B.plan course review

MANIT is the best technical college within the state. Being an NIT, the college have national importance. It has huge reputation for its culture and discipline among students. Placements are the main attraction points, as it has one of best placement percentage anywhere in the state. And many companies of different sectors tend to visit the college.

B.planning course was introduced in the college in year 2008, since then it is the only NIT that provides the B.planning course. The course curriculum focuses mainly on practical knowledge on urban physical planning. The highest weighted subject in every semester is studio, there are various levels of plans and in each semester, student works on to preapre one of this plans about a selected site/location. The faculty is very helpful to the students who is eager to learn. The also help in publishing papers in international and national journals. The faculty student ratio is very good. There are more than 40-50 professors in the department. The cousre is based on semester pattern. And each semester has a mini, mid and end term exam. The marks distribution for each subject is 10,20,40 for mini, mid, end term respectively, 30 marks are on assignments and remaining 10 for attendence and other activities. The thing they need to add is, that the course doesn't include much on teaching various software. And they need to increase books and journals related to planning in the library

I did my internship in Nagpur smart city. The nagpur smart city organization was working in developing an area on the outskorts of the city, realocation and land use planning was the main objective. I got to learn alot of things from this internship, and gained valuable knowledge about the field work.

There are no core companies visiting for hiring B.planners. Most of the companies hire M.plan students. A NGO named pradhan visit every year and hire 4-5 student every year.
