Dr. Pankaj Sah delivering the keynote lecture entitled “How to turn student’s projects into quality research papers?”

Integrating research skills into the undergraduate curricula is the need of the hour, as every job in the present scenario requires some research to be undertaken by individuals while performing their official duties. The professionals pursuing careers in engineering, technology, sciences and management should have a fair amount of exposure to the presentation techniques related to the analysis of their research results. 

Dr. Pankaj Sah, a lecturer working in the Applied Biology Section of Department of Applied Sciences was invited as a keynote speaker in the “First National Symposium on Emerging Trends in Engineering and Management (NSETEM-2017)” organized by the Waljat College of Applied Sciences (WCAS) on 13th November, 2017under the patronage of H.E Indra Mani Pandey, India’s Ambassador to Oman, Professor S.
