The National Sharia Economic Competition (NSEC) is an annual event held by KSEI FRESH UIN Raden Mas Said Surakarta.

NSEC consists of three categories: Islamic Economic Olympiad, Essay Competition, and Poster Competition. NSEC participants come from various universities, including Padjajaran University, Brawijaya University, Raden Intan State Islamic University of Lampung, and others. This year's NSEC carries the theme "The Role of Rabbani Economists in Realizing Inclusive Digitalization of the Sharia Economy."
NSEC is implemented in several stages. The preliminary stage is conducted online through Zoom Meeting and Quizizz with individual assignments. The semifinal stage is conducted online through Zoom Meeting with a Quiz Scheme. The final stage is conducted offline at the UIN Raden Mas Said Surakarta campus on September 26-27, 2023, with case studies.
