Mahabodhi Mahavidyalaya has established a Research and Development Cell, with several faculty members earning national recognition for their research contributions. Notably, some teachers have published works in UGC Care list journals and edited volumes.

In recent years, the Placement Cell, in collaboration with the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC), has partnered with national training institutions to provide skill development and employment opportunities for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. The college is also collaborating with Nava Nalanda Mahavihar for additional training programs. Specialized counseling and career guidance empower students to navigate the challenges of an open economy and rapidly advancing technology.

Extension and outreach activities are driven by the NSS units of the college, with strong support from faculty, including the NSS program officer. Socially relevant programs addressing rural sanitation, national integration, communal harmony, environmental consciousness, water harvesting and management, biodiversity, reforestation, and energy conservation are conducted both on campus and in nearby communities. NCC cadets regularly organize road safety drives to raise awareness on this critical issue. The recently launched ‘Village Adoption Initiative’ has seen NSS volunteers making significant contributions to local development.
