    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.

    MUD from SPA 2021 had the best years of life.
