During his visit, he mentioned that the students would possibly have short stints with India’s top research and defence organisation. If the collaboration takes place, the students will have a chance to work on independent projects under the guidance of scientists at DRDO.

Currently, the organisation is looking for projects related to ocean sciences and naval technology. Hence, DRDO asked DBCE to finalise five research projects out of which the organisation will select one project under a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) which will be signed by March 2017. The MoU will be signed with DRDO in association with Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce (FICCI) as soon as the incubation centre is ready at DBCE.
