Architecture, a good option

DY Patil in akurdi has one of the best campus in Pune. The campus has more than 15 different colleges in it. Such as engineering, architecture, fine arts, mca, mba, etc. The landscape of campus is very well designed. Speaking about the architecture college building, the planning is very beautiful and there are lots of open spaces for students to enjoy. The overall vibe of the place attracted me so I wanted to go to this college only. One of the bad aspect would be the classrooms. In my first year there was no issues with the classrooms but later on since they divided us in three divisions instead of two the classrooms were short. So they had to divide a studio in two, which was very chaotic at some times. The admission procedure was quite easy and the staff was very helpful too.

The course is very much interesting. For those who dont like studying much, this course is a great option. But yes the course demands a lot of hard work. There are tons of assignments to do. We have spent sleepless nights at times. The faculty is very well experienced and interested in teaching. Some of the faculty is very chill with students and are joking around with students to burn some stress. They support alot during external vivas and are always protective of the students. If you submit assignments on time, then you can easily pass the subject. Many students find the theory exams hard and often fail in them. Especially in TOS (a subject having physics and maths). But I never found it difficult and managed to clear them everytime. So I would say its easy to pass if you put enough time.

Fifth year has mandatory internship. So yes I have done my internship. College has no hand in the procedure. You have to get it by yourself. My internship experience was pretty good. Got to learn about practical things.

Some companies do visit but for this course its easy to get a job from off campus since a lot of firms are always hiring. Getting a job is very easy so don't have to worry about that. You can start internship from first year itself.

Fee structure has changed from my times. Its lowered. Around 90k per annum. Yes there are scholarships available for students. To know more about them, you'll have to contact college cause the policies keep on changing every year. A few companies do come to campus like Neilsoft, Godrej, etc. But in architecture, students mostly get jobs from firms so getting a job is not the tough part. The cost of the stationary and other stuff needed would be around 10-20k per year. (Prints, sheets, etc).

As I said one of the main reason to choose this college was the campus. The social life on campus is pretty good. There are lots of events going on and one way or other you can get into it. There are lots of clubs available to join too in different colleges in the campus. Just roam around enough and you'll get the information for it.

No, there's nothing of that sort. The admission procedure is online like DTE. Where college can't really choose the students except for the management quota. But yes obviously even there its all about money.
