National Centre For Computing Techniques

We are on the second floor of the Bombay Flats. The address is 109 Nungambakkam High Road. It is right above the IOB and near the Ganpat Hotel. Most people use the hotel as a landmark to find us. You have to climb two flights of stairs to get here. The rooms are filled with the hum of computer fans and the clicking of keyboards. It is a bit of an older building so the corridors are narrow. We have rows of monitors and chairs that have seen better days. Students come in at all hours. Some are here for morning batches and some stay until late. We spend a lot of time explaining things and helping people with their screens. It is not a high-tech glass building. It is just a place to sit and learn. The windows look out onto the busy high road. You can hear the horns honking all day long. We keep a water cooler in the corner for the students. Sometimes the internet acts up and we all have to wait a bit. It is part of the job. We don't have a big shiny lobby or a fancy sign. Just a board downstairs and the name on the door. We focus on the practical side of things. Most of the staff has been here for years. We know the shortcuts and the common mistakes. It is just a regular school where people come to get things done.
