Welcome to IIC

The Ministry of Education (MoE and erstwhile MHRD) in the year 2018, through MoE's Innovation Cell (MIC) had launched the Institute's Innovation Council (IIC) program in collaboration with AICTE for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to encourage the creative energy of our student population as well as to systematically forter the culture of innovation and start-up/entrepreneurial ecosystem in educational institutions.

Primarily, the IICs' role is to engage a large number of faculty and staff, and encourage, inspire, and nuture young students in various innovation and enterpreneurship-relaed activities such as ideation, problem-solving, proof of concept development, design thinking, IPR, project handling and management at pre-incubting/incubation stage, etc.,so that innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem gets established and stabilized in HEIs. The MIC envisioned the creation of a network of IICs across selected HEIs to stimulate innovation in institutions through multitudinous modes leading to an innovation boosted eco-system on these campuses.
