Shahu College of Engineering was established in the year 2013 under the umbrella of Chh. Shahu Maharaj Shikshan Sanstha. During the first 2 years, it was analysed that more than 80% students are coming from rural background and they lack in soft and technical skills. The principal and management of institute decided to work on skills and entrepreneurship development for students. In July 2015, “Center for Technical Skills and Entrepreneurship (CTSE)” was established with the aim to design and develop industry-ready training programmes and promote entrepreneurship among students by taking up industrial/social problems as student projects, which can be commercialized. Faculty members of CTSE started exploring industries and various organizations for association. Two faculty members were sent to EDI Ahmedabad for faculty development programme on “Entrepreneurship Development”. A strong connect is established with various academic institutions and industries. Till date 20 industry-ready training programmes are designed and developed, few of them are included as an open elective subject in the university curriculum. Four student start-ups are incubated and more than 10 projects have been implemented by students that has potential to be patented and commercialized. These projects grabbed various prizes at competitions, such as Bajaj Auto Bhartiya Yuva Shakti Trust (BABYST) Business Idea Competition, eYantra Ideas Competition, Mistubishi Electric Cup, Startup India Maharashtra Yatra, Avishkar Competition, etc. The rest of the case study summarizes success stories of start-ups incubated at CTSE and activities that helped to inculcate the entrepreneurial attitude among students.

At the beginning, the correlation between competition and innovation is dealt with. This shows the importance of competition for better ideas and workmanship. Later, the paper discusses the case study of CREATO: A Project Competition for Diploma Students of Gujarat State. For the same, later part of the paper indicates about student outreach and effectiveness of the competition among the diploma students of Gujarat.

In 1960s, it started at McMaster University situated in Canada and became an instructional approach where students learn by solving open-ended problems that are challenging in nature. Socially and contextually based teams of students are created and the problems that are authentic tasks are solved. The students “rely on their current knowledge of the problem; identify information they need to know to solve the problem; and decide the strategies they use to solve the problem”. Due to rigid curriculum developed by University to which given self-financed college is affiliated, implementation of PBL becomes a challenging task to undertake. The main reason being that there are many references that do not enlighten the issue of PBL but rather only focus upon importance and success stories of the given practice. To address this problem, in Silver Oak Group of Institutes, Ahmedabad, we have started implementing PBL by allocating openended problem to the group of second and third year engineering students of any branch and giving them timeline chart and other resources to solve such problems. To analyse the grading criteria of students, Problem Recognition, Organization Structure, Quality of the Work, Presentation Skills, and Learning Outcome-based Evaluation criteria were employed. The prediction of the student’s self-employability can be done by observing his/her entrepreneurial education and attitude. The knowledge gained through the studied matter should be able to reflect upon the skill set of the attendee, which should be the main aim while designing the curriculum for the any given course.

Every year, the student will upload a text document, list of modules of project, and zip file of source code of project in the ProjectSel application. If the student has developed project as Industrial Defined Projects, he/she would not need to upload a zip file. Next year the student selects a project from ProjectSel application and will implement one or more new modules of his selected project. If the student has selected a new project definition, then he has to get an approval from the university. Next year the student must be doing innovation of projects which his will be selected from web application or the student will create innovation in project which he created first time. New project definition of the student must be related to new start-up. Reviewer of the project will check all the things like documents, sourced code, and comment of source code of new project definition. ProjectSel applications have facilities for testing and implementation of project. ProjectSel has centre database for MySQL, MSSQL, etc. as well as servers like Tomcat, IIS, etc. ProjectSel is not only used for selection of project but also for testing and implementation of project.
