The faculty members of the department are intensive researchers and the department has a good number of externally funded research projects granted by funding agencies including UGC, DST, NBHM, SERB and CSIR. The department has at present 4 faculty members and a CSIR Emeritus Scientist who are all involved in research activities in the areas like, Domination and Reconstruction of graphs, Graphs from Algebraic Structures, Algebraic Graph Theory, Non-linear Analysis and Fixed Point Theory. This department has produced 102 Ph.D’s till date. At present there are 17 full time Research Scholars working for Ph.D and they are supported by CSIR-JRF, Rajiv Gandhi National Fellowship, Maulana Azad National Fellowship, DST-INSPIRE Fellowship and Major Research Project Grants. The faculty members and research scholars have published good number of research papers in reputed SCI Expanded and SCOPUS indexed journals.

The National Board of Higher Mathematics has been sanctioning annual Library Grant to the Department from the year 1999. Now that, the annual grant from NBHM is Rs. 5.8 lakhs per annum. The University Grants Commission has recognized the Department for UGC Special Assistance(DRS-I & II) for the period of 2007-2018 with a tune of Rs 94 lakhs.
