About MSME Idea Hackathon nominations
O.P. Jindal University is on the Ministry of MSME's published list of host institutes for the incubation part of the MSME Innovative Scheme. That status is what lets an innovator name it as their host institute when applying on the ministry's own portal, and the Center is the body that does the shortlisting.
What you get
- A route into the national hackathon, with grant support for ideas that are selected there.
- Mentorship through the internal round.
Who can apply
- Not stated by the Center. The internal round it describes is run on campus.
How selection works: the Center holds a two-day internal hackathon and forwards the shortlist. In one recent round it evaluated 103 ideas and put 40 forward.
How to apply: the Center publishes no link for this one. Ask on innovation@opju.ac.in when the next internal round runs.
