Seven National/International Funding Agencies have recently granted the university 02 Crore of Funding for undertaking cutting-edge research. The university also has on record Intellectual Property of 1700 plus Scopus Indexed Research Publications and 700 patents (filed), which stands as a testimony to the university's focus on knowledge creation and dissemination.

Citing the rigorous process preceding the rating, Dr. Archana Mantri, Vice-Chancellor, said, "QS I-GAUGE follows a rigorous and comprehensive institutional rating procedure, and the application process can become cumbersome and time consuming for the unprepared applicants, but owing to Chitkara University's process centric approach to teaching, research and learning, we were ready with all the documentation even before we started the application process. I am happy that the wonderful teamwork and quality education at Chitkara University finally has the recognition of QS I -GAUGE."
Dr K.K Mishra, Associate Director, IQAC, Chitkara University, who also led the rigorous process at the university, shared that, "Keeping in consideration the fact that QS I-GAUGE employs a very rigorous rating methodology, we were sure of our quality benchmarks and data insights from the very beginning of the rating process."
