STARTUP



Student Startup Innovation Policy (SSIP)

Government of Gujarat (GOG) has selected Gandhinagar Institute of Technology (GIT) as a Nodal Institute since July-2018 under Student Startup Innovation Policy (SSIP). The MOU has been signed between SSIP and GIT to utilize the SSIP grant and nurture the startup ecosystem at the institute. The objective is to promote innovation centric activities and develop the Startup Ecosystem in the institute and support the student innovations through mentoring and financial support.
