ABOUT CLI
Commerce, skills, careers, technology and entrepreneurship — under one roof.
CLI is not a coaching institute. Since 2015 we've been building Jharkhand's most trusted commerce education ecosystem — student-first, mentor-led, and career-driven.
WHO WE ARE
Ranchi's commerce leadership ecosystem.
A single ecosystem covering Class 11 & 12 boards, CA Foundation, CUET, skill workshops, internships and a startup initiative — designed for the next generation of business leaders.
OUR STORY
Built for the student, not the coaching factory.
CLI began in 2015 with a simple observation — Jharkhand's brightest commerce students were being pushed into over-crowded coaching halls with no mentorship, no skills and no career visibility. We built the opposite: small batches, real mentors, integrated skill workshops and firm internships, and a hybrid delivery that respects each student's pace.
Ten years, two campuses and 300+ students later, CLI is Jharkhand's most trusted name in commerce education — the place parents send their kids when the outcome actually matters.
- Student-first since 2015
- Board + CUET + CA Foundation
