Research & Innovation
A steady aim at academic success and professional proficiency has led RMC to undertake research activities at various levels.

Separate committees for student and faculty research have made headway in creating a culture of inquiry. Apart from interdepartmental and trans-disciplinary research, we have also established exchange and collaborative relationships with external institutions.
A separate division on research and patents, established in 2012, has allowed the College to undertake further explorations on methodology, ethics and patenting.

Ph.D. Scholars
Ramaiah Medical College (RMC), affiliated with the Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences (RUAS), offers various medical and health sciences courses, including Ph.D. programs. Many students who have completed their undergraduate or postgraduate studies in medical science from RMC choose to continue their research career at RUAS by pursuing a Ph.D. degree.

The program attracts diverse students from different parts of the country and even from other countries who are passionate about pursuing research in their chosen fields. The college has a pool of highly experienced and qualified Ph.D. guides renowned in their respective fields. They guide the students in their research work, help them identify research problems, and provide the necessary technical and academic support to complete their research work successfully.
The guide helps the scholars with their research and provides them with mentoring and career guidance. The guide-PhD scholar relationship is expected to be a long-term association beyond completing the Ph.D. program.
Currently, two students registered for a Ph.D. at RMC under RUAS.

Training Resources ReportResearch Publications
The faculty and students undertake high impact research activities in the form of academic thesis, projects, sponsored research projects and other activities. The outcome of these research activities are published in scientific journals for wider dissemination.
Research Projects
The institution provides several opportunities for its faculty and students to engage in research through various research grants, including intramural grants. Intramural grants are research grants the institution provides to support research projects conducted by its faculty and students.
MSRMC provides intramural grants to promote and support research in various fields of medical science. These grants are available to all faculty members and students of the college who wish to undertake research projects. The grants are primarily meant to cover the expenses related to the research project, such as the cost of materials, equipment, and travel expenses for attending conferences and workshops.
The intramural grant program at MSRMC is designed to encourage innovative and interdisciplinary research that addresses significant scientific and clinical questions. The grant program supports research in various areas, such as basic medical sciences, clinical research, and translational research.
