National Entrepreneurship Challenge E-Cell IIT Bombay

About National Entrepreneurship Challenge E-Cell IIT Bombay

Vision:

Created with the idea of developing entrepreneurship from grassroots, we plan to promote entrepreneurship among the younger generation of the country and make sure that youngsters don’t feel that starting up a company is rocket science. National Entrepreneurship Challenge plans to develop entrepreneurship developing bodies in each student campus of India. It is the first-of-its-kind PAN-India competition.

What is NEC?

Entrepreneurship Cell is essential for any college because it develops students’ entrepreneurial spirit, which we believe is instrumental for our country to develop. NEC is the platform that helps colleges to build an actively functioning E-Cell. It’s a 6-month long competition where we guide students by giving them tasks that are essential for any Entrepreneurship Cell to work smoothly.

NEC Process:

In the 22 years of its development, E-Cell IIT Bombay has been through a lot of structural changes, vision amendments, and a lot of initiatives to manifest the latent entrepreneurial talent of the nation. NEC stands to boost up this process of building up a successful E-Cell for colleges across the nation through tasks. These tasks are just activities that we suggest an E-Cell must do to develop students’ entrepreneurial spirit.

We have divided colleges into basically 2 tracks:

Basic Track Intro: Sowing the Seeds of Entrepreneurship

The Basic track is for colleges that don’t have an active Entrepreneurship Cell functioning. Teams who are enthusiastic about spreading awareness about entrepreneurship and forming an Entrepreneurship Cell from scratch in their college/institution are invited to participate in this track. Minimum 5 team members are required for participation.

Advance Track Intro: Run your E-Cell as a Startup!

Join the NEC Advance track to take your E-Cell to unimaginable heights, if your college has an E-Cell, which can conduct events, workshops, and interactive sessions effectively that feed the entrepreneurial hunger in your institution. In that case, Advanced is the right track for you. It will help you in scaling up the level and reach of your events, and hence, it will enable you to establish a strong and active entrepreneurial community within and outside your college. Minimum 5 team members are required for participation.
