Vaibhav is surprised to be selected for Maheshwari classes. Deepak, Batla Sir, and Jeetu Bhaiya address the selected students, including Vaibhav. Initially, Vaibhav refuses, having settled into Prodigy. However, Jeetu Bhaiya convinces him to join Maheshwari for its larger student body and better focus.
Vaibhav consults his parents, following Uday's advice, and decides to make the switch. Bidding farewell to friends Shivangi, Meena, Uday, and Vartika, Uday drops him off at Maheshwari. Vaibhav is allotted to A3, where he meets Sushrut, a nervous student from A7.
