Entrance Preview

NATA- score 90. I opted for this college because of its culture and valid experienced faculty which promotes student growth and intellectuality.

Course Curriculum Overview

4

It is a Five year course which is divided into Semesters. Semester 1-6 is college affiliation and from Semester 6,Mumbai University starts. First Half of 4th Semester is Internship which is 6 months. 5th year is Thesis which is followed by a 6 Month wait for License.

Internships Opportunities

Yes,the college provides internship in the fourth year. We are selected on the basic of our design folios. I have not yet experienced it because I am still in the third year,but from the seniors sayings,internship gives a huge boost in experience and confidence with work-ex.

Placement Experience

2.5

Placements are on basis of marks and design folios. Usual placements are in Mumbai,Bangalore and Pune. Packages are around 10-12k for internships and after degree it is around 25k for junior architect at any firm. Out of a batch of 180,around 100-120 were placed.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee structure is RS 86000 for a year,this excludes examination fees and other expenses. Examination fees is Rs 760/- per semester and cost of events ,to attend are usually Rs 550-700. Yes,it is an expensive course,but it is feasible. The fee for 5th Year is least i.e Rs 65000.

Fees and Financial Aid

No,our college does not give any scholarship,however for OBC/SBC students the fees is 15% of the regular fee structure. No loans are offered and I have not availed any of it.

Hostel Facilities

2.5

Hostel facilities are very moderate,however are hygienic. But the college has accommodation only for boys. The mess food is very average with mostly all fast food items that compromises on health factors as it is oily and deep fried. Prices are very low in terms of affordability.

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni network is very well spread to foreign countries as well. Senior students are doing exceptionally good in the further education or fields they have opted.

Exam Structure

Exam structure is divided every 6 months as per semester,there are four exams viz. Services, Theory of structures,Building Services and Humanities. Yes,it is a very hectic schedule during exams as during the same period we have design folio submission.

Admission

Submitted XII STD markshet and NATA result card which is valid for admission to architecture. 180 total seats are available and I got in through open quota. I secured admission in the second round of NATA. Notification was released in July and college began in August.

Faculty

4

The faculty ranges from young architects to older experienced architects who have a tremendous knowledge base. It is divided into two parts, in-house and external faculty. External faculty is only available for main subjects and they have their own firm outside.

The reason i choose architecture because it fascinates me how a place can be developed into holistic place interests me . The curriculum has some good inputs but it doesn't make you industry ready extra efforts should be taken to learn advance softwares extra classes newer research etc discussion on advance technology becomes important in modern age how architecture is changing is not discussed

Course Curriculum Overview:

The frequency of exam is twice a semester and good enough. Guest lectures are good and helpful for the future preparation.There must be a change in teaching styles of the faculty and more site based experiments through the course for better understanding than only in class studies , the beauty of historical buldings made me wonder about this course

Placement Experience:

For architecure departments, usually there are no placements, but since this Institute is autonomous, they have startes conducting placements drive. Last year 10/12 students were placed in good firms all over banglore, pune, kolhapur. I plan on applying to different firms all over Maharashtra and would also hope to get placement via college since the packages that are offered are good. Placement percentage is anywhere between 12-15%. The highest package offered was around 5,40,000, average package for a architecture student would be-around 3lakhs.

Placement Experience:

There is no campus placement for architecture students. After completion of the degree, one can apply for jobs or opt for masters. Architects get an average starting salary of 20-25 thousand. The course is pretty expensive including college fees and printing prices. One can also open a private firm and earn enough money. There are very few open students getting placed. My plans after getting a degree are to apply for masters. For a teaching job, one must complete masters.
