    Best college, I personally recommended my college.
    Placements: 10% of students were placed in my course. The highest package is offered for about INR 17 lacs, and the lowest package is offered for about INR 3 lacs. The top recruiting companies are Wipro and Microsoft. Approximately 80% of students received internships at Wipro and Microsoft.
    Infrastructure: The best and most clean infrastructure is available for our course and department. Wi-Fi, labs, gyms, classrooms, libraries, playing grounds, etc. are available. The quality of my hostel is very good—neat and clean. The quality of food in my hostel is very good—fresh and tasty.
    Faculty: Good faculty, good curriculum, and a good exam for my course. All teachers are qualified and helpful. The quality of teachers of teaching is very high. Medium-type semester exams are conducted at my college. The pass percentage is approximately 40% in my college.
    Other: I chose my course for my future dreams.

    Highly recommended college of architecture in Uttar Pradesh.
    Placements: Around 10 to 12 students were placed. The highest and the lowest average pack was 5pla to 12 LPA respectively. Top recruiting companies were tata consultancy. 60 percent of students got internship from my course. Top roles offered were design head executive.
    Infrastructure: Infrastructure and land area is top one. Wi-Fi, labs library are provided. Hostel facility is top notched were food and living quality is good. Sports and other annual functions are held every 1.5 years. Food quality in food mess and canteen in good.
    Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified. Every faculty is atleast have done Masters. Yes, course study is relevant and highly demanded in today's world's. This college makes us industry ready in this competivite world. There are total 10 semesters in 5 years course and 3 exams per semester.
    Other: I chose B.Arch as a course as its an amalgamation of both technical as well as creative knowledge. This field is highly demanded in today worlds. The things I want to improve in this course would be adaptation to more technology based designing rather than handwork.

    Just timepass, not a good college for architecture.
    Placements: 0 placements till now. As it is based on skills you have to find job yourself. You can ask faculty for help though. No help from management of the college. Most you will own a office after getting degree so doesn't matter much, overall no placements.
    Infrastructure: Building not in good condition and according to hostelers, mess food is just disgusting. Walls have weathered plaster A/c only available in few classrooms, tables are in okay condition. No Wi-Fi in hostel or the building and not much facilities available.
    Faculty: Faculty is helpful and knowledgeable, bit lazy though, you've to ask everything. Internal exams are fine. Course is covered thoroughly. Not something special, and you cannot become industry ready here. If you just want degree its for you but for skills. Big NO.

    The teachers are really helpful.
    Placements: AIAP is a private college that provides AKTU affiliated degree (government degrees). B.Arch is a 5-year program. New admission intake is closed due to the lack of sufficient students for starting a new batch. Students will have to find jobs/internships on their own. The college does not provide anything related to professional experience. You can ask teachers for help individually (from their own experience only). My college experience was ruined due to covid and lockdown for almost the past couple of years.
    Infrastructure: Computer rooms, library, lecture rooms, drafting halls, and staffrooms are well maintained. Wi-Fi is available with a limit of 1 GB per day on a single mobile number, and the speed is average. Washrooms are never cleaned, no mirror and soap are provided anywhere. Hostel mess food is average, and the hostelers look for tiffin services outside the college. Canteen food is also average, and the stalls outside the college get more attention with reasonable and better food options. No medical facilities are available in the individual building. Sports and games are conducted by students. The college only gives permission to organize sports day, and all the money, preparations and arrangements are conducted by the students only.
    Faculty: The teachers are really helpful in all manners, like teaching, guiding, and fun too. If the students pay attention and attend the regular classes, they can have a better future ahead. Semester exams perfectly test the knowledge so that we become great architects.
    Other: It would be better if the college provided information about the companies one can apply for an internship or a job. Most of the students waste so much of their precious time in finding firms due to the lack of information they have about the professional work.

    It is a good choice for those students who want to pursue architecture.
    Placements: There is no concept of placement in any college as far as I know, and the same is the case with SDCA. However, the college ensures that all of its students get into a good internship program with reputed architectural firms. Most of the students get placed in good firms after completing their degree as the college is among the best under A. P. J Abdul Kalam Technical University.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is very good with well-ventilated studios and courtyard planning. The hostel facilities are also good. The college has a good library with lots of books for students to get ideas from. The computer lab is well-equipped with good systems to cater to the needs of the architectural students.
    Faculty: Faculty members in our college are very helpful, and since most of the faculty members are practicing architecture, so they provide students with practical knowledge, which helps students a lot to understand the basic difference between the theoretical and practical approaches.
    Other: Our college students participate in events Like Zonasa, Annual Nasa, etc., in which they exhibit their talent. The campus is very green and it also keeps the environment around the campus very healthy and joyful. The college has students from several parts of Delhi NCR and other states as well. With Delhi -Meerut expressway nearing completion, the traveling time for people from Delhi will also get reduced hence making commute very easy.

    It is a great place for all those who want pursue this profession seriously.
    Placements: Usually, in this profession, students are responsible for finding a job on their own. No college provides placements, yet Sunder Deep College of Architecture conducts an annual job fair for their students, which helps the students to get placed. Apart from this, as a part of the curriculum, every student gets a training period of 6 months during the course.
    Infrastructure: Sunder Deep College of Architecture has a well-built infrastructure with large studios, a library, lecture/seminar halls, and labs. Hostel facility is available on the campus. We also have a canteen and small stationery. Provision of a medical room is also available.
    Faculty: Faculty members of our college are highly qualified, and many of them are practicing architects. They are helpful and are always supportive. To get the aura of the field, the curriculum is covered via live lectures, presentations, site visits, guest lectures, and workshops. Different activities are also conducted to keep students motivated and interested.
    Other: Annual fest and different functions are also organised by the college. Students are motivated and supported to participate in various architectural competitions and conventions, which keeps boosting up their spirit.
