Faculty Research and Training Compensation Policy (2025-26)

The Tirpude Institute of Management Education’s Faculty Research and Training Compensation Policy (2025-26) is designed to foster academic excellence by incentivizing continuous faculty development and high-quality research. The policy mandates that faculty members stay updated with emerging technologies and domain trends to provide students with relevant, real-life insights.

Key Research & Training Mandates

Faculty members are required to publish at least one research paper annually in UGC Care, SCOPUS, or ABDC indexed journals. Additionally, they must attend at least one research conference and one five-day Faculty Development Program (FDP) per academic year. As a flexible alternative, faculty may complete approved SWAYAM MOOC courses. A special 2025-26 initiative also requires faculty to co-author and publish two conference papers with students by January 31, 2026.

Financial Support and Incentives

To encourage participation, the Institute provides significant financial backing:

  • Publication Fees: 50% reimbursement for papers in indexed journals.

  • Cash Awards: ₹5,000 for the first ABDC/SCOPUS publication and ₹10,000 for each subsequent paper.

  • Travel & Training: Full reimbursement for registration, travel, and accommodation for approved offline events.
