Rathinam Startup School

The Startup School is the college's general entry point for students who want to try building something. It is a standing campus route rather than a dated cohort: there is one enrollment form, no announced intake window and no selection call.

Who can apply

• Rathinam Technical Campus students only. The enrollment form is subtitled "Only for Rathinam Technical Campus Students".
• Any year from 1st to 4th and any semester from 1st to 8th — the form's two dropdowns are the only academic fields and they cover every stage of the degree.
• No idea and no team required. The form asks separately whether you have a firm idea, whether you have a team and whether you are ready to form one, so none of the three is a gate.
• A founder from outside the campus cannot use this. There is no alternative form and no outside intake anywhere on the college's site.

What the form asks

• Whether you are interested in becoming an entrepreneur, and whether you have a passion for a startup.
• Whether your family runs a business.
• Whether you took part in startup activity at school or college before, and whether you want to take part in startup activity in college now.
• One free-text question: what kind of support you need from the Startup School.

How selection works: The college publishes no selection step, no shortlist and no criteria. The form reads as an enrollment and interest register rather than a competitive application.

How to apply: Fill the enrollment form on the college's own site. The only published contact for the campus is its front-desk phone number; there is no separate Startup School inbox.
