Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras has re-launched its MS programme with specialization in Entrepreneurship. Interested candidates can apply for admission till November 30, 2021.
Earlier, the department of Management Studies, IIT Madras, offered the MS Programme from 1982-83, which has now emerged as a benchmark amongst all the entrepreneurship-focused institutional programs.
However, the institute has now planned to offer the entrepreneurship program as a separate full-time course. All the selected scholars for the MS Programme in entrepreneurship will collaborate and work with faculty on ‘commercialisable ideas’. The first batch will begin classes from January 2022.
The faculty will instruct scholars to discover entrepreneurial opportunities and formally introduce start-ups through an effective combination of intense research supported by astute supervision, taught courses, and mentorship by highly accomplished entrepreneurs and others of the start-up ecosystem.
One of the selection committee members is Ashwin Mahalingam, who said the MS programme in Entrepreneurship will generate technology entrepreneurs who would ‘product-use’ these ideas and work on developing business plans around them.
He said that the authorities are hoping to alleviate the ‘lab to market’ transition of technologies, grow entrepreneurs, who'd have significant societal impact.
