Institutional Innovation Councils (IIC) expected to play a critical role in driving the campus innovation and startup ecosystem at PHCET. The role of professors as members of the IIC is critical in this regard. They serve as a mentor or guide for young brains in their quest of innovation and entrepreneurship, and mentors must possess the necessary and appropriate mentoring abilities.
