How ED-cell is beneficial to the students?

Students get better idea of how business is conducted in real life. They get an exposure to live problems and how to go about solving them. ED-cell not only helps students who want to be entrepreneurs but also other students as life lessons of the real world are taught through e-cell.
Unplaced final year students can reap the benefits as well. These students can acquire various skills along with proper understanding of entrepreneurship and can start something of their own.
Various technical inventions and research business ideas could be funded once, ED-cell starts running in full fledge. This would be a major boost for EDC as it would enhance its reputation.
Live examples in the form of entrepreneur speakers will inspire students to fulfill their dream.
This will help EDC to become an organization where free flow of ideas takes place along with academic excellence. EDC will truly become a symbol of freedom and excellence. EDC can also become the alma mater of various entrepreneurs.
By participating in E-workshops in various colleges our students with their innovative ideas can win awards and increase the reputation of our college.
