LEAD – Shaping Futures. Building Legacies.
From a dream in 2010 to a premier institution today, discover the inspiring journey of LEAD College
The Dream Takes Shape
In 2010, a dream took shape in Palakkad—a dream to nurture leaders who would one day lead with courage, compassion, and competence. That dream was LEAD College of Management.
What began with a vision to create an MBA institution soon transformed into a story of resilience and hope. In its first year, 120 eager students joined hands with a young institution full of promise.
Overcoming Challenges
Regulatory hurdles meant the first cohort couldn't write their MBA examinations at LEAD. Out of those 120 students, 58 chose to stay, embracing the unknown with faith and belief in their mentors.
In an extraordinary gesture of kindness and commitment, the college offered those students free education, food, and accommodation. Together, they turned adversity into triumph.
First Ambassadors of Excellence
The 58 graduates completed their program with excellence and became the first shining ambassadors of LEAD's values — perseverance, empathy, and leadership.
From that defining moment, LEAD's journey was unstoppable. By 2012, the college had grown from 58 to over 360 students.
Accreditations & Recognition
LEAD earned AICTE approval, NAAC B++ and NBA accreditations, ISO 21001:2018 certification, GSAAA recognition, and proudly attained autonomy affiliated with the University of Calicut.
Every milestone reflects dedication, quality, and a steadfast vision for excellence.
New Chapter: MCA Program
With immense pride, LEAD steps into a new chapter — introducing the Master of Computer Applications (MCA) program with an approved intake of 120 students and along with that now it had been turned into LEAD College Autonomous.
MCA program blends technology, business knowledge, and innovation, empowering students to shape the digital future.
Eco-Friendly Campus & Excellence
The campus itself is a living ecosystem — nature-friendly, plastic-free, and powered by 85% solar energy. Students enjoy farm-fresh food, a modern gym, a swimming pool, and a 24x7 vibrant learning environment.
From humble beginnings to a hub of excellence, LEAD has grown not just in numbers, but in spirit, innovation, and heart.
