NC Jain

The Naresh C. Jain School of Decision Science and Engineering has been made possible by a generous gift from Shri Naresh C. Jain (Department of Mechanical Engineering – 1967).

The School offers a Master of Technology and a Ph.D. program in Decision Science and Engineering with emphasis on practical learning and applied research.

The mission of the school is to train the technical manpower of this institute and beyond, in all aspects of people and process management through highly qualified and dedicated faculty.

Shri Naresh C Jain's journey had humble beginnings, supported by a full scholarship at BENCO. His dedication led him from Banaras to corporate leadership in the USA and eventually to founding his own ventures.

Looking back at his roots, he contributed to help the next generation of scientists, engineers, and managers through this school.

"I'm confident that the School of Decision Science and Engineering will become a global leader in producing excellent decision makers with professional integrity and values who will contribute to the progress of society."
