Student teams of 4-5 members address specific business issues similar to other ELP projects. This two-credit course follows all the guidelines of ELP. Student entrepreneurs are the ‘Clients’ and therefore, cannot be part of the team. They can, however, be part of another ELP student team for a different client. The ELP fee is waived for these projects. For eligibility, enterprises have to be operational and the student entrepreneur should be actively involved in the functioning of the business in the capacity of proprietor/partner. Student entrepreneurs are required to send in their project briefs as per timelines shared by PGP Projects. Final selection of projects is at the discretion of the PGP Projects department. Family businesses will not be considered for STEP.
