History
Aiming to integrate the practice and academic aspects of entrepreneurship in IIT Kharagpur, the school was established in 2010, and was later named after Late Professor Rajendra Mishra, who was one of the founders of IIT Kharagpur in 1951. It was set up with generous grants from IIT Kharagpur alumni, including the sons of late Professor Mishra - Devendra Mishra and Amarendra Mishra, who also are the alumni of IIT Kharagpur. In 2017, the school has joined hands with Pepperdine University of the United States to boost the entrepreneurship initiative and technological knowledge exchange.[3]
Facilities
Besides classroom education, the school aims to provide practical experience as well as seed funding to its students. The seed funds are arranged either by grants from the alumni, or by grants from the Government of India. Each student of the school is provided two mentors, one from within the institute and one external mentor, usually an established entrepreneur. The school building within the IIT Kharagpur campus also houses incubators.[4]
