Course Curriculum Overview
The course curriculum srictly revolves around on field experiences that you can learn from. For example, being a planner involves real life plan preparation and stakeholder involvement. Throughout the studios, you'll be making a plan (hierarchy of plans increase with each semester) with data collected by your class on site, respective departments and stakeholder engagement. This is a best way to prepare us for real world scenarios. Theory exams are conducted at the end of each semester, but studios carry the highest weightage.
Internships Opportunities
Aftwr the completion of second and third year of the cources you are suppoeed to do internships respectively. The college wont find internships for you, but facilitates if nothing comes your way. Finding an internship depends on tou and its not a hard task finding one as you can always find an alumni in some organisation anywhere.
Placement Experience
From your final year, you are eligible to sit for placements. But considering the planning field, 90% of the students pursue higher education. Placement from college is average as the max CTC you can get is 8LPA for bachelors. Companies like CBRE, L&T, Unitrans, LEA Associates, AECOM, CSE, CEEW etc are the major hirers. I am personally interested in pursuing higher education after my bachelors.
Fees and Financial Aid
The fees per semester including tuition fee, activity fee, library fee etc. is 49,000 for Gen/ OBC and 29,000 for SC/ST. In the first senester you'll have to pay an additional amount of 20,000 as security deposit which will be returned back. Hostel fee amount to 27,000 and mess 35,000. There are various scholarship options if you belong to EWS and other backward classes which cover up the tuition fees like National Scholarship Programe and so on.
Campus Life
Campus loge is AMAZING! You get go meet people from all over the country, celebrate their festivals, have college fests every semester and what not. Every month you get to celebrate atleast one festival with the traditional food . There are 13 various societies in the college and the fun part is that you can be a part of how many ever you want. Its so much fun and helps you grow a lot. All classes are well equipped with projectors. Sports facilities are limited due to the smaller area of campus. We have a volleyball court and at hostel we jave basketball court, pool, table tennis, badminton, etc. Theres also a gym and gym park in hostel.
Hostel Facilities
Hostels are mediocre and limited and high in demand. They are alloted based on merit. Hostel infrastructure is minimal with a bed, table, chair, cupboard and electrical fixture in a room. Mess facility is horrible with fixed menu since ages. Affordability of hostel makes it high in demand despite its conditions since cost of living outside is very high. If youre looking for a PG, Kotla, Laxmi Nagar, etc are the nearest places.
Admission
I was preparing for architecture and had made it to reputed colleges like CEPT, NITs, JMI, and CET. Paralley i got B.Plan at SPA too. Out of curiosity, i had went through the syllabus and it captivated me more than what i was preparing for. Fore getting into SPA, you'll have to give JEE-II which will be conducted alongside JEE. If you get a decent rank, voila! you get a seat.
Faculty
Right now, the faculty student ratio stands at an average of every 7 students having 1 faculty. Faculties are the highlight of the college making it one of its kind. All faculties are approachable and help you widening your thinking spectrum, not only in academics but also in your interests. Like a coin has two sides there are faculties who dont make sense at all and some who dwell on being biased. but well finding them is a 1% probability
