Lucknow — The Narayana Group, one of India’s most respected educational institutions, has expanded its academic footprint in North India by launching a state-of-the-art coaching center in Gomti Nagar, Lucknow. The newly inaugurated facility is designed to provide comprehensive coaching for IIT-JEE, NEET, Olympiads, and Foundation-level courses, leveraging modern infrastructure and a data-driven, digital learning approach.
The launch event was held at CP-4, Viraj Khand, near Hanuman Chauraha, where parents, students, educators, and community leaders gathered to witness the opening. The ceremony included a traditional lamp-lighting and ribbon-cutting, followed by inspiring speeches from key members of the Narayana Group leadership team.
Visionary Leadership at the Helm
P. Sharani, Director of the Narayana Group, in her keynote address, highlighted the importance of bringing quality education to cities like Lucknow. “This new center is not just a coaching institute; it’s a platform where students will dream big and get the right tools and mentorship to realize those dreams,” she stated.
Adding to the vision, Dr. P. Pramila, Academic Director, emphasized a more holistic approach to education. “Our goal is not limited to helping students crack exams. We want to mentor them for life, offering personal guidance, digital tools, and emotional support,” she noted.
Academic Excellence on Display
The center’s launch comes on the heels of Narayana’s impressive results in national entrance exams. Shyam Bhushan, National Academic Head, shared, “In NEET 2025, two of our students achieved Top 10 All India Ranks, with over 1,200 students entering top government medical colleges. Similarly, five Narayana students were among the Top 10 in JEE Advanced 2025, with over 5,000 students qualifying—more than 50 gaining admission to IIT Bombay and Delhi. We now aim to replicate this success in Lucknow.”
A Model for the Future
Rakesh Yadav, Vice President, highlighted the group’s forward-thinking strategy: “We are introducing the South India C.O. batch model to Uttar Pradesh for the first time. This combines rigorous academic training with a focus on personality development, giving our students an edge not just in exams, but in life.”
The event also featured an in-depth presentation on Narayana’s Digital Learning Model, covering its advanced curriculum design, low student-teacher ratios, smart testing mechanisms, and performance tracking technologies. An interactive Q&A session with students and parents helped address their queries, building trust in the institution’s methodology.
Strengthening Roots in the North
With a legacy of 46 years in education and a presence in 800+ centers across India, the Narayana Group currently mentors over 6.5 lakh students nationwide. The Lucknow launch not only extends their commitment to excellence but also marks a significant step in their expansion across North India.
As academic aspirations grow in tier-2 cities like Lucknow, the arrival of the Narayana Group is poised to raise the bar for coaching excellence, combining traditional values with cutting-edge educational practices to empower India’s next generation of achievers.
