APG Shimla University Advances Interdisciplinary Research with New Projects in 2025

Alakh Prakash Goyal Shimla University (APGSU), recognized for its strong academic foundations across engineering, sciences, management, law, and creative disciplines. It is expanding  its research footprint with new interdisciplinary projects and doctoral programs geared toward real-world impact.

The new technological advancements include in-house facilities and laboratories that support a diverse range of research activities not only at the PhD Civil Engineering degree course such as sustainable urban development, but also with innovation in Forensic Science, Cardiovascular Technology and Medical Microbiology. The philosophy of the institution combines research excellence and the ability to address modern construction, environmental sustainability, and smart-city technologies.  

Engineers, scientists, and social scientists who are on the faculty and in the doctoral student body more frequently collaborate among the fields and this is reflected in the growth of the PhD program, which today accepts applications in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Chemistry, Physics, Journalism and Mass Communication, Management, and Law. Admission standards require candidates to hold relevant master's degrees and pass entrance examinations or interviews conducted by the university.  

APGSU recently introduced a one-week Faculty Development Programme (July 7 to July 11, 2025), featuring senior academics such as Prof. (Dr.) Ankit Thakur, Dean of the School of Engineering and Technology to strengthen its research capabilities. Through the involvement of the faculty in new tendencies in instruction and research, the university aims to ensure that its scholars will not fall behind in regard to the pedagogical and technological shifts and improve the quality of the student projects and collaborations with the industries.  

Its 44 acre wireless enabled campus with cutting edge research facilities and state-of-the-art areas helps in developing innovative and promoting meaningful contributions to the research process even at the lower levels of their academic career by undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Research at APG Goyal Shimla University is gaining recognition beyond the campus. Major recruiters like Google, Amazon, and Tata Steel have increasingly strong ties with its talent pool. The institution’s emphasis on practical, industry-aligned research is reflected in its strong placement records and the growing reputation of its graduates as innovators and problem-solvers.  

Through the ability to position itself as a center of applied and interdisciplinary research in northern India, the university provides potential students and the industrial partners with a better chance of engaging in collaborative projects, technology-transfer, and scholarly efforts that cater to local and global needs. With doctoral programs, continuous faculty training and the infusion into a modern infrastructure, APG Shimla University is now approaching a major contributor to the Indian innovation and research system.
