The Department is recognized as a Research Centre under Visveswaraya Technological University , Belgaum in the year 2010.The management of the Institution continuously encourages the Department to carry out research by giving complete financial support and other facilities. The Research Centre had organized a National Workshop on Mathematical Modelling And Applications recently.

The Department strives for excellence in research activities to get an insight into Fluid Dynamics, Graph Theory and its Applications, Fuzzy Logic, Operations Research and Industrial Statistics.

The Faculty of the Department have published nearly 23 research papers in the National and International Journals. Dr. Beena G. Kittur ,Prof and HOD ,has published 4 papers in reputed International Journals.

Prof .Dr. Ranjini P S, Assistant Professor, has achieved her doctoral degree from Visveswaraya Technological University, Belgaum in the year 2011.She is having 19 research papers in National and International journals with high impact factor to her credit.

Prof .Manjula S Dalabanjan and Prof R. Nataraj are pursuing their doctoral degree from VTU, Belgaum.

The young and dynamic faculty , Prof. Umavathi A, Miss Vimala. T and Mr. Puttalingesha are also actively involved in the overall development of the Department.
