In 2018, the Ministry of Education (MoE, erstwhile MHRD), in collaboration with AICTE, launched the Institution’s Innovation Council (IIC) program through MoE’s Innovation Cell (MIC) for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to encourage the creative energy of the student population and to systematically foster the culture of innovation, startup and entrepreneurial ecosystem in educational institutions. Primarily, the IICs’ role is to engage a large number of faculty & staff and encourage, inspire and nurture young students in various innovation and entrepreneurship-related activities such as ideation, problem-solving, proof of concept development, design thinking, IPR, project handling and management at pre-incubation/incubation stage so that innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem gets established and stabilized in HEIs.
Aryan Institute of Engineering & Technology (Polytechnic) Cuttack has been a part of this program since 2023. AIET Polytechnic Cuttack has been conducting various activities, as mandated by the MIC, throughout the year to foster a culture of innovation among students and faculties. Moreover, an Institute Innovation Laboratory (IIL) has been set up where students and faculties can work on their innovative ideas. The laboratory provides anytime access. The activities in the laboratory are linked with IIC6.0. Currently, the laboratory has adequate infrastructure and equipment that the students and faculties can use for their work.
