President IIC MESCOE

“The establishment of IIC at MESCOE gave us a ray of hope during the gloomy lockdown days (Oct 2020). We as a team had a lot to look up to when organizing various events defined by the MIC through the IIC 3.0 Calendar. Supporting such activities is a very constructive and timely step taken by the MIC. This has helped us develop the ecosystem of innovation and startup in our students. It is one of the best ways to interact with young minds and get a chance to mentor them. The culture of IPR (filing patents and copyrights) is also developing fast. ”
