• Badrinath (Badri for short): He is one of the main characters of the show. He's the clever one, always coming up with sneaky ideas to make others fail at things he wants for himself. Despite his mischievous nature, he's loyal to his friendship. He hates studying and going to school-better known as Apna School. Most of the time, he's busy playing Mega Robot, a space video game where he battles aliens. With his messy hair and short stature, he's easy to spot. He is voiced by Pooja Punjabi.

• Budhdeb (Budh for short): Budhdeb is the other main character of the show. Like Badrinath, he’s loyal to his friends and also hates studying or going to school. Sometimes, he struggles to understand things logically and needs basic understanding. His signature catchphrase is “Ekdum Lallantaap!!” (which means “Very Fantastic!”), and even Badrinath uses it now and then. Just like Badri, He too loves playing Mega Robot. He is voiced by Sonal Kaushal.

• Jeeva: Jeeva is a bully and the plumpest boy in class-by both volume and ambition. He speaks with a lisp that somehow makes threats sound scary. Occasionally, he bullies Badrinath and Budhdeb, mostly as payback for all the pranks and jokes they crack about him. Jeeva thinks he’s a powerhouse, but in reality, he’s more of an awkward. However, he’s Mr. Dubey(their class teacher)’s favorite student.

• Gyan: Gyan Singh is the most intelligent student in the class. He always gets the first position, and is the class topper. He gets tricked by Badrinath and Budhdeb though being a sometime-friend of them. Even the teachers get surprised by his knowledge.

• Sabina: Sabina is the monitor of the class. She is very sincere, responsible and wears glasses. She is Gyan's best friend.

• Dubey: Dubey Ji is the class teacher of Badri and Budh's class. He is quite fat, strict and lazy. He always punishes Badrinath and Budhdeb by making them murga (transl. Rooster) when they act worse or crack jokes in the class or anywhere in the school.

• Rathi: Makkhan Singh Rathi is the principal of Apna School. He has a tall and thin frame. He loves trophies and urges students to get trophies for the school. He comes to school in a yellow car. His dialogue is Aakhir Principal Hai Hum! (transl. After All I'm The Principal!). Ocasionally, he can be lenient or strict. He saves Badrinath and Budhdeb mainly on a coincidence from getting punished by Dubey sir or for other reasons.
