Selection process
The selection process begins with an online application on the SIIC IIT Kanpur incubation portal. Applicants submit details including DPIIT status, team background, technology description, market opportunity, financials, and a comprehensive spending plan. A pitch deck and a detailed project proposal are essential.
Submitted applications go through an initial screening by the SIIC team. Shortlisted candidates then face interviews and presentations to a selection committee comprising experts from SIIC, Engineers India Limited, and relevant industry fields. They evaluate innovation depth, technology feasibility, market fit, team capability, and likely impact.
Due diligence checks – including verification of DPIIT recognition and provided documents – follow. Final selection weighs research alignment with program goals, technology maturity (TRL), business scalability, and execution potential. Successful groups sign a funding agreement and enter the incubation program with financial disbursement tied to milestones.
