GIC Events

GTU Innovation Council (GIC) promotes culture of innovation & entrepreneurship since a decade now. To accelerate this, now we have introduced some events in techfest which will help students to understand the business models and will also help them to groom their skills. These events will be conducted at regional level at GIT, SAL, VVP, Babaria and SCET College. GIC has proposed 3 events which are mentioned below:

1. TechPitch:

This event will give a clear idea of what the project/product will be, usually expressed in statements of work, Proof of concept, Prototypes, functional product specs, or their equivalents. Based on this clear idea, quality management can objectively determine if the product was "realized" and how efficient the process was.

2. IDP Expo:

As a part of the GTU Zonal TechFest 2019, GIC is carrying out an Industrial Defined Project (IDP) Expo to showcase the best innovations across GTU. The main objective of IDP Expo is to provide space for showing Innovative idea to bring solution for real industrial problems. Students need to come up with innovative solutions for the benefits of society and industry to showcase infront of faculty, mentors , industrial experts , GTU assistant professors. The real life solution can be taken as final year project as per GTU curriculum.

3. Patent Clinic:

As a part of the GTU Zonal TechFest 2019, GIC is carrying out a Patent Clinic to scout for the best innovations across GTU. The main goal of the Patent Clinic activity is to give a platform to the innovations and provide them security for their Intellectual Property, providing financial support for their patent and innovators learning the process of patent filing.
