Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.) - Batch of 2030
4.4
Many people wish to join this college.
Placements: We have a batch of 44 students, and it's good. Most students are from the tricity only, and a few students are from outside. The package students get here is good enough, they get options in foreign countries, too, and no companies come here, it's all from the alumni network.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure gives a good feel of an architecture college that you'll enjoy. Good classrooms, but the first and second years don't have AC. After that, you'll get an AC studio. Wi-Fi is there, but don't rely on it. The hostel and canteen are good and very affordable. For college, you'll have to pay a semester fee. You have to pay Rs. 9000 per semester and Rs. 3000 or so examination fees. But count this too, the stationery costs 2-3 thousand or a maximum of 5 thousand for a semester. So you have to manage the expenses like sheet, Microns, Sunboard (model making), Colours, Glue, Sales (parallel bar, set square, architectural scale), Drafting table (you'll have to buy the most important).
Faculty: Faculty, in terms of study and knowledge, is very good. All senior coaches, 1-2 assistant teachers, too. The workload is enough, so be prepared. Here, all teachers are experienced and have good teaching techniques. Semester exams are not too tough. If you have studied well, you'll score good marks.
Other: The college surroundings are very good. You'll get everything in college, the market, food, and stationery. You can roam around and enjoy the place. But if you want to go outside. The college is in Chandigarh, a city that is peaceful and beautiful. So you have all the options you can take public transport, like cycle rental or public buses and roam around Chandigarh. Visit famous places near the college, you'll find many architecture-related things, a residential area and much more. About fees and all, hostel fees are Rs. 2700 (only stay)per semester, food is Rs. 3500-4200 varies per month (at the start, they take almost Rs. 10,000 for total for hostel security, all for the first time). After that, you'll have Rs. 2,700 for hostel stay and Rs. 4000 for one month's mess.

Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.) - Batch of 2027
4.2
A great place for my takeoff toward success.
Placements: It all depends on how much money you spend in college. Placement architecture is not something college gives you on a platter; you have to work hard to make a portfolio. Yes, guidance will be given to you by the faculty. But in a nutshell, you have to work by yourself.
Infrastructure: The college building is great—yes, a small, single-story building but designed by Le Corbusier—and the college infrastructure is great. Boys hostels are 3/5 infrastructural, but girls hostels are 5/5. Both hostels have occupancy rooms. You get good food, good rooms and some good seniors as well.
Faculty: All the faculty are helpful and nice. College is in itself a knowledge-boosting place. It is also well maintained and very good. Exams come from PU. Exams are not very difficult; the average student can pass them. The curriculum is according to the guidelines given by the Council of Architecture, India.
Other: Crowd and campus life are a bit struggling. You will find different kinds of people—juniors and seniors, even super seniors sometimes. Dealing with people is what college life will tell you and surely college will change your perspective on design as well as your thinking about life.

Good facility and infrastructure, but quite a complex culture.
Placements: Architecture is mainly business-oriented, not like we need jobs, but internships are really good, as far as this college, it is really good, and also, as you can opt for foreign internships, like 50 percent of students receive scholarships, which are out of India, and the rest in good states.
Infrastructure: Good facility, but girls' hostel and boys' hostel still are very misogynistic, but at least there are non-sharing rooms plus the area of hostel is posh, so no harassment, but ragging of hostels is still tolerated by students of 1st year without the warden knowing.
Faculty: The pass percentage is 50 percent in internals as well as the exam, so it's quite difficult, but it's fine, if it's good, we get a good score and learn new things. Also, attendance of 75 percent is compulsory. Teachers are really cool, but 1-2 of them are really favouring students.
Other: The college is good, and the college culture is quite complex, but it's fine.

Absolutely satisfied with the faculty and relevance to the course. Placement could be better.
Placements: Most of the students get placed by themselves only by using resumes and portfolios. But if they face any problems then college helps with the placements. Top recruiting companies nare from Chandigarh or Delhi NCR only. Top roles offers are fresher architects and interns only in B.Arch.
Infrastructure: Yes Wi-Fi available. And A great library with all the facilities and all the labs are centrally air conditioned with all the useful facilities. Yes there is a hostel for the college within the campus only which is used by most of the students for outside Chandigarh.
Faculty: Teacher are highly qualified. And also teaching quality is good. Yes the curriculum of course is also relevant and also helps making the students industry ready. Its a great course with great faculty and relevance. Semester exams a little on the higher side and passing percentage is 40%.

It is the best architecture college for students to join.
Placements: In architecture, there are no placements. However, most of the students from our college go abroad for their internships. Only a few students do internships in India on their own as per their choice. You get great exposure to things here, which develops our personality.
Infrastructure: The hostel facility is great as per the fee paid by the students as you just have to pay the fee of Rs. 6,000 in the first semester. Later it is just Rs. 2,000 for further semesters, which don't include mess charges as those charges depend on you what you eat. Overall, Rs. 2,000 is far less for the services provided by them. Girls hostel washrooms are well maintained.
Faculty: Staff members here are pretty fine and are cooperative, but you learn a lot from your seniors in this college. They teach you not only about studies but also develop your professional skills. The course curriculum is pretty good, and it enhances your creative skills as well.
