MUJ is one leading example of knowledge creator through societal need-based research.  Some of the significant concluding research projects with societal connects accomplished by MUJ faculty members and students are mentioned below: 

• Multi-Functional Jaipur-Hand: As we are aware that apart from its culture and heritage, Jaipur is famous in the world for its biggest inventions in the field of medical science, Jaipur Foot. For millions of people in the world who have lost their hand due to some or the other reason, the multi-functional artificial hands are available today but are very costly and are beyond the affordability of poor. MUJ jointly with Piltover Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (an incubation of MUJ students) developed Jaipur-Hand which is not only cheaper but also works better, its mechanical version was handed over to Bhagwan Mahaveer Viklang Sahayata Samiti, Jaipur which on their suggestions is being improvised to automated version now.
• Artificial Bones: MUJ faculty members of Department of Mechanical Engineering have created bio-compatible Artificial Bones that can replace the human bones lost due to severe fractures, diseases etc. This will remove the need of surgery to remove metallic implants.
• Unbreakable and Fireproof Tiles: Rajasthan is reeling under pressure of piled up dust of marble slurry. As we know that marble slurry is taking the shape of an environmental threat, researchers at MUJ converted the threat into an opportunity and has developed unbreakable and fireproof floor titles using it. The cost is almost equal to normal ceramic tiles and their unbreakable and fireproof nature makes them superior.
• Captive Oxygen Generation Plant: An in-house Captive Oxygen Generation Plant to provide uninterrupted oxygen during the COVID-19 situation and other times has been built by the joint efforts of faculty members from Manipal University Jaipur, Monash University, Australia and Curtin University, Australia.
