The academic philosophy at CL revolves around its students. Students come to CL with a dream to achieve an academic goal. The dedicated counselors and faculty at CL only help them realize their strengths and weaknesses and chart out a path accordingly to reach their objective. The goal-setting process forms the core of academic delivery in any CL program. The faculty at CL work as facilitator rather than a teacher. They mentor, guide and assist learning. The central research and development team designs and validates each program with a pilot batch of students before the program is launched in CL. The study material is prepared and continually updated in-house at the Phi Lab applying Instructional Design theories. In a typical academic year, highly qualified subject experts put in over 30,000 hours of work, refer to over 1000 books and more than 70,000 pages of content and create distinct copyrighted content for the various programs of CL. Our expert mentors and faculty are qualified engineers, eminent professors, PhDs and management graduates from prestigious institutes such as IITs, IIMs, NITs and other top-notch universities. They continue to go through rigorous training, brainstorming and analysis sessions at our training school - the Inner Circle. They challenge themselves by taking various entrance examinations each year.
