The Institution’s Innovation Council (IIC) program was launched in 2018 by the Ministry of Education (MoE) in collaboration with AICTE to foster innovation and entrepreneurship in Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs). The Bengal Institute of Technology (BIT) established its own council (IIC-BIT) in the same year and actively promotes innovation among students through seminars, workshops, debates, training sessions, and other entrepreneurship development programs. It encourages students to develop critical skills and thinking power. IIC-BIT also organizes idea competitions and hackathons to showcase various innovative projects and prototypes by the students.  The council also provides incubation support for promising startups. Additionally, IIC-BIT facilitates industry collaboration through visits, guest lectures, and expert interaction sessions to expose students to real-world challenges and best practices.
