Maya Group Of Colleges

Down on NH 72, Chakrata Road in Selaqui, you’ll find the Maya Group Of Colleges. It’s a bit of a drive from the main Dehradun city center, located in the industrial area where things feel a little more spread out. The air is slightly different here, especially when the weather starts to change in the hills. The campus is right by the highway, so you get a lot of buses and trucks passing by all day long. Students come from all over, some staying in the nearby hostels and others commuting from the city. It’s a large enough place that you see a lot of different faces every morning. We spend a lot of time keeping the grounds tidy, though the dust from the road is a constant battle. The classrooms are standard, and we have the usual labs and library spaces that you’d expect. It isn't a silent place; there’s always the sound of students talking or someone moving equipment around. We don’t try to be something we’re not. It’s a functional space where people come to get their education done. The winter mornings here are quite cold, and you’ll see everyone wrapped in sweaters while they wait for the first bell. We focus on getting through the syllabus and making sure the exams go off without any trouble. It’s a busy life for the staff and the students alike, keeping everything running on this side of Dehradun.
