CUSAT TBI
CITTIC
CITTIC is the first university-centric student TBI in the state. The 4000 sq ft space offers an
excellent environment for our faculty and students who have brilliant ideas or research output
which
may eventually be commercialized.
Incubation facilities include air-conditioned co-working
space, a
high-speed wifi network, meeting rooms, and other amenities for a low fee.
With the
objective
of
promoting the entrepreneurial culture among students from the start of their study programmes to
change their mindset from job seeker to job provider, CITTIC regularly organises entrepreneurial
awareness programmes and expert talks to create a culture of innovation and spread the spirit of
start-up and entrepreneurship.
Among the events organised by CITTIC on the campus, the most
notable
ones include CUSAT INNOVATE, MAKER WEEKEND, HACKATHONS, ENTREPRENEUR-SHIP AWARENESS CAMP (EAC),
etc.
CUSAT has implemented the Student Entrepreneurship policy by which students registering start-ups
