WHY NEC?
Why NEC?
LEAD College believes a business school should produce job creators, not just job seekers. NEC puts that belief into practice. It is part of LEAD’s larger move from a B-School (Business School) to an E-School (Entrepreneurial School), where students are encouraged to build ventures while they study.
Starting a business in India now has strong support from government, institutions and industry. NEC turns that support into a clear, guided path for young people who want to build a business.
