In the year 2018, the Ministry of Education (MoE) through MoE’s Innovation Cell (MIC) launched the Institution’s Innovation Council (IIC) program in collaboration with AICTE for Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) to systematically foster the culture of innovation and start-up ecosystem in education institutions.
Primarily, IICs’ role is to engage large number of faculty, students and staff in various innovation and entrepreneurship related activities such as ideation, Problem solving, Proof of Concept development, Design Thinking, IPR, project handling and management at Pre-incubation/Incubation stage, etc., so that innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem gets established and stabilized in HEIs.
To achieve greater recognition in our chosen fields of Endeavour and to excel as one of the renowned engineering institutions with respect to technical education and research so as to produce competitive student’s workforce to compete in the current Global Scenario.
Integrates functionalities of flexibility calendar activities and Scoring systems.
Emerged as a very sustainable and scalable model for promoting innovation within HEIs.
Contribution towards the Global Innovation Index (GII) ranking, reflecting national excellence.
Global Impact: IIC model is unique and distinct as it integrates the functionalities of flexibility calendar activities, scoring and reward system, decentralizing operation with division of work, progress monitoring and incentive mechanisms in coordinated manner through a robust digital platform. In last two years, undoubtedly, IIC has emerged as a very sustainable and scalable model for promoting innovation within HEIs and the efforts of these IIC Institutes can be seen as impactful contribution towards making country’s innovation and start-ups ecosystem more vibrant and dynamic. The recent achievement of India’s 48th position in Global Innovation Index (GII) ranking reflects the same.
Official certificate recognizing the establishment of the Institution's Innovation Council (IIC) by the Ministry of Education's Innovation Cell.
Annual performance rating and recognition for the academic year 2023-24, highlighting our institutional innovation achievements.
