Jayashree Girish Wighe's Review On Bharati Vidyapeeth’s College Of Architecture, Pune

NATA entrance exam, Was interested and passionate about architecture. I have chosen this course over engineering. I am very good at sketching and have a creative mind.

The course is very interesting involving a lot of skill. It is a beautiful field, a combination of art and technology, basically using the left and right parts of the brain. There are different subjects associated with art, research and technology. The complexities of the subjects increase every year.

No the college doe'st provide internship. There is a 6 month internship period included in the syllabus. You have you make the resume and cv on your own and apply to different architecture offices. This internship will take place in 4th year of the architectural course. Interns usually do not get paid in internships some offices may 4 k to 10 k again depending on the type and location of office.

Again the college wont provide any placement opportunities. Its you who have to make your cv and resume again and apply to different architecture offices. For the position of junior architect. The salary is usually 10k or above depens on the type and location of offices.

Fees for architecture course is really expensive for my batch it was 85 k and now its increased to 1lakh approx.

Scholarship is offered you can enquire about it from the administration department of the college. The college does not offer any loan facilities.

The seniors and alumni are extremely helpful and even supportive of their juniors. They share a lot of tricks and tips and give guidance on different subject and topics which sometimes teachers are not able to explain it properly.

The college follows 2010 semester course. Every year has two semesters. There will be written exams for technical subjects and viva or jury for design and art related subjects. There will be an internal examination first in which the internal faculties will mark your assignments and then an external examination in which a visiting faculty will mark your assignments.

Faculties are very enthusiastic and interested in the respective subject. You have internal faculties which do the actual marking on your assignments. Then you also have visiting faculties who are specialised in various topics related to the subjects, who come to the college to guidance through lectures and seminars.
