Can Universities become the Next Gen Startup Garages?

Can Universities become the Next Gen Startup Garages?

Interesting Argument ain’t it? I often hear people telling “Entrepreneurship can’t be taught inside the closed doors of a classroom”. On the other side I strongly believe that Entrepreneurship can be learnt inside the gates of a university!

Here comes the tricky part. How? You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make one drink. How can I refrain from thinking “leaders are not born but made”?. Colleges like BITS and IITs have started incubation centers, courses, e-cells and started encouraging students to startup but I genuinely doubt how flexible their academic rules can be to encourage entrepreneurship. At the same time one couldn’t stop appreciating such initiatives. Other colleges – I would say Jobs, Placements, Exams, GRE, GATE blah blah are not the only ones students should be encouraged at. How about job creation? “Wake up to the times”.
