I was satisfied with the college because of its nice location.
Placements: There was no active placement cell but students can be placed easily in design firms. Most students got placed on the training time. Some were doing self practice and most of them were trying to settle in foreign country. But good sign is none gets unemployed.
Infrastructure: As an architecture college, it had a fantastic infrastructure with a huge green scape, good parking space, a library facility, huge studios, an AV room, a material library, and various labs. Our college had good facilities for food inside and outside campus.
Faculty: The course curriculum is run by Sardar Patel University. The curriculum was good and the structured syllabus was very deeply defined. Few faculty members were knowledgeable but politics was too much on campus. The course was good for the industry. The exams were conducted by SPU and they were a little bit tough.
Other: I chose this course because of my personal interest in this field. The course has many tour visits. The course degradation and teaching quality must be updated. Our college had its own annual events. Currently, its strength is very low. Our college is on the outskirts but connected with the city hub.
