Lucknow: Students of Dr A P J Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) can now look forward to internships and job opportunities across several sectors, as 16 new startups were incubated on Friday at the university’s Kalam Incubation Centre.
These startups were selected by the incubation centre after several rounds of evaluation. In addition to getting a workspace on campus, these startups will receive mentorship from experts. They will also be provided with information about various government schemes and funding opportunities. Through these startups, AKTU students can gain valuable work experience both as interns and as part of the workforce.
Comprehensive Support for Startups
“AKTU incubation centres support startups by offering comprehensive, end-to-end assistance, expert mentoring, co-working spaces and lab facilities. We focus on converting research ideas into viable commercial products through networking and intellectual property (IP) support,” said dean academics, AKTU Centre of Advanced Studies, Anuj Sharma.
Increased Opportunities for Students
He said with the coming up of 16 startups, we will now have a total of 56 startups, which means more opportunity for our students to train, learn, think of starting their own startups and also getting jobs at one.
The incubation centre aims to foster innovation and entrepreneurship among students, providing a platform for them to transform their ideas into successful businesses. With the addition of these new startups, the university strengthens its commitment to bridging the gap between academia and industry.
