What Students Say

Likes

The classrooms aka studios are well equipped with the right kind of furniture allowing students to work in a systematic manner
The library of the college is its best part which is also one of the best libraries in the whole state
College provides and labs and workshops with all the facilities required

Dislikes

Some faculty members are just not there to help while some are excellent architects
The degree is hectic and mental health is neglected alot
No A/C accomodations are provided and senior to junior bond is a taboo at first, too much strictness for nothing

Course Curriculum Overview

The most difficult situation that a student will face in architecture is taking a 6 hour architectural design paper with no breaks what so ever. The degree is itself is quite hectic and no matter how much you manage it, sleepless nights before submission awaits you. Plus, you will have 3-4 submissions every week.

Class Size: 40Course Fees: INR 70000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

The tution fees is around 70k/year and hostel fees around 25k/ year. According to which the faculties provided are decent enough. There are scholarships for various categories and students get upto 90% scholarship under those. Tho model making and prints might take up alot of your money

Campus Life

3.5

Library is literally the best part of the college, its a digital one and has alot of architecture related books as well as a few fiction. Sports isn't a forte for this college and social events are a rare cause as well. You will mostly see things related to architecture and architecture only

Hostel Facilities

1.5

One room accomodates two students and each has to pay 25k/year + 3k/month (mess charge). Hostels are rather small and no A/C accomodations are provided. Girl's hostel's in time is 8pm which feels suffocating and there are restrictions on clothing

Hostel Fee: INR 27000 per year

Admission

The admission is done through NATA. Anyone from general scoring a rank upto 150 in UPTAC can get in easily. You will have to apply for UPTAC with your NATA score and choose this college as your first option

Faculty

3.5

For major subjects, 4-5 faculty members are there per subject and the interaction is quite good. They are there to help if the student is serious. Faculty members are well qualified and most of them have graduated from this college only. Students can go to the teacher's cabin at any time in college hours if they have a doubt and they are helpful

Remarks:

Beginning was good faculty was amazing in the recent years but the present scenario is horrible please do not send your ward to this college or any college associated with U.P.T.U, and the director is new jailer these days, seems as it is a college rather than an architecture college.
