CEPT University Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

Housing design gives a great opportunity to create a significant impact on a larger scale. It is an exciting niche that falls between urban design and architecture, and it has a strong emphasis on sociocultural aspects of real estate and current needs. The course provides a unique opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of housing design which is likely to remain a significant aspect of architecture in the coming years. The program is structured such that every unit of 12 has a tutor and a teaching assistant. Additionally, the program Director is actively involved in all studios, providing much-needed guidance and support. All of the studio professors are practising architects with established practices in housing, bringing a wealth of practical and real-life experiences into the studio, and making it insightful. While there is a strong inclination towards academics, the studio remains academically engaging. It is worth noting that the marking is assignment or review based.

Before the placements after the completion of the second semester, students can also do their optional internship. But over the years the students have found these internships very beneficial and the committees help the students to get through the placements as much as possible. Once the students have completed their third semester the placement procedure begins. The placement is well coordinated by the placement committee where reputed firms be a part of this process. During my batch, 95% of the transport students got placed. The ones who did not get placed were by choice as they had their commitments. The highest package offered was around 8 lakh per annum.

The placements are good and vary depending on the course. Masters in Urban Infrastructure has 100% placement for past years. Other departments are good enough too with 40-60% placement. The average package for a Master's in Urban Design is 6L per annum.

MCEM batches have a record placement of 100%, the top recruiters come from consulting firms, and contracting organizations and BIM developers are recruiting too. The student is given ample support during placement.

My interest had always been inclined more towards understanding in depth about 'what is history'. In my bachelor's training, I was quite interested in history lectures and hence took up the research thesis to explore further. This all gave me clarity on what I really would like to pursue further. The class strength is 12. We have our tutor as well as teaching associate with whom group discussions, as well as individual discussions, happen on at regular basis. 1:12 All the faculties allocated have a minimum of 5 years of teaching experience, with master's qualification. End-semester reviews at cept are quite unique as there are no written exams. It is mostly graded on the level of our understanding, how in-depth we have got into research and our final outcome.

Faculty: student ratio was around 1:5. I chose this course because the urban design field fascinated me. Faculty are knowledgeable practitioners in the field and have a ton of experience. Grading was on a relative basis.

Exams are scheduled on favourable time gaps and we require a min. 60% to pass which according to me is on a bit higher side of the bar. Scoring in the mandatory subjects is difficult as compared to studio subjects.

It's become a commercial environment that produces students rather than thinkers, and it's becoming increasingly culturally deficient. I always wanted to pursue interior designing and my admission was all online . One can visit their official website for more information.

CEPT University was among one of the few colleges in India to offer a PG program in my desired course, Urban Management. After I had a look at the reputation this institution holds, I was immediately convinced to apply here. I was also very attracted to course curriculum they offered. An online entrance exam was conducted as part of the admission procedure. Since I cracked the test on the first attempt, I easily got accepted into the program.

Admission has been done through CEPT University Entrance Test and then the GD/PI rounds are conducted where they give you a topic and you will be judged by on your content and confidence. I heard about this college from one of my teachers and they suggested me that this is the best suited colleges I must go for.
