ODCA for Kolkata

This college is in my city. I got admission in the first round itself after WBJEE counseling. Soon I called them up and got admitted. Procedure was simple, had to visit and that day itself everything was done. Infrastructure is good, bus facilities are available. Decent faculty present as well.

Architecture is a wonderful subject. We are taught about almost every field possible- from sociology to engineering mechanics, acoustics to economics. A wide range of subjects are covered. Faculty have at least passed M.Arch and few of them have completed their PhD. Usage smartboards, presentations, practical work is done. Term exams held every six months and every month one internal assessment is held. On top of that there are assignments on a daily basis.

Eligibility for internship- during 9th semester .No ideas regarding packages. Companies like L&T, DesTech, etc approach. Almost 80% of the students get placements. I want to pursue M.Arch after I complete my degree.

For a course of about five years, one has to pay a fee of roughly 5-6lakhs including bus fees. Also, hostel fees are excluded. Scholarships are available for only State Board students, which is pathetic. Almost every student gets recruited.

There are tech fests held during August-September and annual fests during May. No clubs, social groups are there which is so disappointing. However, college library is amazing. Heaven for booklovers. All sorts of books regarding curriculum and also architectural digests and magazines are available.
