Regarding sports and cultural achievements, Kurukshetra University is the leading institution in the country. Two incubation centers (KUTIC and CIC) are established in the institute to foster the culture of innovation, encourage, inspire, and nurture young students by supporting them to work with new ideas and transform them into prototypes, and support potential entrepreneurs to build scalable and sustainable enterprises.
The growing preference for Engineering and Medical courses has led to a decline in students opting for Basic Sciences, raising concerns about a future shortage of researchers in these fields. To address this, such Conclaves were organized at Kurukshetra University from time to time during 2010, 2011, and 2020. Building on this success, the Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra again plans to host a two-day Science Conclave on February 4-5, 2025 on the theme ‘Amazing World of Science and Technology’ in collaboration with the Haryana State Council for Science, Innovation and Technology, Govt. of Haryana. The event aims to inspire school students, teachers, and academicians from Haryana to pursue careers in Basic Sciences. The conclave will bring together students, educators, researchers, and prominent scientists, alongside industrialists and entrepreneurs, to foster interaction and share insights on the latest advancements in Basic Sciences, academic pathways, career prospects, and admission processes. With an expected participation of around 2,000 attendees, including students (grades 9-12), teachers, and research scholars, this conclave promises to serve as a dynamic platform for scientific learning, awareness, and motivation.
