Architecture at SMEF's

This college believes that education is not only books, classrooms and assignments, it is something apart from that all. Everything here is given equal importance be it academics or extracurricular activities or research project, you are not restricted from doing anything.

The main objective of an architecture program is to make the students excel in designing aspect, the syllabus here revolves around design and rest of its subordinates. The lab sessions here give us the freedom to think out of the box and research on our concepts.

Placements, as of now, we have none. In architecture one does internships before getting into full time job, from where they either go for higher studies or full time jobs in architectural firms. It is purely based on the student's capacity to sell himself/herself.

At SMEF's bricks we celebrate a lot of events, the farewell of final year students, freshers party for the first year students, Gurupurnima, Holi, Navrathri, Independence day, and kite festival to name a few.

The fee structure is feasible comparatively as far as I have known. The fee per year for tuition is Rs. 1,25,000, caution deposit of Rs. 6,000, University fee of Rs. 800 which makes a total of Rs. 1,31,800 on the whole. There is another separate fee known as the student council fee which will be used for organizing fests and other such events, of Rs. 3,600.

Yes, SMEF's provides scholarships to students who are into these following categories: a) from a weak financial background, they are provided an amount of Rs 50,000. b) Satis misal educational fund for meritorious students. c) Manoj Sahadio for those who excel in academics as well.

SYNTHesis is a fest, an expert organization in the fields of architecture and design. The other noteworthy events are young minds connect with the world and chai with the author, as the name suggest it is an event where an anticipated author is invited to discuss with the students.

The alumni network is very strong. For architectural institutes where placements are a challenge, such alumni network are the ones that get you into jobs and internships. Many of our alumni work in renowned firms whose details are put up in the college website.

For getting admission in SMEF's for B.Arch I had to clear NATA, JEE scores are also accepted, there is no specific score, you just have to score an positive non-zero score. The candidate has to fill the application online on the college website, and attend the entrance exam for which the date will be notified.
