Sizeable students in India struggle to get proper education due to a lack of information, guidance, financial reasons, among others. Every year, many talented students have to leave their studies due to some, or other problem. Education is crucial for the overall growth and development of a child as it opens doors to opportunities which then pave ways for a better quality of life. Ensuring a quality education for all is essential in creating a level playing field, a scenario where people can be judged based on their talent and hard work and not on other factors.

Organised by the alumnus of IITs, NITs and IIMs, NLCEE is a National Level Common Entrance Examination owned and administered by Edvizo, primarily to search talented candidates, extend maximum support to the unprivileged and provide scholarships to the deserved, so that more and more students can fulfill their dream of better education.
