SPA Delhi review

No one prepares you for the curriculum at Architecture schools. The number of submissions and the intensity of pressure throughout the semester is really high. Especially the amount of work load is incomparable with other courses. But that's what make them strong and deserving. Yet, it is really away from the real life applications. There are a lot of areas in the curriculum that needs to be reinvented.

The campus placement starts in last year. Oddly 30% students might get placed based on the specific year placement cell performance. Some good companies approach the college. But, in architecture field they aren't 100% relevant and it isn't a good criteria to judge a college.

The current fee is 75000rs. But apparently, the fees of tuition, mess and hostel are increasing rapidly every year. There are few scholarships available. No campus employment you can undertake.

The social life is the best thing the college can offer after the excellent academics. Student-run clubs and events are quite active and lot of fun. It's the X-factor in the whole college. Although, the facilities provided by college are less, the students active life is quite vibrant.

The hostel facilities are bad. 100% of the students don't get the opportunity as campus can accommodate only few people. Meal quality is ok. In the recent years the number of surges in charges are totally unacceptable. The registration process of hostel and mess is pathetic. But somehow living in the hostel is the best thing that can be done. Kotla(beside college) Laxmi Nagar, Mayur vihar are the localities students rent a PG.

The admission is done through JEE MAINS Architecture exam. The cut-off is quite high as the college is one of the top college. The exam happens once in a year. The admission process is quite simple and feasible.

The faculty to student ratio is quite decent. Each class has 3-5 faculty members based on the studio. But in the recent years, there is a decline in the quality of hiring new faculty. It is clearly affecting the performance of college at various stages. But the faculty in the final years is really good.
