Institution's Innovation Council

Career Point University set up an Institution's Innovation Council in the 2019-20 academic session, following the guidelines of the Ministry of Education's Innovation Cell. Its purpose is to get students and faculty from an idea to a prototype while they are still studying, and to build a working innovation culture across the campus.

What you get

• Workshops, training programmes and ideation sessions
• Hackathons and innovation contests
• Industry-academia interaction events
• Start-up mentorship programmes and research collaborations

Who can apply

• The university's own students and faculty. This is an internal council, not a route for outside founders — they should look at The Pioneer Incubator instead.

The council reports a 3-STAR rating for 2023-24 and 221 activities since it started, with a year-by-year breakdown on its page that adds up to that total. It draws members from fourteen departments across engineering, sciences, management, law and humanities, alongside industry participants. Nothing on the page is dated after the 2023-24 session.
