Technical education system in India has undergone a transformation in the last several years. The focus is more on students to make them readily employable and face the competition. Research and teaching are the two important aspects of any higher education system, which complement each other and improve the quality of education. Research is an important component of the teachinglearning process, as its helps in disseminating current knowledge to the students and keeps them updated in their discipline. Thus teaching-research nexus has assumed lot of importance. Involvement of undergraduate students (UG) in research in technical Institutions is a recent phenomenon. It has been a regular feature in Institutions of National importance namely the IITs and NITs, but in private Institutions and Universities it is not happening regularly. There is a need to involve UG students in research, in order to stimulate them towards innovation. A country like India with a huge student population can really make wonders by making this happen and the students can be easily motivated and trained. This requires a ‘research-based curriculum’. In this regard, this paper tries to present a perspective on teaching-research nexus and evolve a broad framework for a research-based curriculum, with regard to authors’ Institution, which is an autonomous Institution, with lot of flexibility with regard to curriculum. This curriculum can help UG students to get a feel of research, when they are young and motivate them to take up research as a future career and also help them in their placements.Keywords

Research in higher education is an integral aspect of the teaching-learning process, particularly Post Graduate (PG). One of the important indexes, which are used to evaluate the progress of any nation, is its progress in Research and Development (R and D). The vast improvements in Science and Technology and its impact on human life are mainly due to sustained research and innovation. Technical education is not exception to this. Hitherto IITs, NITs, IISc and other government R and D organizations were active in research, but now it has percolated to all the technical institutions. One reason attributed to this is an increase in number of PhDs required and produced per year in the country. In this context, to meet the ever-increasing demand for PhDs in the country, there is a need to inculcate a sense of ‘research culture’ among the students, particularly PG. This paper is an attempt to understand the influence of faculty research on the students’ learning outcomes and how it motivates them to take up research in their future career. The study has been carried out at the authors’ institution, which is an autonomous institution. A standard questionnaire survey has been carried out among all the PG students of the institution and the results of the findings are presented, with some suggestions for strengthening the research-teaching nexus.Keywords
