The Learning Centre Kotekani Mangalore

Centre for advanced learning (CFAL) is a community of students, teachers and parents that was established in 2009 to educate students, parents and the larger community about engineering entrance examinations and scholarship examinations.Prior to the establishment of CFAL, the success rate of students from Mangalore getting into IITs, and other premier institutions like IISc or NITs, was abysmally low. Although there were a lot of educational institutions in the region, the general perception was that getting into premier institutions was extremely difficult, if not impossible. CFAL sought to change this mindset head-on.Since that start in 2009, CFAL has seen tremendous success. In 2011, CFAL had the highest student selections in Mangalore for IIT and AIEEE entrance exams as well as in the National Talent Search Exam (NTSE). This is impressive considering that it was our first batch and we had only 30 students!
