are nominated to various events relating to
entrepreneurship including B-plan workshops,
B-plan contests, seminars, workshops and
conferences. mUJ is organizing E-conclave in
its campus every year. this conclave sensitizes
students to the concept of entrepreneurship and
promote start-ups while they are in the process of
completing their education. the conclave hosts
various events like Business plan competition,
Boot camp, Entrepreneurship awareness camp,
National workshop on Intellectual property
rights and Geographical indications.
the University has also created endowments
to offer financial support to some of these
innovative ventures through their own resources.
the University has already incubated 20 new
start-ups in a short span of 2-3 years. Incubates
are provided office space, business and legal
support, access to all lab facilities and facilities
like 3d printing etc. the University proposes to
set up technology Business Incubators (tBI) and
has also applied for Government. sponsored Atal
Incubation mission.
Many countries have started
introducing Artificial Intelligence
(AI) Coding etc, in the curriculum.
What initiatives is the Manipal
University Jaipur undertaking to
make students competent with the
emerging technological trend?
manipal University Jaipur has always been
committed to provide knowledge to students
about emerging technological trends by
introducing the new concepts in the curriculum.
to enhance coding and problem solving, we
have started Acm coding club which meets
regularly on week-ends. the common problems
found in contests (hackathons, online contests
etc.) are discussed. many of these problems
can be solved using different methods through
the illustrations and comparison of varied
parameters by deliberations.
Similarly, during various tech events like
tech-Ideate (annual tech fest), Acm Student
chapter Annual Event, IEEE Student Branch
Activities, online contests and hackathons form
a major part of the events. A number of 24 hour
coding contests and gaming events are held to
test the students innovative and problem solving
skills.
As part of project based learning which
emphasizes on hands-on learning, students
are encouraged to look around for problems
confronted by them. they are then helped by
the faculty mentors to arrive at practical and
feasible solutions and demonstrate through
rapid prototypes or virtual models using many
modelling and simulation tools like mAtLAB,
comSoL and cAtIA. to solve the complex
problems and arrive at solutions, super
computers like pARAm ShAvAK with power of
3+ teraflops are available to the students.
to evolve quick solutions, a variety of
platforms are available to the students in
state-of-the-art Internet of things (Iot) lab
