Maharaja Surajmal Inter College

We are situated in the Raja Mandi area of Agra, which is a very busy part of the city. Being an inter college, we deal with students who are getting ready for their final school years. The building itself has a lot of history to it and feels like it has been part of Raja Mandi forever. It’s a bit crowded around here with all the shops and people moving about outside. Inside our walls, it is a different story, though it still gets quite loud when the classes change. We have large rooms with high ceilings that help a bit with the Agra heat. The furniture is old-fashioned but sturdy. We don't go in for modern glass and steel; it’s all brick and plaster here. Our staff spends a lot of time on the paperwork that comes with being an inter college. You will often see students standing in groups near the entrance, talking about their upcoming exams or just hanging out. We have a small courtyard where we do the daily assembly. It’s a practical, no-nonsense kind of place. We don't have a lot of extra space, so every corner is used for something, whether it’s storing old records or a small lab setup. People in Agra know the name Maharaja Surajmal well. We just focus on keeping the doors open and the classes running as they should every day. The tea shop across the street is where many of us end up after work.
