Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Faculty in the campus mainly imparts the technical knowledge and also helps us to think more innovatively to create new things. They support students to think in a wider way rather than thinking in the same conventional way everyone thinks. The Microsoft Innovation center serves the students to a great extent in sharing the ideas and work on different projects. Faculty also try to involve themselves in different projects and boost the student for Innovation. To raise the standards of teaching in GIET, faculty were sent to IIT Madras under FDP(Faculty Development Program) to inculcate new methodologies which improves the ambieance in the classroom teaching .

University Technology Transfer Function

The college is equipped with a Student team called “ INNOGEN”. This INNOGEN works as a Technical Wing of Student Activity

Council. In this students work on their own technical projects and incubate a product based on the marketing strategies. Three best projects will get resources to design it from Industries. Once the product is designed, it is incubated by the industries. Depending upon the negotiation, the students get shares in the sales of the product. There is a new program launched named Student Activity Council(SAC). Students need a new environment where they can grow their interpersonal skills and their technical skills parallelly. SAC stood as the best platform for satisfying their needs.

University-Industry Collaboration

It is very essential for a Student to know to what extent does his academic knowledge help him in his job. Many of the students will have the same doubt. This can be eliminated with the “University-Industry collaboration”. GIET is equipped a much with the Industrial Collaborations. It has been conducting seminars and conferences with the most successful entrepreneurs all over the world. For which it has been hosting HR Summits, where HR managers of different MNC’s come under one roof to interact with the students and answer their queries.

GIET rooted the path of new pavements for the industrial fields with the centers of excellence namely

Virtusa Center of Excellence
Dassualt Center of excellence
Aveva Center of Excellence
Hebeon Incubation Center
Microsoft Innovation Center

These ensure students to work on their desired aspects in Industries. It provides the backgrounds of discipline and enables students to tackle problems at the intersection of Industries and Technology.

Regional and Local Economic Development

GIET, being a most vibrant college in the aspect of Regional and Local development with the most active tool “National Service Scheme”, it creates awareness among the citizens of Rajahmundry with its service. Recently it has conducted a rally on “ Cashless Transactions “ to check the most burning problem of India, the Demonetisation. As the college is in its Budding stage in Entrepreneurship, it is rarely contributing to the Regional and Local Economic Development.
