Bennett University set up the Centre for Innovation & Entrepreneurship (CIE) in collaboration with Babson College, the global destination for quality entrepreneurship education. Mandated to fostering an environment of innovation and entrepreneurial spirit on campus, CIE promotes specifically targeted courses and activities aimed at students across the campus. The collaboration seeks to promote cooperation both in curricular and faculty development, with a focus on developing entrepreneurship as a way of life on par with global standards.

Whatever steps an academic institution may take towards entrepreneurship development, nothing beats the charm and impact of a student-led Entrepreneurship Cell on campus. SPARK is a notable example of such a Cell. Reasons for SPARK's popularity are not hard to imagine; from the highly exciting real-life entrepreneur story sessions to off-campus start-up visits, there is no dull moment at SPARK. Apparently, SPARK core team has been smart in choosing entrepreneurs and enterprises of the right kind. Such talks and visits add tremendous value to the classroom inputs.
