KNOWLEDGE INCUBATION FOR TEQIP

IIT KANPUR

Summer Internship Program with INVENT under SIIC June 01-July 27, 2018

As a part of Summer Internship Program, this year KIT started a unique internship

program which was held in association with INVENT Program SIIC, IIT

Kanpur. This is a step towards motivating students to get acquainted with the

process of converting a viable innovative idea/research into a valuable product and

the final outcome being generating entrepreneurs. It aims to motivate students to

invoke their innovative side by working with some young entrepreneurs who are

strongly motivated to bring change in the society with their innovative ideas.

Most of the companies involved are focused

towards bringing social change and deliver

significant positive impact on the society.

Selected students were paired with start-up

companies incubated at IIT Kanpur and they

worked on assignments given by these companies

for the period of 6-8 weeks starting from June 1,

2018 to July 27,2018. The students were

familiarized to the challenges faced by potential

entrepreneurs to actuate their ideas into a

product/services and learn about their success stories and challenges faced by

them. 19 students were selected to work under this program. Working with these

company’s students were motivated to think outside the box and they got an

exposure to the work environment of an industry. Future collaborations are being

planned by KIT, IIT with SIIC to organize more such programs to create these

opportunities for TEQIP students and teachers

OUTCOME

In past few years KIT summer internship program has evolved into a

portal with the help of which TEQIP institutes and IIT Kanpur are

forming foundations of productive research and knowledge exchange.

The interactions through internships and visiting programs have been

mutually beneficial for IIT Kanpur and TEQIP institutes as they have

resulted in some published work and future collaborations.

This year the internship program with INVENT, SIIC has given a new

direction to this program. It has created an exceptional platform where

students (mostly UG) can get a feel of what it takes to work in an

industry.
