The placement officers of various colleges have noticed a growing interest amongst students to start their own ventures.

With a growing number of graduating students moving away from the conventional job sector towards start-ups, colleges too are taking the lead in guiding students the right way.

With ideas brimming among students, many colleges are busy setting up entrepreneurship cells and organizing start-up workshops to make sure that students are abreast of all the information that they need for their personal ventures.

“Entrepreneurship is not as easy as it seems, but over the years, more students are showing interest in it and our career development cell is on it, through the year,” said Dinesh Panjwani, principal, RD National College, Bandra. He added that various sessions including interactive dialogues with those who are doing well in their chosen career path are organized through the year.

“Something as basic as your attire while approaching investors or finding the right partner are things we focus on and students are very appreciative of such programs,” he added.

Millionminds, a start-up support platform has been working with over 500 colleges across the country since 2016 in order to bring students, industry experts, and investors under one roof.
