thrust on Nanotechnology and its applications in Health care and
planet care. The Centre also offers Interdisciplinary studies research programmes
(Ph.D./M.Sc.) leading to medical research in advance areas. The University has
signed many more MOUs for Collaborations with National & International
Institutes. The University has completed many research projects funded by various
Govt. agencies like CSIR, DRDO, DST, BRNS and DBT.
The D.Y.Patil University is basically a Health Sciences University and it has adopted
the policy of intensification of research in various branches of medical and allied
sciences, in addition to its teaching and extension activities. In fulfillment of this,
the University has not only encouraged its faculty but also P.G. (MD/MS/ M.Sc.)
Students to do research right from first year of admissions and their research is
monitored and evaluated continuously for all three years of the tenure of their
study by organizing “Campaign on University Research & Training (COURT)”
activity conducted on 18th February of every year. The lst and 2nd year students
make the presentation on their topic of research for PG thesis in the form of posters,
while the final year students report their results in the platform presentation. In
addition, the final year P.G. students are made compulsory to write a research paper
based on their PG thesis in prescribed format for its publication in Research Journal.
To begin with, the University has provided the platform of its own publication in
“Medical Journal of D.Y.Patil University”.
Thus, the publication of research paper by the student is an integral part of
curriculum of the PG Course. This program in research training of how to write the
research papers to be published in the international journals is an innovative. This
is a noteworthy exercise of our University, which has helped in attracting young
medical doctors and researchers to medical and interdisciplinary research. The
members of editorial board of the journal have strictly followed the reviewing
procedure with the help of experts in the field, and the quality of the journal is
maintained. The journal has resulted into the mirror image of the research work
carried out in the University and the papers published therin are referred by many
others. We are very happy to let the readers know about the outcome of our efforts
which has resulted into featuring the research papers from our University
researchers in “Top 20 Publications” at global level. In addition to the involvement
of PG students in research, the UG students also have got sanctioned STS fellowship
from ICMR, Delhi. The University is also running full time Ph.D. programs in five
different areas of Medical & Allied sciences under the umbrella of “Centre for
Interdisciplinary Research”. This is an excitement and proud to every PG student to
participate in research publications based on their PG thesis.
