Jyothi Centre for Research & Development

Jyothi Centre for Research and Development dedicates itself in creating sustainable research and product development ecosystem by collaborating with industry and research organizations with main focus of producing entrepreneurs and innovators with hands-on experiences in solving real-world research and development problems. We believe that collaborative research and development activities play vital role in empowering the academic course teachers or instructors to provide and demonstrate practical examples in classroom for better understanding of the concepts.  We encourage our faculty members and researchers to take up an industry-oriented project that focuses on direct research and/or software development in a particular research problem. Our institution provides full-pledged infrastructure and platform to the faculty members and students to understand, contribute to, and succeed cutting-edge research product development on a broad range of science and engineering topics. We also commit to provide infrastructure to incubate the startups and companies.


Our mission and values are:
  • Motivate creativity and innovation
  • Encourage collaborative, project-based learning
  • Generate practical and theoretical knowledge
  • Create research-oriented startups

Machinability evaluation and wear behaviour of hybrid Aluminium MMC reinforced with CNT and solid lubricants
Collaborating Institutions
  • Principal Investigator: Dr. Deepanraj B
  • Co-PIs: Mr. Nice Menachery
  • Funding Agency: All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE)
  • Total Fund Sanctioned : Rs. 20,92,500

This research work is focused on preparation of a hybrid Nano metal matrix composite containing Aluminium as the matrix material and carbon Nano tubes and solid lubricant as reinforcement by powder metallurgy route. The mechanical behaviour of this hybrid Nano-composite is evaluated by means of tensile test, compression test, micro-hardness, corrosion test and wear test. The distribution of reinforced materials in the matrix is by SEM image. Machinability evaluation of the cast MMC is studied to determine the performance of the MMC during turning with an uncoated and coated cutting tool inserts.




One District One Idea (ODOI) Innovation Cluster Program
Collaborating Institutions
  • Principal Investigator: Dr. Biju C.V.
  • Co-PIs: Mr. Jinesh K.J
  • Funding Agency: Kerala Development and Innovation Strategy Council, (K-DISC)
  • Total Fund Sanctioned : Rs. 4,57,000

The Kerala Development and Innovation Strategy Council, (K-DISC) is a strategic think-tank and advisory body constituted by the Government of Kerala. In order to utilize the potential of Engineering Colleges in Kerala, KDISC introduced a programme called "One District One Idea" (ODOI) for the innovation of MSME clusters in the State. Under the scheme, Jyothi Engineering College, Cheruthuruthy has been identified as the mentor institution to rejuvenate the Handloom clusters in the Kuthampally area. The main objective of the project is to develop an action plan for the enhancement of productivity of the existing handloom units registered in the Kondazhy, Kuthampally, Eravathody and Thiruvilwamala Societies. More than 1000 units are registered under these four societies. Redefining the manufacturing process, introduction of new means for market and training centers for youngsters etc., will be the underlying focus of this project.




Intelligent Data Analytics Platform for a Metro Rail Transport System
Collaborating Institutions
  • Principal Investigator: Fr. Dr. Jaison Paul Mulerikkal CMI
  • Co-PIs: Dr. Vinith Rajatlal, Associate Professor, Computer Science and Engineering, Jyothi Engineering College, Cheruthuruthy
  • Dr. Sminu Izudheen, Assistant Professor, Computer Science and Engineering, Rajagiri School of Engineering and Technology, Kochi Mr. Binu A, Assistant Professor, Information Technology, Rajagiri School of Engineering and Technology, Kochi
  • Junior Research Fellows: Deepa Merlin Dixon K and Sajanraj T D
  • Funding Agency: Department of Science and Technology, India
  • Total Fund Sanctioned : 24,96,000 Rupees

Through this project, we intend to develop an intelligent data analytical platform for a metro rail transport system integrating its various CPS and other data sources. We keep Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) as a specific use case for this project. This platform will be a middleware with input (data) APIs and output (information) APIs which is built on the top of an HDFS based software stack. The middleware will also implement a set of analytical solutions which are again exposed to the outside world through relevant APIs. Developers can leverage on these input and output APIs to develop internal or external applications. The project will also implement few Proof of Concept (POC) applications to prove the viability of the above middleware with its APIs. This middleware will be generic in nature so that it could be replicated in other Metro Rail systems with minimum modifications and customization.




Driver Centric Safety Evaluation Of Two Lane Rural Highway

  • Funding Agency: Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment (KSCSTE), Thiruvananthapuram
  • Project fund : 12.7 Lakhs Rupees

The research work focuses on the effect of geometric design consistency on safety of two lane rural highways, taking into consideration the amount of workload the geometry load up on a driver. In order to calculate the workload on a driver, we are conducting test drives on certain selected study stretches around the college campus. During the test, the drivers should attach the RDDAS (which is a combination of several sensors developed to measure the physiological conditions of drivers) to their body and then drive for a minimum of one hour along the study stretches. While driving, the changes in the physiological conditions of the driver with respect to the road features will be recorded, and is used for the research purposes.
