NMIMS Balwant Sheth School of Architecture Invites Applicants for B.Arch. and M.Arch. Programs

May 31, 2023:  SVKM’s NMIMS’ Balwant Sheth School of Architecture (BSSA) is pleased to announce that admissions are now open for the 2023 batch of the Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.) 5-year program and the Master of Architecture (M.Arch.) 2-year program. As one of the leading architecture schools in the country, BSSA offers students a unique opportunity to explore the world of architecture and design while building a strong foundation for a successful career.

The Balwant Sheth School of Architecture (BSSA) was founded in 2007 during a time of tremendous economic and cultural upheaval in India with the goal of educating architects who could meet the demands of a fast-changing global environment. BSSA has established itself as a leader in architectural education thanks to its emphasis on interacting with many different disciplines, encouraging practise that is research-oriented, and questioning conventional design ideas. The NMIMS BSSA is dedicated to giving students the best education possible and equipping them to lead in the architectural industry. The faculty of the school is highly qualified, committed, and enthusiastic about both teaching and research. Additionally, students gain from interactions with business people, the chance to hone their abilities through live projects and internships, and the development of critical thinking to solve problems in novel ways.

"At BSSA, we give our students a platform to engage with contemporary architectural practise and explore the complex relationships between design, technology, culture, and the environment," said Dr. Kaiwan Mehta, dean of the Balwant Sheth School of Architecture. Architects must grasp the conflicts that exist between many factors and participate in discussions on the future of citizenship and societies. By doing this, architects may improve their ability to understand the needs of the modern world and translate those needs into form, space, material, construction, drawings, and sites, so improving the world for all people.
