Overall, this is the best college for the Master of Landscape Architecture course.

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%.

Placements are average in SPA Bhopal.

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.

Placements are poor, faculty is okayish at best, hostels are good, and infrastructure is okay.

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 ...

One of the best places to study architecture in India.

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...

A good college with no placement.

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.

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.

MUD from SPA 2021 had the best years of life.

Faculty: The faculty, curriculum, and exams of our course are such that the exams are conducted on a semester basis, making it easy for students to pass and clear the exam just by studying a day before exams. The course curriculum is relevant in comparison to the industry requirements.

Review of SPA Bhopal - School of Planning and Architecture.

Faculty: The liking for faculty is very subjective. Overall, they are decent but like in any other college. You need to put in your effort to pave a path for yourself. It's more of self-study and self-learning. Semester exams are good. Juries can be hard for finals.

Despite the placements, it is a good college.

Faculty: This was the only reason it's the best college because faculty members were good. Teachers were very helpful to be precise they spoonfeed students because it's completely a new syllabus or course that students had no idea about, and this changes. This course makes the student ready to make their path in this course.

Satisfied with the campus beauty and department as I have explored myself here.

Faculty: The teachers are helpful, qualified, knowledgeable, experienced and challenging. I am telling about the department of planning only, not architecture. We get industry exposure only through guest lectures and internships. 10:1 is the student to faculty ratio. The success of the course depends on market need. Currently, it is a bit different in academic part as you are given freedom to choose and decide what do you want to study.

Our college has really good infrastructure and facilities in Bhopal.

Faculty: The faculty members of our college are well qualified. Though it is not a major issue, the students lack discipline which sometimes needs to worry. To me, this college is better than the other colleges in Bhopal. The teaches of this college are friendly with students and help everyone without partiality.

India largest architecture college, with best amminities.

Faculty: I'm pretty sure the lecturers are very helpful In academic as well as in the competitions, the faculty are Ph.D. mostly and who are persuading Ph.D. they are good in their best at their part. Teaching quality is good, the teaching methods are generally lectures, workshops, case studies, educational trips. The faculty ratio is 1:8. the course curriculum is very useful.

Satisfactory Campus with an excellent environment and a good faculty.

Faculty: For the architecture, at bachelors, there will be a good faculty of which expect 1 to 2 to be excellent, 3 to 4 satisfactory and 1 to 2 to be the poor faculty, in each semester. For the planning, 1-2 faculty will be excellent, 2 to 3 to be good and 1 to 2 to be unsatisfactory. For the masters, 3 to 4 faculty will be excellent. The number of faculty doesn't match the expected in one such institute, but still satisfactory.
