    The college provides a really good experience in architecture course. You get to learn a lot.
    Placements: Our course does not offer direct recruitment but if you have a good portfolio you'll definitely get the internship and job as well. Almost, everyone gets an internship.
    Infrastructure: The campus has good infrastructure. It will make you feel like you are in architecture college. The walls, ceiling, kund area, canteen is full of arts, handicrafts, construction details, painting etc. which is interesting to walk through corridors and be in the classroom itself. Facilities like classrooms, a big library, workshop rooms, canteen, computer labs with software, exhibition rooms, ATM, parking facilities, lockers and many more are also available.
    Faculty: The teachers here are really helpful and organized. Internal exams are stressful but external exams are not. Internal passing is 50%, and external passing 40%. Yes, the course definitely makes students industry-ready, as you learn lots of different software and get experience.
    Other: The college provides a Bachelor of Architecture, and the students who are truly interested and passionate about Architecture, buildings, art, learning, and brainstorming should join the college. The course makes you learn a lot about how construction works, site visits, and architecture tours nationally as well as internationally, through this trip you will learn alot more. The cons are if you're just joining college for only with an interest in art, it's not for you, architecture is really about the technicalities of construction. Make sure you know before joining that most of the time you have daily assignment submissions which is time-consuming and may wake you up till midnight. But if you're truly passionate you'll learn a lot, lastly, time management is the key.

    Amazing faculties, beautiful campus & wonderful course
    Placements: There are placements from our college but it's not like everyone gets campus placements, which i don't believe any architecture college promises. I don't have a exact % for placements. Recruiting companies are mostly big firms in Bangalore eg: (titan, made in earth, total environment). Top role for starting is junior architect.
    Infrastructure: The course is well planned out with great faculties who have mostly studied and completed masters and then practiced for a few years, I personally don't like the food provided in the hostel because i am very picky with my food but the food provided is good. The hostel is safe and convenient.
    Faculty: The faculties are really nice and experts in what they teach, they might come off as rude but they know there work. Curriculum is nice. One negative about it is they teach software in 4th semester which is a bit late compared to a few other colleges. Exams are well planned and balanced but might get delayed sometimes
    Other: We have an exhibition instead of a fest. We also have small events for festivals and some competitions as well chose the course because i wanted to do something creative as well as help the society in developing forward while conserving the nature.

    Our college provides good education.
    Placements: Our college provided good placements. Top recruiting companies visited our campus. Many students got placements in top companies. The lowest salary package offered was 3.5 LPA and the highest salary package offered was 15 LPA. Internships were available. More than 80% of students got placed in the previous year.
    Infrastructure: Three students shared a single room. The place was not huge, and students faced adjustment problems. The hostel was located on campus, which was good as it saved a lot of time and energy. The quality of food in the mess was good. There were separate hostels for boys and girls. The fee for girls' and boys' hotels was Rs.8500 - Rs.9000 per year. Each classroom accommodated 50 students.
    Faculty: The course curriculum was relevant. The syllabus was modern as per the requirements of companies. The course curriculum helped students enhance their knowledge in this particular field. The course structure of a master's in architecture was neither challenging nor vast. Compared to a bachelor's degree, a master's degree was not that hectic. Exams were held regularly, and you must pass them to be promoted to subsequent year.
    Other: The course fee was Rs. 65,000 per year.

    Good faculty members, infrastructure, and facilities.
    Placements: Our college provides good placements. The lowest package is Rs 50,000 per month for last year. On-campus interviews are held. All of them got their internships in their final year. 85-90% of the people who studied here get placement, and the rest get seats for their higher studies.
    Infrastructure: Our college has good campus infrastructure and food. It provides good hostel infrastructure. Security is good. Wi-Fi and washing machine facilities are available. Library has plenty of good books. It has well-maintained hostel rooms and facilities. Classrooms are very big which can accommodate maximum of 40 people.
    Faculty: Faculty members are good. 90-95% is the pass percentage. As we go for higher semesters courses get more difficult but faculty members help us manage everything. Faculty members are highly qualified. Teaching quality is good. Even the exams get tougher as we go for higher semesters.
    Other: It has minimal events. Our campus crowd is minimal. Many extracurricular activities are conducted. Overall, it is good.

    Our college is average in terms of faculty members, infrastructure and students.
    Placements: Our college offered great placements in various companies and roles. Placements are offered across the world. Students get to explore more with these placements and are more experienced about their upcoming lives and careers. This experience gives a great sense to build their careers.
    Infrastructure: The college has a great atmosphere, along with Wi-Fi, classrooms, library, canteen and hostel. The hostel rooms are pretty average, but there is good food in the canteen with various dishes every day. Medical checkups are provided weekly once. There is a play area for sports and games, but the bathroom facilities aren't very great.
    Faculty: Few teachers are helpful and knowledgeable, while few aren't up to the standard of teaching. The teaching quality is average. The exams are pretty average and not very hard nor not very easy. I wished there were more teachers and more interactive sessions were conducted. Exams also should be made less stressful and mainly assignments.
    Other: This college has B.Arch for 5 years, and I chose this course because I have always fancied studying architecture. I got admission to one of the top colleges of architecture in Bangalore, i.e., RV College of Architecture.
