Sure you would be thinking that entrepreneurship cannot be learned inside the gates of a university – so how does it matter which university do you attend. If someone has the ability to make a great product in his/her life – that person is going to do it anyway. Maybe! But entrepreneurship is a skill that is learnt slowly, with time. The last generation of successful entrepreneurs was no wonder dominated by college dropouts – but that time is changing now. Today’s entrepreneurs need to be much more than being an innovative individual. They are required to be researchers, intellectuals – in their respective field. And that is why institutions like BITS and IIT have started their own incubation centres with independent e-cells to encourage students to startup. So, if you want to be the next Mark Zuckerberg which university should you attend? Here’re top 7 options looking at the kind of Alumni (and dropouts) they have given to the world:
Gordon Moore (Intel), Danae Ringelmann (Indiegogo), Eric Schell (Indiegogo), Marc Tarpenning (Tesla Motors), Steve Wozniak (Apple)
Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Steve Ballmer (Microsoft), Bill Gates (Microsoft), Lloyd Blankfein (Goldman Sachs), Mark Pincus (Zynga)
