Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) is vital to the development of the institution and its stakeholders. Intellectual property refers to the property created and owned by a person through the virtue of human intellect. Intellectual property rights shall include patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and other species such as computer software or printed material, any new and useful process, machine, composition of matter, life form, article of manufacture, software, copyrighted work, such things as new or improved devices, circuits, chemical compounds, drugs, genetically engineered biological organisms, data sets, software, musical processes, or unique and innovative uses of existing inventions.

The government of India revised the National IPR policy in May 2016. The Policy recognizes to foster creative and innovative energies that flow in India, and to channelize these energies towards a better and brighter future ahead. The National IPR Policy is a vision document that encompasses and brings to a single platform all IPRs. It views IPRs holistically, taking into account all inter-linkages and thus aims to create and exploit synergies between all forms of intellectual property (IP), concerned statutes, and agencies. It sets in place an institutional mechanism for implementation, monitoring, and review. It aims to incorporate and adapt global best practices to the Indian scenario.

In this direction college initiated the formation of IPR Cell to encourage research and provide a conducive environment for researchers. The IPR cell of the college aims to create awareness on IPR among the stakeholders of the Institution.
