Merit Classes

Merit Classes is also found on Vit College Road in the Upper Indira Nagar-Bibvewadi area. We are located in Rajeev Gandhi Nagar, which is a place with a lot of narrow streets and local shops. It is a busy part of Pune, especially during the school and college hours. Our space is simple, with just the things we need to get through the day. We have some wooden benches and a few chairs for when people come to talk to us. The lighting is just regular tube lights that we turn on as soon as it gets a bit dark outside. We don't have a big reception area or anything like that; you just walk in and we are there. The noise from the street is always there, but it becomes like background music after a while. Most of our day is spent sitting with students and going over their assignments. We keep a small water cooler in the corner for everyone to use. The building isn't very new, but it is sturdy and keeps the rain out during the heavy Pune monsoons. We like being in this part of town because everything is close by, from the stationery shops to the small cafes where we get our snacks. It is a very grounded, local way of life. We have been here for a good stretch of time and know the rhythms of the street pretty well by now.
