Narayana group showing our ranks as theirs: Sri Chaitanya

Sri Chaitanya Educational Institutions has made it clear that their tie-up with Narayana Institutions leading to the ‘famous’ China (Chaitanya-Narayana) batch does not exist any longer. This batch used to bag most top ranks in the State and national entrance exams.

At a press conference here, Sri Chaitanya chairman B.S. Rao and academic director Sushma accused Narayana Institutions of “misleading” parents by claiming top ranks as theirs. They said Bhogi Suraj Krishna, the JEE (Main) topper this year, was a Sri Chaitanya student sent to the China batch. Four of the top five national rankers were from Sri Chaitanya, but Narayana Institutions was claiming the rank holders from even medical stream as theirs despite breaking of the tie-up, they said.

Mr. Rao alleged that the Narayana group was misleading parents asking them to admit their wards into their institutions and promising to send them to China batch. “We want to make it clear that there will no combined batch of both institutions,” he said.

He said the two groups had joined hands to give the best of education to talented students and ensure good performance of Telugu-medium students at the national entrance exams. “There is only one combined batch that will pass out next year and from this year, we are going our separate ways due to unethical practices followed,” Ms. Sushma said.
