The Systemic Challenge
Why Innovation in Institutions Remains Fragmented
Innovation limited to events
hackathons and competitions without systemic integration
01
02
Incubation centers underperform
low throughput, weak mentorship, no measurable outcomes
Low employability despite degrees
curriculum-industry gap continues to widen
03
04
Faculty lack innovation pedagogy
no structured training or design thinking frameworks
Technology adoption is fragmented
curriculum-industry gap continues to widen
05
06
Weak documentation for NAAC/NIRF
innovation efforts not captured in accreditation metrics
Without a clear framework, institutions risk falling behind NEP 2020 and losing relevance in a skill-driven economy.
