After superannuation from BHEL, he joined MJCET as Principal in 2007. During his tenure as principal from 2007 to 2012, leveraging his industrial acumen, he brought many academic reforms in the MJCET. He played a key role in faculty qualification improvement by introducing Study Leave to pursue M.E./M.Tech and Ph.D. With this initiative, now MJCET has 61 doctorates and all faculty members are with master’s degree and 77 members are pursuing their PhD. Later he took charge as Advisor cum Director in the year 2013. Under his able leadership as head of the institute, MJCET got 5 research centres approved by Osmania University, in which 68 PhD scholars are pursuing their doctorate. He was instrumental in creating a research and development ecosystem at MJCET by establishing R & D Cell and getting 10% of Annual Budget allocation by SUES to spend as R & D grants for projects. Two of the successfully completed R & D projects have been granted Indian Patent by Government of India and another four projects are in pipeline for the grant. Under his seasoned administrative leadership, MJCET has developed various state of the art laboratories and other infrastructure facilities. In order to bridge the gap between Industry and Academia, he emphasized on signing MoUs with Industry and providing training to improve employability of students which resulted in excellent placements and internships in various MNCs. Under his tutelage, MJCET has grown leaps and bounds in academics and research orientation, and has attracted greater visibility in the state and national landscape.

In the era of globalisation the role of research in an academic institution is essential for its sustainability and growth. MJCET believes that it is imperative to have knowledge-driven growth based on innovative ideas. Behind every research there is an inquisitive mind that longs to go beyond the set frame. The research and development initiatives taken by our institute are anchored on building a research culture among students and faculty which in turn strengthen the knowledge foundation. The valuable knowledge gained through research enables the faculty to make significant value-addition to the classroom teaching and consequently help students to internalize the theoretical knowledge to come up with technological solutions with societal impact. The institute provides grants-in-aid for individual as well as collaborative work related to futuristic research that promises to solve multifarious issues faced by the society. The Research and Development centre also assists faculty, research scholars and students in filing research proposals for grants from various funding agencies like DST, AICTE, MHRD etc. and also facilitates the process of filing of IPRs like patents and copy rights.
The research ambience is consolidated with the state-of-the-art laboratories, research centres, highly equipped library, liberal funding and most importantly, the self-motivated and passionate faculty who along with their expert teaching aid in evolution of the institute as a knowledge-reservoir. The successful patents attest the fact that, when an institution aims at catalysing the germination of ideas, it is bound to create its brand in the academic and in the industrial realm.
