Seven students in a single Nellore classroom. Today, six lakh learners every day. Narayana was built on one stubborn idea — that ambition should never be limited by a postcode.
One classroom in Nellore, compounded over forty‑seven years. The reach is national; the conviction is still the one we started with.
Schools, junior colleges and coaching centres, the largest K‑12 network of its kind in India.

Cities, from metros to district towns

In 1979, Dr. P. Narayana opened a door in Nellore and seven students walked through it. Everything since has been an argument for what happens when you refuse to lower the bar.
Dr. P. Narayana, then a part‑time lecturer, opens a coaching centre in Nellore, Andhra Pradesh. The register has seven names on it.
The model proves itself across Andhra Pradesh. Junior colleges follow the coaching centres, and the integrated method — board syllabus plus competitive prep — takes shape.
Narayana becomes a household name for JEE and NEET preparation. Students from across India relocate to sit in its classrooms.
The CBSE school network expands to 23 states. eKidz, eChamps and eTechno are authored — a curriculum that grows with the child rather than the exam calendar.
nLearn and nConnect go live. Lessons, tests, analytics and parent communication move onto one platform — and stay there long after the classrooms reopen.
One of the largest single‑year expansions in Indian schooling: 52 new campuses opened across 12 states, most of them in cities that had never had a school of this standard.
Asia’s largest education network still runs on the sentence it started with: your dreams are our dreams.
See the programmesA child at five and a child at seventeen need entirely different things from a school. So we stopped pretending one curriculum could serve both.
Pre‑primary · Ages 3–6
Child‑centric by design. Safe, hygienic, colour‑soaked spaces where the first years of school feel like play — because at this age, play is the syllabus.
Primary · Ages 6–11
The foundation years. Experiential and activity‑based, with hands‑on projects and tech‑enabled lessons that build conceptual understanding rather than recall.
Middle & Secondary · Ages 11–16
CBSE depth kept fully intact, with link concepts woven in to lay real IIT‑JEE and Olympiad groundwork. Academic rigour, mental wellness and competitive exposure held in balance.
Grades XI–XII · JEE · NEET · CA · Civil Services
Where four decades of competitive‑exam craft become a daily routine: micro‑schedules, weekly assessment, and a mentor who knows exactly which chapter is costing you marks.
CBSE, state board and competitive‑exam syllabi are not taught as three separate things. They are authored into one sequence, so a concept learned for the board exam is the same concept that answers a JEE question.
eKidz, eChamps, eTechno and Senior Secondary — four distinct programmes, each matched to a developmental stage rather than a convenient grade band.
Every subject is broken into micro‑schedules that pace comprehension concept by concept. Nobody is asked to move on before the ground underneath them is solid.
A full‑time academic research team authors personalised study plans from pre‑primary through higher secondary, and rewrites them as boards and entrance patterns shift.
One dedicated mentor per student, who calls the student and the parents every two weeks — not to report marks, but to find the problem before it becomes a pattern.
nLearn, digital classrooms and performance analytics that make progress visible — to the teacher, to the student, and to the family at home.
50,000+ teachers and staff. The word we use internally is family, and the Adoption Calling programme is what stops that from being a poster on a wall.
Four platforms that carry the classroom home — and carry the home back into the classroom.
Question‑led practice built around four loops — Learn with video tutorials and concept cards, Test with timed weekend mocks, Practice with customised solution sets, and Performance analytics that isolate speed, accuracy and rank.
An in‑house app for seamless parent–school communication. Attendance, assessments, fees, circulars and mentor notes in one thread.
Build, break, debug, repeat. Robotics labs where abstract STEM turns into something a child can hold in their hands.
Every room a smart room — visual, interactive, and recorded so a missed lesson is never a lost one.
CBSE Class X and XII, 2026. Real names, real marks — the outcome of an ordinary Tuesday repeated a few hundred times.
“The structured curriculum and constant support at Narayana helped me stay focused throughout the year. Regular tests, detailed feedback, and dedicated teachers made a huge difference.”

Structured across every year group, for physical well‑being and — just as deliberately — for the break from academics that makes the academics work.
Trained counsellors on campus to counter negativity and give timely guidance — before a hard week becomes a hard year.
A dedicated programme in public speaking, collaboration and personality development — the part of the CV no board exam grades.
Our founder started with a sentence, not a business plan: every child deserves the same standard of teaching, whether their family can afford a metro or not. Forty‑seven years and 950 campuses later, it is still the only KPI that matters.
250+ cities across 23 states. Tell us where you are and we will point you at the right campus, the right programme and the right person to speak to.
Book a campus visit, sit in on a live class, and meet the mentor who would be calling you every fortnight.
