IIIT-Delhi introduces entrepreneurship minor for BTech students

“This course is designed to equip students with the entrepreneurship competency, business acumen and entrepreneurial vision needed to become job creators,” the institute said in a written statement.

The program, said the institute, will focus on building an ability to propose, analyse and plan a venture through team-based projects and understand the challenges, gaps and opportunities and plan effective solutions. The course will also include the study of business ethics, basics of financial and legal planning, raising fund, and sustainability for both the business and the environment.

Ranjan Bose, Director IIIT-Delhi said “Entrepreneurial thinking is a mindset which goes beyond just starting a business venture. It deals with developing life-skills, such as, identifying unique opportunities and selling one’s ideas to people in other domains. The minor course will broaden our students’ mindset, help them transform disruptive ideas into realization, develop entrepreneurial competency and hone their business acumen.”
