N Tarun Kumar's Review On Smt. Kashibai Navale College Of Architecture, Pune

I would say that being a new college, it has already made its mark. It is rapidly growing. Being a new college we have all the new facilities and are guided in the right direction in the right way. In the upcoming year, it would grow into a larger network and I believe that it will make great strides in the near future.

It is a very interactive and creative course. It focuses more on the practical part of architecture where we physically do the work to understand it better. We do not have books but have study tours and workshops. Exams are held in the normal pattern.

Yes. After completion of 4th year, the college provides internships which may or may not give a monthly salary depending upon the firm or company that takes you as an intern. They might directly hire you for the job as well. Architecture is a field where placements are very few. Thus, students are prepared in a such a way that in near future, they can start their own firm.

The main events celebrated here are Ganesh Chaturthi, Sinhagad Carnival, New Year etc. It is during these occasions that students from all the neighbouring colleges mix together and enjoy to the fullest.

Compared to other renowned colleges, the fees here is average and affordable. There are scholarships intended to remove the burden on the guardians / students and make them study in this college at a minimal charge.

Yes. There are various scholarship schemes available for mostly all religions and castes. They provide a good platform for the under privileged students who can't normally afford to study in the college.

We have computer labs to do all the rendering, studios for classes and workshops along with AV rooms and exhibition room. Sports is a vital part of the curicullum with annual sports conducted every year.

The infrastructure is towards the lower side of average. The mess food can't be trusted as the taste might just ruin the day sometime. The walls are soaked in water during rainy season. Proper maintenance is not done. There is every possibility of improving it but special care of students must be taken.

Senior students are very helpful and kind. They have this zeal to provide guidance and make every effort to reduce our workload. They make sure that studies don't get boring and we have sufficient extra curricular activities all round the year.

Initially I had to give the JEE Paper 2 and NATA exams and get passing marks in 12th boards with more than 50% in Maths and Physics. Later, after contacting the college after registering on MAHACET, they ensured that I was eligible for admission and thus got into this college.

The faculty is highly qualified and versatile. With nearly everyone having completed their degree and still pursuing masters or PHD. The way they teach and make the students think surely gives the students a better thinking perspective.
