Our college has a nice, green campus.

Placements: I'm not really sure about placements as I'm in my first year. Ask your seniors. Don't worry too much. The architecture department is different from engineering. I'm just trying to fill in stuff because this website is not satisfactory, so bear with me.

Infrastructure: We have Wi-Fi, a library, a small playground, and a badminton court in the engineering block. The hostel is actually nice. There are 2 hostels. One with a kind of bigger room and South Indian food, and the other with North Indian food. There are two people in one hostel room. The food in Kutira is good.

Faculty: Teachers in our college will support you.

Other: Our college has conducted very few fests but we do have a few programmes for us most of the time. We have clubs. Architecture is architecture. You should know better. Don't stress too much. You'll know everything once you join the college, as I'm still trying to figure things out.

This college does not have bus facilities.

Placements: One of my seniors has established a firm and it is going well. Few of the teachers worked at big architectural firms.

Infrastructure: In this college, computer laboratories are provided. It has free Wi-Fi with projectors in each classroom. It has a very useful library with everything related to the subject. Hostel facilities and food are top-notch. The campus is filled with evergreen trees so, there is a lot of shade and wind.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and supportive. Most of them help students with difficulties. The teaching quality is not up to the mark but it is manageable. Some curriculum is not relevant, such as the assignments of the English subject. Around 95% of students manage to pass the semester exams, and only those who do not pass are the ones who are very irregular to this college and do not submit their work.

Other: I was inspired by an architect when my parents were building a house. The work seemed very interesting and there is an atmosphere of being a boss of their own as students handle their own projects.

I recommend you join this college. Faculty members are amazing.

Placements: I am currently studying in the college, so I do not know the percentage of students who got placed from our batch. I have enquired from seniors and faculty regarding placements, and they said placements in our college are good. An internship is a part of academics in VTU board. So you will get good exposure to the job.

Infrastructure: Hostel rooms available are not spacious enough for architecture students. Otherwise, all the facilities, like studios, classrooms, etc., are good. Our college also provides a spacious library, computer lab, auditorium and cafe. Our campus is lush green, well maintained and sustainable. Overall, it is a good place to study.

Faculty: Faculty members in our college are excellent, and most of them are professionals. They are very well qualified and knowledgeable. They provide systematic academic planning, a number of case studies and documentation, which help students get more practical knowledge about the course. Projects assigned to the students are realistic, which makes the students more prepared.

Other: I have chosen this course because architecture is a combination of science, art and creativity. Besides you get to visit many places during the course.

Worth doing masters in architecture in this college.

Placements: Neither our batch students nor our senior batch students had placements. 0% of the students got placed through college placements. Internships were also not provided by the college. Students had to search and do the internship for two months, and it was compulsory. Our college was not serious about the placements as none of the companies visited our college to offer placements and internships.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi facility was provided by the college, but sometimes we won't get it on some floors. There were studios lab and one computer lab for architecture branch. The library was good, and all the books were available with respect to the syllabus. For medical facilities, there was a first-aid room in the college. Sports facilities were also provided by the college. Canteen provides good and yummy food, and it was affordable. The quality of food served was great, especially Akki Rotti was tasty and values for money. Hostels were provided in the college, and the hostel rooms were good. There was a separate canteen for hostel students.

Faculty: Teachers in our college were very helpful, qualified, and well-knowledgeable. Their teaching quality was good. They use a board, PPTs, and interactions for teaching. Workshops and site visits were also conducted. Faculty to student ratio was 1:10. We don't get industry exposure. We had site visits since we were architecture students. We follow the course curriculum of VTU, and it was helpful for the future of students.

Other: Events like guest lectures and inter-college fest are held in our college. The campus crowd for masters in architecture was around 40 students. There are shopping malls, parks, and restaurants in the surroundings of our college. Scholarships are provided by the college for good performers. We had sports and dance clubs where students can associate with it and get participate in various events.

This college stands amongst the top in Bangalore. Provides good infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: Every student does a mandatory internship course for min 6 months and the job placement is independent and th college does not have placement although every passed out student is either working or pursuing Masters. The job and internship is based on cv and portfolio of students work done through the course.

Infrastructure: There are 2 blocks for architecture and has a 300 seater auditorium, open oat, heavy landscape, many studios and classrooms,3 elevators with fire exits, library, exhibition room, canteen, counselling room, indoor games area, basketball court, under the tree seating. The only issue is the elevators do not work all the time and the faculty can be partial towards few students.

Faculty: All the senior professors are practicing architects and the assistant professors are full time lecturers. Every subject has minimum of 2 lecturers and for design it can go upto 10 and the student teacher ratio for design is 1:10 max. Every subject has related site or case study visits and a study tour, with international and national study tours. The course if for 5 years and it can be hectic and lot of travelling is to be expected.

Other: Architecture block celebrates the Karnataka rajyotsava as a festival and a week full of festival known as spectrum week is celebrated with themes and stalls everyday. There is a bus stop nearby and is almost in the outskirts of the city with government. Transport facility. Not much hangout places nearby except yelahanka. Near to many other prestigious institutes. The college does not provide scholarships but does consider the government. And vtu scholarships. College transport is also available.
