The college provides a very good nourishment and experience.

Placements: There are no placements for architects, but students can get placed in good firms. In architecture, students have to make their own decisions. It includes 1 year practical training that is the last year, and that helps a lot for placements. Students would have a chance to continue in the firm if they completed their training.

Infrastructure: The whole university is located in outskirts of the city and the place near the beach, which is very pleasant. The landscape in and out of campus is splendid. The buildings contain lifts and large studio rooms. Facilities like Wi-Fi, labs, material library, library, computer labs, and sick room, etc., are available in each building. It is also a verified data centre.

Faculty: Faculty members are experienced and knowledgable. Professor K Mohan being the director, is one of the good architects in India. His expertise can make students worthy. Faculty members are paid handsomely to make students very dedicated to the college. Guest faculty often visit the campus to help students with seminars and workshops.
