Commonly asked questions
On B.Arch Admissions

Q:   Is School of Planning and Architecture Bhopal a good college for B.Arch?

A: 

School of Planning and Architecture Bhopal is a reputable institute for pursuing a B.Arch (Bachelor of Architecture) degree. Some key points to consider:

  • Academics: SPA Bhopal follows the curriculum set by the Council of Architecture (COA), which is the regulatory body for architectural education in India. The course covers subjects related to design, history, technology, management, and professional practice. Students get hands-on training through various design studio projects during the five-year program.  
  • Faculty: SPA Bhopal has a faculty body consisting of experienced architects, planners, and academics. Many faculty members have several years of professional practice experience and bring that into the classroom. They are able to provide good guidance and mentorship to students.
  • Infrastructure: The college has well-equipped design studios, computer and drawing labs, library, workshop and model-making facilities for students to utilize. This helps in developing practical skills along with theoretical knowledge.
  • Placement: While specialised jobs in architecture do not have high placement rates across India, SPA Bhopal has been able to help many graduates find employment with architectural firms, design studios and construction companies. Some also pursue higher studies or start their own practices.

In summary, SPA Bhopal offers a reputable B.Arch programme that follows the COA curriculum, has experienced faculty, provides good infrastructure and also helps in the placement and progression of graduates.

Master of Landscape Architecture - Batch of 2020

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money
Overall, this is the best college for the Master of Landscape Architecture course.
Placements: Approximately 76% of students are placed in our study. The biggest recruitment agencies are Ignis Partners, Shaheer Associates, LandArt Designs, etc. The highest and lowest salary packages are 25 LPA and 5 LPA, respectively. The average salary is 15 LPA. Top roles include Landscape Architecture Manager and Landscape Designer. About 66% of students get internships.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, and the library are excellent. The hotels and food in the campus mess are far better than those in top NITs and IITs. We have facilities for football, basketball, badminton, volleyball, cricket, and table tennis. The most popular sports are cricket and basketball. People have more leisure time in the evening, and both students and teachers participate in various sports. We also have inter-college and intra-college sports and cultural festivals.
Faculty: The college has some of the best teachers in the entire country. Each faculty member is well qualified and has a mix of experiences, including both industry and teaching experience. The academic work stimulates students with regular field meetings and feedback on academic achievement. Tests are easy, and the pass rate is 77%.

Master of Urban Design - Batch of 2021

3Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money
Placements are average in SPA Bhopal.
Placements: It's a course where there aren't many campus placements. A few come and take a select few students. They generally check the CGPA and portfolio of the students and choose the tentative students based on that. The interview process usually consists of a few general and a few professional questions. The tentative percentage of students placed is somewhere between 20 and 30 percent.
Infrastructure: The hostel is one of the best features of the college. The rooms are clean and airy with private balconies every 2 rooms. The rooms are shared, 2 students each room. The rooms are spacious and designed well. The campus is residential, so all the students are house in the college and adequate seats are available for every student. The washrooms are clean. There is a courtyard for students where games can be played. There are also common rooms, a gym, a music room and a tv area.
Faculty: The course Masters of planning is suited for student who are interested in broader scope of urban development and sustainability. The course is fun and enjoyable, with site visits and works. The exams are moderate; it's not that hard for paper or for viva. It will, according to externals, mostly bring experienced externalsThe faculty members are highly qualified and have a lot of experience. The faculty members will clarify any doubts for the student and we can call the faculty members if we have doubt. or approach their cabins. There will be minimum of 2 faculty members for one subject and for the main subject, there will be 3 faculty members.
Other: Freshers, Farewell, Convocation, Founder's Day, Sports meet & all regional festivals like Janmashtami, Holi, Durga Puja, Lohri, Pongal, Saraswati Puja, and Sankranti are celebrated throughout the year and the whole college participates in them and enjoys them. This is the best thing: there is unity in diversity in our college; we don't differentiate and give equal importance to all the festivals; our college is inclusive in nature.

Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.) - Batch of 2028
3.2
2Placements3Infrastructure2Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money
Placements are poor, faculty is okayish at best, hostels are good, and infrastructure is okay.
Placements: Only a few students get placed every year as there are very few jobs in architecture, the recruiting companies pay very little, the working hours are very high, and there is no work-life balance. The only way out is to start your own firm. Most students pursue Masters either in planning or go abroad rather than getting placed.
Infrastructure: The hostels are very good; the rooms are big, clean, and adequately maintained; the bathrooms are below average, as there is only one washroom per 30 rooms; every room has a balcony; the mess is in the hostel itself; there is a badminton court, a table tennis table, and a TV in the common. Wi-Fi is okay at best, with speeds ranging from 1 to 60 mbps, depending on the location of your room. Sports facilities are pretty poor. The basketball court is okay, as is the badminton court, but except for that, nothing is taken care of. The football field is small and never has grass. The cricket ground is unusable for more than half of the academic year, and the other volleyball court is substandard. The library is very small, and the selection of books is also underwhelming. The new academic block is very far from the hostels and very inefficient; the old academic block is always filled with Masters students.
Faculty: The difficulty of the semester depends on the faculty you get; there are some egoistic teachers who will put you back a year without a second thought, and there are teachers who will pass you with good marks even when you do just the bare minimum. Life is hectic during the semester with endless submissions. The schedule is tightly paced; you barely get time for extracurricular activities. Half of the teachers are employed just because someone from their family is already teaching here; nepotism in teaching positions is insanity. Husbands, wives, and cousins of teachers are very common. The teachers here are a bit ruthless as an independent institute, and they do what they want.
Other: Events are not the best as the strength of the college is < 1000. There is a very large involvement of faculty and their families as the campus is in a remote location and there is nothing else that their family has to pass their time with. Overall, events are underwhelming and not on par with other larger colleges.

3Placements5Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money
One of the best places to study architecture in India.
Placements: If you are into placements, then please don't choose architecture. Placements are average here; you can expect 4 to 5 LPA. But after a few years of experience, you can be at 10 to 12 LPA. We do have a placement cell but that is not that active at bringing high-paying companies up to this point in time.
Infrastructure: Everything here is top-notch. The campus is less than 10 years old, so most of the amenities are considered quite modern. Our hostel has a warm water facility and it is also cleaned regularly. We can have coolers installed in our rooms but that will include electricity costs. The best part is that each room has a balcony between the rooms for double occupancy and we have communal washrooms. The mess is managed by the students for the students so you can expect good-quality food here. We have a new academic block this year and that building is very beautiful to study in. Our campus has a fast 450 mbps connection in college but only 150 mbps of Wi-Fi in our hostels. The library is small considering the size of the campus, but we have good access to leading online journals. The best part about our campus is that we have no restrictions on entry and exist in our hostels. Any student can work and go to the classroom at any time. We have a good workshop facility and we can do whatever we want there but the only downside is that for using power tools, we need to have permission. Apart from that, other labs are heavily equipped, be they graphic or GIS labs. Compared to other colleges, we are getting far superior labs.
Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified; most of them are practicing architects and have a good number of projects under their name. They are highly knowledgeable and are very supportive when it comes to learning. Most of them have more than 10 years of experience; you can expect the best teachers in our nation to teach here. The curriculum is very hectic. Some of us have mental breakdowns due to work loads. That is why I am not giving it 5 stars. We work like animals here; day and night, you will see us working in our studios and hostel rooms. And the curriculum is the reason. But it will make you ready for the industry. Our alumni are highly respected, both by us and by the other architects, simply because we are extremely hardworking and dedicated to our job. The semester exams are mostly hilly except for a few subjects like history of architecture and structures. There are one or two students every semester who get the year back. So be very careful and study tight.
Other: The reason I chose this course is because of my love for building. I like seeing unique and beautiful buildings, and I want to design my own house. That is why I chose this course. I was deep into pursuing design, which is why I am here. Also, you can travel a lot while you're here. The best thing about this course is that you can build whatever you can imagine. Its like painting but in 3D. I wish to lower our work loads and also want to have a more practical approach to learning than a theoretical one. Our campus is a very happening place; we have people from every part of the nation and that is the strength of the institution, and you can see every festival from each and every state. We have an event every other second week and that keeps us from getting bored. But the downside is that there is groupism here and people generally divide themselves based on language.

Bachelor of Planning (B.Plan.) - Batch of 2024

1Placements5Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money
A good college with no placement.
Placements: If you believe that you will secure a job placement after obtaining a B.Plan degree, let me dispel that notion. Not only in SPA but in all colleges offering this degree, there are no placements at all. You will have to search for a job on your own. Opting for higher studies in any IIT or a similar institution is always a better option.
Infrastructure: The campus is situated far from the city, but it is peaceful. There are three hostels - GH1, BH1, and GH2BH2 (Common). The campus boasts a library, necessary labs, well-maintained and impressive academic blocks. Various sports events take place throughout the year, with several fields for different games. Inside the campus, there is a grocery store and a decent dhaba right in front of the college gate. Overall, campus life at SPAB is satisfactory.
Faculty: We have excellent faculty members with superior teaching skills compared to other SPA's. They will assist you in everything, from studies to finding a job. The curriculum is suitable for what a planner needs to learn. Urban planning is a degree that requires good communication skills, as it involves regular presentations and juries that can be quite demanding.

Placements: Placements depends on the portfolio and mainly on the works that you've done already If you have skills on AutoCAD and other systamatic works you'll be considered on top of others. Students who have been good at academics and in overall performances can be noticed and can get good placement as per recommendations
Infrastructure: Wifi, labs, library everything is available and its an architecture college so the infrastructure is obviously good. The quality of food in mess depends on the vendor who is in the control at that time. An infirmary and every sports is appreciated, so there is that facilities also Badminton court Football ground Cricket ground Basketball court.
Faculty: Majority Faculties in the college have completed their PhDs in several good Universities. So they are good at teaching as well as interacting with the students. Semester exams are not that difficult because its architecture, your works only matters when comes to end of semester.
Other: Architecture is the best course to show your creative abilities as well as mental abilities. Coming to the campus life, students can have good interaction with people because all the students will there only in the campus, day scholars are not allowed, students should stay in college hostel. All the festivals from all over india will be celebrated, because students from all over india is studying there therefore students can know about all the cultures.
