Entrepreneurship and Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) form the core indicators of the developed world and India
is lagging in both of them. A critical issue in this context in India is the profound lack of good Technology/Scientific
Entrepreneurship programs, even though a few institutions have taken up early initiatives in this regard recently.
This paper offers the curriculum for a comprehensive program in entrepreneurship in the Technology and Scientific
areas at Bachelor‟s and Master‟s levels. The curriculum is aimed at enhancing the knowledge, skills and attitudinal
profiles of the students. Besides offering both good breadth and depth of materials, the curriculum provides an
extensive list of electives also. The curriculums are embellished with courses that expose the students to actual
entrepreneurship practices both in-house and external environment. Several types of projects, besides a
comprehensive capstone project, are tailored so that students gain practical experience in running a company by
actually working with experts and real entrepreneurs.
