PSAR Activity Ranking Report (Academic Year 2014-15)

Dear Reader,

Under the visionary leadership of Honb. Dr. Akshai K. Aggarwal, Vice chancellor, GTU Innovation Council (GIC) had started its mission for IP literacy since from September 2011. Under this journey GTU Innovation council had launched Patent Search and Analysis Report (PSAR) activity in September 2013 (In academic year 2013-14), with an objective to increase awareness regarding patents among students by making them familiarity with patent websites & patent documents. In this activity each student of 7th Semester B.E. was asked to study at least 5 patents related to his/her project and have to prepare Patent Search and Analysis Report (PSAR) via specially developed web portal by GTU.

During academic year 2013-14, via this activity more than 35000 students have studied more than 178,000 patents in a period of four months. Following the glorious progress of last year, in current academic year (2014-15) also a hard work of more than 42000 students and faculty from all GTU affiliated B.E. colleges across the state leads to generation of more than 185,000 PSAR reports. This ultimately leads to significant rise in IP literacy among our students and faculty.

GTU is further planning to develop proper review system of all such generated PSAR reports from all colleges. Where by GTU, in association with all faculty aiming to motivate all students for giving more innovative ideas for incremental innovations related to each of the studied patents. Through this system potential ideas will be extracted from all such PSAR reports, which can be further taken as an innovative projects by subsequent batch of students.

This report presents the detailed analysis of efforts made by students from various departments of all degree engineering colleges affiliated to Gujarat Technological University (GTU) in PSAR (Patent Search and Analysis Report) activity during academic year 2014-15. This report is made based on PSAR data collected as of 27th January 2015.

This report represents the:
1. Branch wise total number of submitted PSAR reports
2. College ranking based on the performance of all students in PSAR activity.
3. Performance analysis of departments at all colleges in PSAR activity
4. Department wise performance ranking from various colleges for PSAR activity

Note: All entries are based on the chronology order of college codes. In case of any college department, where are less than ten students registered for PSAR and other activities, no rank is assigned to such departments, instead * is mentioned.
