What Students Say
Likes
- The college is situated in a serene campus, within an island with abundance of greenery and away from all the noise pollution.
- It's very accessible from the main city and having a nearby metro station allows everyone reach on time.
- The college is a prime example of adaptive reuse, as the building itself was once previously a hotel. So teaching through exemplary notions allow for better understanding the future of architectural conservation.
Dislikes
- Convocations don't often happen in every year, instead they happen every 2-3 years.
- Due to only architecture being the only course offered across the UG and PG sections, the limited number of students doesn't allow much fun in and around the campus as far as programmes are conducted.
- The college needs to implement stricter attendance methods through the use of biometrics and other technological interventions.
Course Curriculum Overview
The Master of Architecture (Advanced Architecture) is a newly introduced course at ASADI, with its inaugural batch consisting only 6 students from the COA-approved 20 seat allotment. Personally, I was a graduated from ASADI with B.Arch in September of 2024, and I immediately joined the M.Arch program in October of 2024. The primary reasons that influenced me are the diverse specialization across the 4 semesters of this PG program, the ease of convenience with my accommodation still around the campus5 The exams haven't been conducted as I am still in the 1st semester, but as per the university calendar, 1st semester will have 3 subjects, 2nd semester will haven 3 subjects and 3rd semester will have 4 subjects as theoretical examinations with 3 hours apiece for writing the examination. The rest of the subjects are either core studio subjects and elective subjects which will be evaluated through internal and/or external juries

Campus Life
There are various festivities which are conducted at ASADI, which includes AARAV, which is the annual day of the college. Convocations are also conducted for passing graduates every 2-3 years based on the number of graduates passing each batch.
Admission
Honestly saying, I didn't apply to any other college for my M.Arch program. Due to the various reasons I listed earlier. But for my B.Arch admission, I applied to other colleges like CAT, Marian college, but due to the marks not upto the mark from the 12th board exams, I was given a shut eye, whereas ASADI admitted me not only on the basis of marks, but on the 3 step interviews from bottom-to-top management level, which i aced substantially well. Hence, I will forever be grateful to college regarding that.5
Faculty
The faculty to student ratio is 1:20, and for studio subjects, they are 1:15. The faculties are really approachable and always understand the issues pertaining to the student and allows greater freedom in design, critical thinking and innovating solutions.
Night Life
Since the college is an independent institution and not part of any university campus, it doesn't have much of a night life persay. But many programmes conducted annually go past till 9p.m. provided written permission from various local authorities.
