    . Just another honest review.
    Placements: Placements in a college of architecture and planning are not required. The students here are well-equipped with the necessary means to get a job on their own means and of their own choice. From my experience, even if placements are offered, the students who get selected do not take up the offer and those who do, do not last long in the same place, mainly because of the nature of the job we do. Other than for this, the faculty do their best to help the students in all ways possible, such as getting references for jobs, etc.
    Infrastructure: The construction of the new campus took longer than expected, but even in the leased campus, facilities were decent enough, though the hostels of the time left more in demand. Requests for improvement in the infrastructure that was being provided were always taken seriously. One can say that given the situation and resources to deal with, the institute and the management did the best it could.
    Faculty: The faculty was probably the best, with a decent mix of older professors, who had great knowledge, with the younger assistant professors providing the required energy and a modern take on the syllabus. In addition to this, the curriculum was through, with a wide range of electives to ensure that our interests in specific areas were also catered to.
    Other: Even with a lack of a permanent campus to call its own, the required atmosphere was created to provide all students to express themselves, with a sense of belonging, and looking back it fills one with pleasant nostalgia.

    SPAV - the planning school's review.
    Placements: For my batch, none of the placements was provided by the college so far after taking our resumes and other details many a time. Only six out of the 30 students were placed from my senior's batch. Andhra Pradesh government has approached this college for certain projects, but none of them progressed to the placement or the real projects. Only six of them were mentioned before giving the priority to Telugu speaking students despite a central government university, and here, students are coming from all over India.
    Infrastructure: The new college campus is still in the development mode since 2008, and only the college hostels have been completed recently and opened in July 2017. Since then, our college is in a far-off highway place from the city in a rented place supposedly a hospital. The sports facilities are good, I would say, as compared those of the to the other colleges. A medical room is there with a doctor visiting twice every week. The canteen is not good. We have a well-maitianed prayer room. The cultural activities are taken care of by the students on their own with their own initiatives.
    Faculty: Only a few of the faculty members are too good and can be counted on fingers and others are lazy or incapable of teaching the subjects given to them. Most of them leave the things to the students to learn on their own through the internet or group study. A few of them are too arrogant, and you can't even argue as it will reflect in your internal marks.
    Other: The crowd is diverse as the students are coming from all over India. A majority of the students belongs to South India and of course Andhra Pradesh. The connectivity is there in terms of auto rickshaws, either sharing or private and the buses, but it is difficult to get one at the night time after 7 PM or 8 PM. It is situated at 12 KMS from the city. There is nothing in the surroundings except a petrol pump, a restaurant, a general store, bus stand and NH-4. The fest conducted every year is named as Inyan, and the students celebrate certain festivals pertaining to different states of India.
