Really? Are you serious? Killing all the 'fire' and desire to succeed which is essential factor for the success of any venture? Come on!
I think for any startup the deciding factor is the 'fire' - when don't have much to fall back on and have the desire to go on even during the odds will contribute a lot to your success. If IIT really wants to help students build startups, then they should give them free time to work on their projects. If Google can give their employees 20% of their time to work on their own projects; why can't IITs? Create an environment and role models to inspire engineering graduates to start up! What do you think?
