Seventeen students from NCFE CV Raman Nagar were selected for the Young Entrepreneurs’ Bootcamp (YEB) 2026 at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, held from 18–23 July 2026. They earned their places through a competitive essay-writing and group discussion process, from a pool of 30 NCFE applicants.

Six days of learning beyond the classroom

The residential bootcamp introduced students to design thinking, artificial intelligence, robotics, entrepreneurship, business strategy, digital marketing and startup pitching. Hands-on activities and expert mentoring gave them opportunities to explore ideas, work together and present their thinking.
