Mangaluru: “As many as 16 students undergoing training at Center for Advanced Learning (CFAL) have been selected for the fellowships in the prestigious Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana(KVPY) 2017-18”, said Severine Rosario, Principal of CFAL.
She was addressing the media at a press meet at the premises of the CFAL institution here on Thursday April 12.
She said, Prathyush student of CAFL has secured 1st Rank in the state and 7th rank(AIR) in the country.
“This achievement by our students show that children in Mangalore have the caliber required for excelling in National level examinations- what they generally lack is strong conceptual understanding and proper guidance. CFAL Mangalore has been working to provide the right information and support and consequently, students have consistently been outperforming their peers in Bangalore and excelling in National-level examinations,” she said.
The Kishore Vaigyanik ProtsahanYojana (KVPY), one of the most prestigious examinations conducted in India is initiated and funded by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. The objective of this exam is to identify students with talent and aptitude for research; help them realize their academic potential; encourage them to take up research careers in Basic Science, and ensure the growth of the best scientific minds for research and development in the country. These examinations require analytical skills and logical thinking- rote learning or memorization will not yield results. CFAL has a progressive record of nurturing Kishore Vaigyani Scholars year after year with highest percentage, selections and ranks and thestudents have consistently attained the top ranks in Mangalore. Prominent among them are Sumith (AIR – 7 in 2013-14), Kenrick Pinto (AIR – 16 in 2015-16).
CFAL has the best results in Mangalore in all STEM related examinations including JEE, NTSE, KYPY, OLYMPIADS etc. The outstanding results of our students proves that given the right learning environment, children from the region can match or even outperform their peers from the Tier 1 cities. While rote-learning and learning for the sake of marks characterizes many institutions in the region, passion and excellence in the subject is what CFAL aims to attain. The outcome is deep understanding of the subject and excellent performance in exams. The vision of CFAL is to inculcate interest in basic sciences and to encourage research and innovation in the field of Math and Science.
