A decent choice.

Placements: There are no placement offers in this course. It depends on skills and networking by your peers, juniors, seniors, faculty, and other college people. Through connections and internships, you can get the most out of everything and it all depends on communication and your work skills.

Infrastructure: Labs, a gallery, library, garden, alumni cell, rooms, dance room, art court, Nasa room, Wi-Fi for every floor, and a minimum of 2-3 classrooms per floor are available. The food is good and the snacks are filling even the day scholars go for. It's really fantastic.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful. It is relevant too. Every subject we study is getting us ready for the future and there are more relevant ones too. Semester examinations are more moderate than usual. It is easy but to gain a good score, it is moderate.

Other: I'm a 2024-2029 batch student. I chose this course for my love of design. Extracurricular activities and study trips are my best things in this course. I wish my course could get better if give us time and is simple with explanations without having to ask multiple times. Events and fests are a constant thing. You don't have to be scared of not having a campus life at all. Everything is good.

Our college has good infrastructure and guiding faculty members.

The college provides a very good nourishment and experience.

Placements: There are no placements for architects, but students can get placed in good firms. In architecture, students have to make their own decisions. It includes 1 year practical training that is the last year, and that helps a lot for placements. Students would have a chance to continue in the firm if they completed their training.

Infrastructure: The whole university is located in outskirts of the city and the place near the beach, which is very pleasant. The landscape in and out of campus is splendid. The buildings contain lifts and large studio rooms. Facilities like Wi-Fi, labs, material library, library, computer labs, and sick room, etc., are available in each building. It is also a verified data centre.

Faculty: Faculty members are experienced and knowledgable. Professor K Mohan being the director, is one of the good architects in India. His expertise can make students worthy. Faculty members are paid handsomely to make students very dedicated to the college. Guest faculty often visit the campus to help students with seminars and workshops.
