GEC Aurangabad Innovation & Entrepreneurship policy ( GECA I & E)

Government Engineering College Aurangabad has been at the forefront of promoting creativity and incubating business ideas in order to provide an atmosphere where its students and faculty can explore their potential. Members of the faculty are continuously engaged in the generation and distribution of information, just as students are finding ways to launch business ideas to influence society and solve problems in the real world.

The conversion of research activity into entrepreneurial ventures, where Students, Scholars, Faculty, Alumni and Prospective Entrepreneurs express interest in knowledge generation. A large number of R&D activities are being proposed to be carried out by stakeholders in several cutting-edge science and technology areas. However, most of these research outcomes do not get translated into commercial products, benefiting the society in general, due to several reasons including lack of interest in the industry in commercializing new and futuristic technologies and restriction on the institute’s employees to start entrepreneurship.

Towards this end, Government College of Engineering Aurangabad in line with the best practices of other institutes of higher learning across the world, encourages interested stakeholders to incorporate companies to engage in the businesses, that are direct result of the research and development and also creativity and innovation activities.
