About Jadavpur University Incubation Centre
Jadavpur University opened its incubation centre in November 2025 and runs it in-house through the university's Institution's Innovation Council. Registration is by a single Expression of Interest form, open to internal startups founded by the university's students, recent graduates, faculty or staff, and to external startups with no connection to the campus.
The centre has not yet published what it provides. Its page on the university's innovation site says only that it will be updated soon, and there is no description of space, equipment, mentoring or duration.
Who can apply
- Startups already incorporated as a private limited company or an LLP, with a CIN or LLPIN and a company PAN.
- Internal startups, meaning those co-founded by current students, students who left within the last two years, faculty or staff.
- External startups, described in the university's policy as not directly affiliated with the university and typically founded by alumni, industry professionals or entrepreneurs from outside it.
- Startup India and MSME registration numbers are asked for if you have them, but neither is stated as a requirement.
What you get
- Registration under the university's incubation centre, and under its policy, access to university resources depending on what is available and how relevant it is to your business.
- The university's policy states that an external startup may be asked to give the university equity or to pay for incubation in exchange. Which of the two applies is not published, so settle it before you sign.
How selection works: the form states that registration is subject to evaluation and approval by the relevant authorities. Nothing further is published about the criteria or the timeline.
How to apply: download the Expression of Interest form from the Startup Generated page of the university's innovation and startup site, complete it and sign it with your company seal. The form names no submission address and no deadline; the Institution's Innovation Council operates the centre and can be reached at iicju@jadavpuruniversity.in.
