About Institute of Aeronautical Engineering
The Institute of Aeronautical Engineering (IARE) runs several incubation centres for students, faculty and innovators from its campus in Dundigal, Hyderabad, Telangana. The institute was founded in 2000 and offers undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programmes in engineering and related fields. Its entrepreneurship work sits in three main places: a Technology Business Incubator funded through the Ministry of MSME, a Technology Innovation and Incubation Centre, and a Science and Technology Start-Up Park.
How the programmes work
The Technology Business Incubator (TBI) was set up in 2019 with the support of the Ministry of MSME under its ASPIRE scheme. The institute says MSME approved it as a host institution in 2018. The TBI works with young entrepreneurs in engineering and technology, helping them turn ideas into prototypes and products.
The Technology Innovation and Incubation Centre (TIIC) works on the same path. It offers design and fabrication services to prototype a product before production is scaled up. The Science and Technology Start-Up Park (STSP) is the institute's on-campus space for start-ups, with a focus on smart manufacturing and unmanned aerial vehicles.
The institute also runs the Students Innovative Project Proposal (SIPP) scheme for students, funded by the institute's management. Its study regulations let students count start-up or prototype work toward academic credit, with committee approval.
Who can apply
Students, faculty and innovators can apply to the TIIC for seed fund and capital fund support. Start-ups at the STSP need an innovation-led business that can market products or services within three years and that is in its first two years of operation. A company owned or co-owned by a faculty or staff member will normally need to incubate at the institute.
Facilities
The Maker Space offers 3D printing, PCB prototyping and tools for prototyping. The TIIC has office space and fabrication machinery. The STSP has cubicles, meeting rooms and a library with database access. The MSME-funded TBI has plant and machinery for rapid prototyping and smart manufacturing. The institute says its incubation centres are open to all students and faculty across the institution around the clock.
Scale and recognition
The institute says it has been in the top 200 of the National Institutional Ranking Framework's Engineering category since 2017, in the 151 to 200 band. Its NIRF Innovation certificate for India Rankings 2023 places it in the 51 to 100 band for Innovation. It is also categorised as band EXCELLENT by the Atal Ranking of Institutions on Innovation Achievements (ARIIA). The institute says that over the last five years its innovation centre supported 180 student and faculty innovations and generated 586 patents. The STSP says it has signed agreements with 16 corporate houses to help incubate ideas.
Who runs it
The innovation centre is headed by the Dean of Innovation and Sustainable Development. The STSP has a dean of its own.
Locations
The main campus is in Dundigal, Hyderabad, on about 10 acres next to exit 05 of the Nehru Outer Ring Road.
What is not published
The institute's pages give two different establishment years for the STSP and two different floor areas for its centres, so this profile quotes neither. Intake dates and programme fees are not published on these pages.
