School of Planning and Architecture Student Review .
Placements: We are a batch of 130 students: 96 in Architecture and 34 in Planning. As per my knowledge, a beginner can expect an average salary of 3-4 LPA if their skills are good enough. We have an internship in the 7th semester. There are many architectural firms where we can work after developing our skills.
Infrastructure: We have a lot of facilities, including Wi-Fi, a library with good books, and a computer lab. The quality of food in the mess and the stay at the hostel are also good. We have sports competitions and tournaments held during cultural events. There are different clubs you can be part of to learn, and there are many extracurricular activities.
Faculty: Faculty members have a good educational background; they have amazing knowledge, and the faculty is approachable. The teaching quality is good. Obviously, there is a gap between academics and the market. Semester exams are not so tough if you study properly; the passing criteria is 50% of the total marks.
Other: Our batch is of 130 students Both Archies and planners Course is good .

Absolutely satisfied by the infrastructure.
Placements: More than 70 students were placed in B.Arch. The faculty members here are the best. Students always about the study friendly atmosphere they provide here. Students from here have been placed in many government companies.70% got internship. All seniors told us that no one will be left out during internship. Worth coming here .
Infrastructure: They offer the best food in mess. Everything and tasty. They change the catering so that we can taste of food. The hostel is really clean. Every morning cleaners come and clean the place. If we are sick we can visit the room which is available during the day time and there are caretakers who are available 24*7. Our gives importance to sports. We have a basketball court, tennis court, and volleyball court football ground. We conduct sport meets between batches and fun.
Faculty: All the teachers are qualified. Semester exams are conducted strictly. Exams are difficult but not that much. If you are attending all classes and daily along with your work loads you can score more marks. Time management is the key so learn and prepare yourself before knowing about the difficult level of exams.
Other: The place is really good. We never feel bored here.

Overall, I am satisfied with the college.
Placements: People mostly prefer to study masters after their Bachelor Degree. 30% of students prefer taking up Masters, and 50% start taking up professional practice on their own, and a few prefer joining in the top firms. Some students are offered 30,000 per month, and some get 1 Lac per month. Some may even get more, but everything depends on the talent of the student. As it is architecture, you can't estimate the package as you can estimate for engineering students, but the highest package can be 30 LPA, and the average package maybe 10 LPA. The lowest package maybe 2 LPA. The top recruiting companies are GMR Constructions, Somaya and Kalappa Consultants, Mind Space Architects etc. 100% of students got internships in various companies across India like Mind Space Architects, Karan Grover, Trio-S etc. Junior architect, graphic designers, event manager, and faculty roles are offered.
Infrastructure: The college has limited Wi-Fi, excellent library with 10,000 plus books, and good classroom environment. The hostel facilities are excellent, and you get healthy food and water. Food will be provided both in South Indian and North Indian style. Medical Facilities are available. A canteen is available, but there is no night canteen. Maybe, there will be a tender that may pass on in the future. Sports facilities like basketball and volleyball courts are available.
Faculty: The teachers are very helpful and caring. All the faculty members are post-graduates, and they are knowledgeable. Most of them are university gold medal holders. The teaching quality is excellent, with different methods. The course curriculum is relevant, and it makes students industry-ready.
Other: As I am interested in knowing the behaviour of spaces and want to experience the people relation with structure, I chose this course. You get to know about people, structure and art. I wish there will be no imposing of the teachers' style of architecture on the students. You get a merit scholarship, in case you are meritorious, and there will special scholarship provided by Andhra Pradesh government if you are eligible for SC scholarship. Sportsmeet and cultural fest of the college called Inyan is held once a year. There are special lectures by faculty members from other colleges. The crowd is not much high, and this college offers only 2 courses.

Review of SPA Vijayawada - School of Planning and Architecture.
Placements: Around 5% of the students got placed. A few students went to pursue Masters in good and recognised national and international universities. The average salary offered is Rs. 35,000 per month, in the on-campus placements. Top-recruiter of our college is GMR company. Most of the students got internships on their own. Some were assisted by the faculty members and the college department.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good, and students have got good on-campus residential facilities. Food quality is okay. The canteen is good and same goes for medical facilities. Sports facilities are somewhat okay. Being located in the heart of the city, students get to hang out with all the facilities available in the pedestrian reach.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful. Some of them try to help students in all the possible ways and to the best of their abilities. Students are free to go and ask any faculty they prefer. They're kind enough to answer your queries. The course curriculum doesn't make the students industry-ready.
Other: The college makes you more creative, interactive and broadens your vision to perceive things. The curriculum should be more industry-relevant. Events are fun, and we celebrate a lot of festivals. Extracurricular activities are conducted.

A great place for learning.
Placements: Since it is architecture and planning college, placements are not very popular. Most of the graduating students look for firms matching their interest and in favorable locations and apply. However, from the college end, they prepare a placement brochure which is a consolidated document containing information about students of the graduating batch. This brochure is then mailed to various firms across India to aid in placements.
Infrastructure: Currently, the campus is under development. However, the infrastructure is constantly improved and the hostels are state of the art buildings. Wi-Fi / LAN is available both in hostels and in academic buildings. Transport facilities for commuting, canteen and mess facilities are decent. Sufficient furniture provided in hostel and college.
Faculty: Very interactive course and curriculum with workshops, site visits and interesting course work. A lot of field visits and case studies to understand the course better and to gain hands on experience. Most of the faculty is knowledgeable with good industry insights. However, some faculty is lacklustre and typical.
Other: Inyan is the annual fest which comprises of various events by clubs. Clubs in the university for majority of interests such as fashion, dance, music, theatre, art etc. Every festival is celebrated in an elaborate manner due to the cultural mix and diversity of the institute.

A reputable government college is providing a good opportunity to students to enter into the field.
Placements: Until the batch which graduated last year, there was no placement cell in college. All the students who got placed in the firms had to make their arrangements and efforts but as of now, the effort has been made by the college, and a placement cell has been formed. Talking about the percentage of students who got placed, it was such that all of them who had interest in respective fields got placed, maybe not with good pay but they were placed, while the rest are pursuing further studies. When it comes to internships, the students make their portfolio and apply in the respective firms of their interest, but if somebody fails to get an internship by their efforts, the college takes the responsibility to get them placed in some or the other firm. The stipend provided to the students varied from nil to Rs. 20,000, depending upon the firm they are placed in. On an average, the students manage to make at least Rs. 2000 to Rs. 6000 per month during their internship period which lasts for 20 weeks.
Infrastructure: As of now, the academic campus is under construction, which will be completed by the end of this year. In the meantime, the academic block has been running in a rented building. All the facilities whether it be Wi-Fi, classrooms, library, medical facility, sports and games have been provided well to the students. The quality of the food is average. The hostel rooms and utilities are well and good since it's a newly constructed building. It's in good condition, and the arrangement of spaces are also good. All the facilities have been provided in the hostels. The only issue which was faced in the infrastructure related to academic block and the hostel block, but as of now, it's only the academic block, which is remaining, but at the end of this year, this will also be resolved.
Faculty: The teachers are well-qualified and helpful. The teaching quality is good when considered as a whole. The student to faculty ratio has been maintained as per the guidelines, i.e., 20:1. The exposure is provided during the internship period in which most of the students manage to get it good, since, they make their effort in choosing the respective firms, in the respective fields. The course curriculum is followed in a proper way, and the things are smooth as compared to the previous years.
Other: The other events include sports week, Hindi Saptah, time to time competitions, which includes such as state level, national level, and international levels, and an annual fest in the college. For the students of architecture, NASA happens annually, which is a competition cum fest which gathers colleges from all over the nation and provides good exposure to the students.
