## Spoilers
### Premise and setting
The story is set at De Nobili High School and follows eight students: the boys Hardik, Raunak, Toto, and Ibrahim, and the girls Ranchi, Alia, Priyanka, and Zoya. They contend with peer pressure on one side and parental expectations on the other, while managing their own fears and conflicts.[5](https://theenvoyweb.com/reviews/class-of-2020-review-clash-of-expectations/) The official synopsis describes a coming-of-age drama in which the students face confusions, love and desires, and choices and dilemmas, learning from their mistakes.[4](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/51672/class-of-2020)
The subject matter is more explicit than in most school dramas. Synopses describe the teenagers as exploring their sexuality and experimenting with alcohol, drugs, and smoking under peer pressure, wanting to look cool and be noticed by the popular crowd.[3](https://www.indianfilmhistory.com/web-series/class-of-2020) A review in IndiaForums noted that at certain points the depiction of drugs and sex comes across as stereotypical, though the plot and characters hold the story together.[6](https://www.indiaforums.com/article/alt-balajis-class-of-2020-a-potpourri-of-friendship-heartbreak_159940)
