Balaji College

Balaji College operates out of the Ganga Bai High School Campus on Chani Road in Vadodara. It is a shared space, which means it’s always busy with people of different ages. Our part of the campus is pretty basic. We have the classrooms we need and a small office area for the paperwork. Chani Road is a well-known part of the city, and the 390002 area is easy to get to by public transport. We don't have a huge standalone building with a big gate. It’s more of a community feel since we are on the high school grounds. The college day starts early and we try to get through the lectures before the afternoon heat gets too bad. Vadodara can be quite dusty, so we are always dusting off the benches and windows. It isn't a polished corporate institution. We are just a local college. There is a lot of chatter in the hallways during break times. Sometimes we have to deal with power cuts or a leaky tap, just like any other building in the neighborhood. We don't have a big team for PR or anything like that. We just do our work and the students do theirs. It’s a functional place that serves the people living around Chani Road. Most of our students are from the nearby residential colonies.
