Academic Year 2025-26: Inviting new schools to set up ALCs

NIAS - ALC
18-05-2023

NIAS ALCs have been set up in 70 schools across India, so far. We are now inviting the next set of about 15 schools to set up dedicated NIAS Advanced Learning Centers (ALC) for their students, during the next academic year. Schools are already interested; we will be closing registrations as soon as we reach the planned capacity of the next15 ALCs at private schools.

NIAS Advanced Learning Centers fill the needs of exceptionally quick learners who often get demotivated or feel underchallenged by the regular curriculum.

Such high-ability learners are identified through a rigorous selection protocol developed by the Education for the Gifted and Talented (EGT) group at National Institute of Advanced Studies, Bengaluru. The Advanced Learning Center provides curricular support, mentoring and guidance for the cohorts.

Since its inception in 2017, NIAS ALC has become an engrossing learning experience, which students eagerly look forward to. Children typically commence the ALC journey from Grades 6th or 7th onwards, and the mentoring continues for several years, until 12th grade.

Now, schools are invited to set up Advanced Learning Centers so that the gifted learners are supported at the school itself.
