CEPT is the stepping stone to move forward in this industry, and it has an edge over SPAs and NITs.

Placements: You have to find placements on your own. There are certain measures taken, but honestly, it is not that difficult to get placed if you have the CEPT tag on your CV. You'll start as an intern, but you'll know that you know more than Master's students from other colleges at that level.

Infrastructure: The college is situated right in the center of the city. Hostels are 15 minutes away from college. The best library is available in our college. Continuous efforts are made to improve and conserve the existing infrastructure. There might be some persistent issues, but nothing beats the college life you get here.

Faculty: We didn't have exams but juries to present our semester's worth of design process and final design. It enables one to learn how to deal with client presentations in real life. Externals are called in to give valuable feedback. The portfolio one gets to make here in 5 years is worth sleepless nights in every semester.

Other: The college gives you extensive knowledge about the field and other things associated.

Productions of professionals.

Placements: It's depend on the student to student who is eligible for the good placement or not eligible. The highest salary offered to the student is about 5 to 6 Lacs per year. Top requirement for our course is to designing the interior spaces and management of spaces. The highest package is 5 to 6 Lacs per annum and the lowest is 3 Lacs per annum.

Infrastructure: It's an architectural and design college so there is no issues in infrastructure as well canteen is their, free Wi-Fi, labs were also their, smart classrooms, lilavati famous library of Cept. It's a normal hostel enough to the student for living a student life. Good quality of food. Good medical facilities and sports is also their.

Faculty: Teachers were highly qualified and helpful and knowledgeable enough. Teaching quality is best and teachers are keen to answers our questions. This course curriculum is relevant because they trained the student as a professionals. Also there is a workshop for us to explore new ideas and we can execute after that.

Other: I like designing thing because design means to make life easy and better. I can't answer this question because thinks were improved every year after the feedback of students in the end semester.

The life at CEPT, the inside story.

Placements: Our department has recently started the placements and things like that. Most of the seniors either start their own business or join the place they would have interned at. I think, last year, 5-6 people got placed at the good firms. But there were a few firms that had actually come for the placement.

Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi facility is great here, so is the library. We don't have an air-conditioner in the studios of our department, and hence, that's a negative. The new buildings, however, do have centralised A/C. Our college doesn't have its hostel. The hostel of the Ahmedabad Education Society is pathetic, and their quality needs to be taken up. We have the well-equipped labs and classrooms.

Faculty: While most of our faculty members are our alumni, they are well-known and accustomed to the methodology of the college. Hence, they have a better understanding of our ideologies and thought process. Our department has recently changed the curriculum for good, so we are all still adapting to it. It is a good decision taken though.

Other: Our campus is known for its Navratri, and that's about it actually. We have a yearly fest called ROOTS, which is when we get to attend workshops and have the other fun activities such as treasure hunt, debates, cultural night, etc. The campus is lively considering the fact that all studios are open 24x7 for us to work, stay, and sleep.

Really good university for architecture and interior design.

Placements: The placement of CEPT University is very wonderful every season. The training and placement cell of our university is doing continuous and best work for increasing placements. Till now, the average of 80% students is placed every season. A company like Adani, JLL, PWC, EY, KPMG, Turner, Mascot, Mega, Simplex, etc. have visited our university campus.

Infrastructure: Our university infrastructure is best, and it is of very good quality. Campus area of our university is not much big and not also small. We have all the required facilities on our campus like Wi-Fi, designing labs, classrooms, library, medical facility, sports grounds, games, garden, auditorium, canteens, hostel, etc. And the quality of designing labs and classrooms is best in every term. The hostel rooms are also good.

Faculty: Our faculty members are very good. My experience with faculty members is very good. They are helpful, qualified and have best and skilful knowledge. By their teaching method, we can easily learn the concepts, and by this, we can solve anything related to it. The student to faculty ratio is approximately 40:1. The course curriculum is very much useful to all of us.

Only go on if you are really interested in this line. Otherwise NO!

Placements: Placement companies were not allowed on campus till 2013, because of the dignity of the college. The skills developed would automatically give an aspiring first job. You'll develop a lot of contacts here. Because the whole university is dedicated to this construction line, from architecture to interior design to planning to civil (only if you are not shy to open up).

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is great. New major amendments are taking place at the campus right now. I experienced old campus so I love it more than the new changes coming up. But they are fine as well. Facilities include canteen, stationery, computer lab, TT, common ground, basketball court, soothing lawns, free wifi with 10 Mbps speed* (very subjective to the no. of people using it, minimum you get is 500 Kbps download speed), library, computer lab (8 am-8 pm), you'll get AC classrooms and studios (almost every year), campus life and extra curricular activities are always at peak, hostels (400 m away). Hostel rooms are good and spacious (depends on how clean you keep it). Campus is very good and motivating environment.

Faculty: The course is great, you'll find practical experience of site more than any student of India. If you are really interested in civil engineering, then go on. But if you just taking a chance, then it will be hard upon you to cope up, and end up with less grades, so better decide well. Fees are very high, costs up to 80k per semester, increasing 11-12% year wise. So it's going to cost a fortune. Invest wisely. Invest only if you are really, really interested in civil engineering. Take lots of review with civil engineers before choosing this line. Faculty members are good. Only a few are exceptional according to my point of view. But all of them are qualified. You'll get industry exposure guaranteed for 2 times for full semester). Other semesters you'll have frequent site visits. You'll get the best industry exposure in this course than any other course in India, for sure. Student to faculty ratio is 80:1. Too bad.

Other: My advice would be to invest wisely. If you really aspire to pursue construction line. Then take chances. But if you are not, then definitely no. Because you'll have to work more than any other college student. Passing criteria for any exams is 50% and not 35% here. The course if of 5 years (5th year is dedicated to thesis) The degree you get is BCT (bachelors in construction technology). Earlier, till 2012, it was B.Tech (hons.) but unfortunately, it changed due to an increase in intake from 30 to 60 from 2012 to 2013 and eventually it is 80 per batch now.

Review of CEPT University.

Placements: More than 50% of placements got placed. Top recruiting companies are HCP, Prashant Parmar Architects, etc. Roles offered are of junior designer and junior product designer. Almost every student gained an internship in big companies, but it is up to a student where he or she might want to go.

Infrastructure: We have an amazing infrastructure in place based on its architecture. Amazing classrooms that are not typical school classrooms: we have studios where we play music nonstop on speakers, we have parties, and we have open discussions with faculty. Wi-Fi is available. The library is 4 floors. Medical services are provided, and the hostel mess is also okay.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and qualified for sure. We have a transparent and family-like relationship with the faculty members. The course is updated based on student feedback. Student voice is heard: there are no exams in the 5-year course. It does make the students industry ready.

Other: This course helped me to study the technical field, the architectural field, and a bit of the urban development field. Usually it is allowed to study crossover subjects. It is the biggest positive thing. Campus is very happening; every day or the other, there are events and festivals happening, and it includes batch parties, normal parties, food, cultural events, sports events, music, games, etc.
