Abhyaas Junior College

In the middle of Balaji Nagar, which is a pretty crowded part of Kukatpally, stands Abhyaas Junior College. If you know Hyderabad, you know how busy this area gets with all the shops and apartments. We are right there in the thick of it. Our college is a place where students come for their intermediate years, mostly focusing on getting through those tough two years of study. The building is vertical, like most things in Kukatpally, and we use every bit of space we have for classrooms and labs. It’s a bit of a climb up the stairs sometimes. The staff is always around, either sitting in the small office or heading to a lecture. We don't have a giant playground or anything, but the students make do with the spaces they have. It’s a very functional way of doing things. You’ll hear the sounds of the street while you’re in class, but after a while, you just stop noticing. We spend a lot of time on paperwork and making sure everyone is prepared for the board exams. It’s a lot of routine—roll calls, lunch tiffins, and the rush to catch the bus after the final bell. We aren't trying to be anything other than a solid local college for the kids in Balaji Nagar and the rest of the 500072 area. It’s hard work, but we’ve been doing it this way for years now, just keeping the doors open for the next batch of students.
