‘Amity University’ – Patents and R&D
Claims – Exclusive
This is to alert students
taking admissions in Private University that even the Biggest and Highest rated
Universities like Amity
University do BOGUS
research.
I have found all Amity
University patents are Bogus and income from all patents is not even Rs.0.62
lakh or 0.5% of its annual income Rs.336 crores as per UGC report that too
seems to be funded by DST.
[After this, the Committee
visited the Amity Innovation Incubator set up on the campus with the support of
DST (Govt. of India).]
[6. The Amity University,
Uttar Pradesh has a good focus on research. It has a number of well equipped
modern laboratories and is recognized by the Department of Science and Technology
of the Government of India as a Scientific & Industrial Research Organization
(SIRO). And, the University is now having a number of research projects funded
by the various Government of India agencies like DST, DBT, CSIR, DRDO. The University has some well
qualified/experienced scientists as faculty members, who have already filed a
number of patents based on their R&D work at the University.. Two of these
patents have been published by the Patents Office recently.]
When a Large University
doesn’t have a single ‘Private Sector Client’ it indicates ‘Dullards’ are in
charge of S&T programs.
Do thorough research before
taking admissions?
Competition Commission May
Take Strict Action for Misleading Advs.

Yes, Hostels for boys and
girls with all modern amenities are available. Students are provided good hostel
rooms, including A/C, if required. But, the annual rent for each student seems
to be on the higher side: Rs. 56,000/- for non-A/C and Rs 1 Lakh for A/C.
