Productions of professionals.

Placements: It's depend on the student to student who is eligible for the good placement or not eligible. The highest salary offered to the student is about 5 to 6 Lacs per year. Top requirement for our course is to designing the interior spaces and management of spaces. The highest package is 5 to 6 Lacs per annum and the lowest is 3 Lacs per annum.

Infrastructure: It's an architectural and design college so there is no issues in infrastructure as well canteen is their, free Wi-Fi, labs were also their, smart classrooms, lilavati famous library of Cept. It's a normal hostel enough to the student for living a student life. Good quality of food. Good medical facilities and sports is also their.

Faculty: Teachers were highly qualified and helpful and knowledgeable enough. Teaching quality is best and teachers are keen to answers our questions. This course curriculum is relevant because they trained the student as a professionals. Also there is a workshop for us to explore new ideas and we can execute after that.

Other: I like designing thing because design means to make life easy and better. I can't answer this question because thinks were improved every year after the feedback of students in the end semester.

The life at CEPT, the inside story.

Placements: Our department has recently started the placements and things like that. Most of the seniors either start their own business or join the place they would have interned at. I think, last year, 5-6 people got placed at the good firms. But there were a few firms that had actually come for the placement.

Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi facility is great here, so is the library. We don't have an air-conditioner in the studios of our department, and hence, that's a negative. The new buildings, however, do have centralised A/C. Our college doesn't have its hostel. The hostel of the Ahmedabad Education Society is pathetic, and their quality needs to be taken up. We have the well-equipped labs and classrooms.

Faculty: While most of our faculty members are our alumni, they are well-known and accustomed to the methodology of the college. Hence, they have a better understanding of our ideologies and thought process. Our department has recently changed the curriculum for good, so we are all still adapting to it. It is a good decision taken though.

Other: Our campus is known for its Navratri, and that's about it actually. We have a yearly fest called ROOTS, which is when we get to attend workshops and have the other fun activities such as treasure hunt, debates, cultural night, etc. The campus is lively considering the fact that all studios are open 24x7 for us to work, stay, and sleep.

Amazing campus, library, and workshop.

Placements: There is one placement cell, that manages the placements. Faculty members who teach us often come from an industrial background, and are already working or have worked in the market. Many times, it is these faculty members from whom or through whom we can expect opportunities to work. Also, the internships that we do, might go on to become our workplace, considering we have done substantial and meaningful work.

Infrastructure: It is an animal-friendly college, and the campus has tons of trees which is amazing. Wi-Fi has been provided on campus. Lilavati Lalbhai library is top-notch, with amazing in-house and out-house productions. Canteens could sure do with certain updates. We will have to look out for the summers, they are a bit harsh, given we rarely use air-conditioning. A new set of hostels is being constructed and should begin functioning in the second half of 2025. The holder group of hostels and the mess are surrounded by neem trees as well, all-in-all a very comfortable stay.

Faculty: We have a vertical-level studio system. The third and second-year students study in level 2 studios likewise, the 4th and 5th year students study in the level 3 studios. Each semester comes with a set of pre-existing and newer studios, alongside 2-3 mandates. This allows us to expand and explore a lot, no matter the course specifications. The studio location process each semester needs to change, and should be worked upon. We give juries at the end of each semester explaining to the juniors our design process, and the final outcome.

Really good university for architecture and interior design.

Placements: The placement of CEPT University is very wonderful every season. The training and placement cell of our university is doing continuous and best work for increasing placements. Till now, the average of 80% students is placed every season. A company like Adani, JLL, PWC, EY, KPMG, Turner, Mascot, Mega, Simplex, etc. have visited our university campus.

Infrastructure: Our university infrastructure is best, and it is of very good quality. Campus area of our university is not much big and not also small. We have all the required facilities on our campus like Wi-Fi, designing labs, classrooms, library, medical facility, sports grounds, games, garden, auditorium, canteens, hostel, etc. And the quality of designing labs and classrooms is best in every term. The hostel rooms are also good.

Faculty: Our faculty members are very good. My experience with faculty members is very good. They are helpful, qualified and have best and skilful knowledge. By their teaching method, we can easily learn the concepts, and by this, we can solve anything related to it. The student to faculty ratio is approximately 40:1. The course curriculum is very much useful to all of us.

Review of CEPT University.

Placements: More than 50% of placements got placed. Top recruiting companies are HCP, Prashant Parmar Architects, etc. Roles offered are of junior designer and junior product designer. Almost every student gained an internship in big companies, but it is up to a student where he or she might want to go.

Infrastructure: We have an amazing infrastructure in place based on its architecture. Amazing classrooms that are not typical school classrooms: we have studios where we play music nonstop on speakers, we have parties, and we have open discussions with faculty. Wi-Fi is available. The library is 4 floors. Medical services are provided, and the hostel mess is also okay.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and qualified for sure. We have a transparent and family-like relationship with the faculty members. The course is updated based on student feedback. Student voice is heard: there are no exams in the 5-year course. It does make the students industry ready.

Other: This course helped me to study the technical field, the architectural field, and a bit of the urban development field. Usually it is allowed to study crossover subjects. It is the biggest positive thing. Campus is very happening; every day or the other, there are events and festivals happening, and it includes batch parties, normal parties, food, cultural events, sports events, music, games, etc.

A great platform to evolve with all great minds and graduate from the best. CEPT is a home.

Placements: The placements are great. Most of the students after graduation, go for Masters while some opt to take experience. The placements have been across the globe and of course with good packages. The five year courses train us so well and inculcate the real life situations.

Infrastructure: CEPT Campus has so much happenings round the year. It is evergreen with its exposed brick buildings and greenery all around. There are 4-5 food corners in the campus with a lot of variety. Studios are communicative and the essence of heights and architecture makes it stand out from other campus and buildings.

Faculty: The courses offered are 5 year programme which includes practical training, internships and thesis. The faculty members are mostly the visiting faculty members who practice what they are specialised in and teach the same, practically. It is very beneficial and helpful to have great faculty members and learn from. The ratio of student to faculty 8/10-1 and we do get one to one discussions.

Other: The ever so happening campus in the city which a great minds. The everyday celebration of extra curricular activities and events mark the beauty of CEPT.
