    Infrastructure: Hostels were very comfortable to stay in, and they also provided nutritious meals to hostel students, which were really tasty.

    Yes, somewhat satisfied with this college.
    Placements: As of the last passed-out batch, 70% of students got placements in good architect offices, with a salary ranging from 15,000 to 30,000 per month. For those who were not placed, the college provides support by recommending them for opportunities. The top role is Architect.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good, and they are continually improving it, such as adding ACs. Wi-Fi is available but very slow. Classrooms and labs are well-equipped, and the library has a good collection of books. However, restrooms are a drawback as they are not well maintained. The canteen is one of the best things in the college.
    Faculty: In the Department of Architecture, and most other departments, faculty members are very knowledgeable and friendly. They conduct exams like the CAT Model, which are very helpful for students. The pass percentage for internal exams should be around 50%, and for external exams, it is also around 50%.
    Other: In the Architecture department, students are encouraged to participate in more competitions and extracurricular activities. The campus feels less crowded compared to other architecture colleges in Chennai.

    Good infrastructure and friendly approach. But more likely to give importance to money.
    Placements: Mostly junior architect is the roles offered for freshers. In my college, seniors are opting to move out of india and work in foreign, as there is more scope for future architects. As far as I know there are no placements in my course, but other courses are getting placed in many companies.
    Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available and mobile phones are permitted, but shouldn't use during classes. Classrooms and labs are available anytime, can be used by students during their flexible times in college hours. Library has separate period hour in the timetable. Food is not too appreciable, but they are improving.
    Faculty: There are teachers who have more knowledge and experience and also there are staffs who are just Bachelor degree holders pursuing Masters on the go. Curriculum is very good and they ate improving and changes are happening to adopt to current requirements in the industry. Pass percentage is like 80% - 90%. Exams very easy and mostly relevant to the syllabus. Only 5%-10% would fail and also they might clear on arrears and revaluation.
    Other: Campus crowd is like mostly average. College building is under construction for the past two years. Culturals are happening and also we are allowed to attend other college fests also. And as a B.Arch student we go on many field trips, site visits, educational tours, etc. Also fun tours like north india trip for 25 days and international trips to dubai, singapore, malaysia, etc. Are also available ( fees to be paid separately ).

    Placements: Placements are not provided for B.Arch. students which is a professional degree. You need to apply directly to the firms that you want to work with.
