SJCE-STEP was established in the year 1985 and has been involved in the activities like, Entrepreneurship Development, Skill Development Programme, Escort Services & etc., SJCE-STEP has promoted about 135 entrepreneurs in & around Mysore. The late nineties saw an unprecedented growth of the IT sector. Technocrat entrepreneurship was at its peak during this period with the establishment of several start-up companies in the IT services area. Most of the start-up units were faced with the problems of finding a suitable facility for operations, finding & retaining manpower and funding for research & development activities, which called for huge funding. To address these issues and expose the student community to IT scenario, SEED-Software Entrepreneurs & Employees Development was established with the support of Ministry of SSI and ARI, Government of India and Department of I.T & B.T, Government of Karnataka to provide the support like Incubation, R & D, Pre-Incubation & H.R.D

The HRD program, which was an essential wing of the SEED, was commenced with the establishment of training centers offering training in java, visual Basic, C, C++ and in the areas like MCSE, Bioinformatics. The R&D wing of the project, Software Development Competency Center, was established in 2004 with a view of providing the much-needed R&D support not only to the SEED entrepreneurs but to the IT industry of the region and the student community as well.
