A World of Opportunities
A vital constituent of Eskay Educational Trust, DBS has established itself as a pioneer in Research Oriented Academic Delivery, and has made great progress in expanding realms of knowledge in select focus areas. Provisions for Monetary Incentives have been made to encourage and promote the culture of research and innovation among the students, while also laying equal emphasis on developing student research and related skills. This pushes students to go out of their comfort zones and try their luck and expertise across new career options and in turn, build transferable skills. In this very pursuit, the Student Research Policy of DBS, is a one of its kind initiative fostering an atmosphere of research and inculcating research aptitude among students.
