SPA New Delhi B.Planning Hostel and Campus

Should you pick B.Planning at SPA New Delhi?
This course suits students who want to plan cities and towns, and who are ready for a master's or a planning job later.
Pick it if:
You plan a master's after the degree: 19 of the 22 graduates of 2025 went for higher studies, the most common path from this course here.
You want city planning, not building design: B.Planning here takes four years and covers land use, housing and transport, while B.Arch takes five years.
Your fee budget is small: the full fee without hostel is INR 3.87 Lakhs, and SC and ST students pay INR 20,000 less a semester.
You want to study in Delhi: the campus is at ITO, so city offices and planning firms are a short metro ride away.
Skip it if:
You want a campus job after the degree: only 3 of the 22 graduates of 2025 were placed, at a median pay of INR 6 LPA.
You need a hostel room in year 1: the 2024 first-year planning list gave hostel seats to only 12 students, so many rent a room.
You count on last year's closing rank: the OPEN close moved from 133 in round 1 to 233 in the last round of 2025.
You plan to pay the fee late: you pay the first semester fee at JoSAA to accept the seat, or you lose the seat.
Counsellor's advice
If your rank is inside the round 1 close for your category, freeze this seat. If you want a job right after the degree, keep a college with stronger placements above it.

FAQs on SPA New Delhi B.Planning
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is B.Planning at SPA New Delhi worth the fee?▾
Yes, if you want a career in city planning. The full fee without hostel is INR 3.87 Lakhs, and placed graduates of 2025 got a median pay of INR 6 LPA. That is low for a fee this size, so the course pays back best if you go on to a master's or a planning job. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block first.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Few students get a job on campus. Only 3 of the 22 graduates of 2025 were placed, at a median pay of INR 6 LPA. Planning firms, consultancies and government planning offices hire in small numbers. If you need a job right after the degree, start your internships early and build contacts from year 2.
Is this course good for higher studies?▾
Yes, this is the most common path from this course. 19 of the 22 graduates of 2025 went for higher studies. A master's in planning opens senior roles in planning bodies and consultancies. If you plan one, keep a good grade from year 1 and pick a thesis topic that fits the master's you want.
Should I take B.Planning or B.Arch at this school?▾
Take B.Planning if you like cities, maps, data and policy, and B.Arch if you want to design buildings. B.Planning takes four years and B.Arch takes five. Both seats come through JoSAA on the Paper 2 ranks, so check both closing ranks before you fill your choices.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a campus job straight after the degree, or a hostel room from the first year. Only 3 of 22 graduates of 2025 were placed, and the 2024 first-year planning list gave hostel seats to only 12 students. If either of these matters most to you, keep another college above this one.
Should I take this seat if my rank is just above the closing rank?▾
Not on last year's number alone. The OPEN seat closed at rank 133 in round 1 and 233 in the last round of 2025. A rank near 233 gets in only if seats move in later rounds. Keep this course in your list, float the choice and use the rank checker above for your category.
Should I wait a year and try for a better rank?▾
Only if you can improve your Paper 2B rank by a lot. The OPEN close moved from 133 to 233 across the 2025 rounds, so a small gain may not change much. If your rank already clears the round 1 close, take the seat now instead of losing a year.
Is Delhi a good city for a planning student?▾
Yes, for internships and contacts. The campus is at ITO in central Delhi, so city offices and planning firms are a short metro ride away. The problem is the cost of a room, because hostel seats are few. If you cannot get a hostel seat, plan your rent before you accept the seat.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Write JEE Main Paper 2B and fill this course in your JoSAA choice list. JoSAA gives the seat in the round your rank clears. You accept it by paying the first semester fee at JoSAA, then report at the school with your originals for the document check, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 4-year fee is INR 3.87 Lakhs without hostel. With a hostel room it comes to INR 5.07 Lakhs, and mess is extra. These are the 2025-26 fees, and the 2027 batch fee may be a little higher. Both totals sit in the fee block above.
Do I get the fee back if I leave the seat?▾
Only in some cases. If you leave while admissions are still on, the school refunds the fee only if your seat is filled again. If it is not, or if you joined in a spot round, you get back only the security deposits of INR 20,000. Read the refund rules before you pay.
Can I get a hostel room in the first year?▾
Maybe, but do not count on it. The 2024 first-year planning list gave hostel seats to 12 students, chosen on merit and category. Girls stay on the ITO campus and boys at Maharani Bagh. Apply for the hostel as soon as you report, and keep a rented room as a backup.
The college features a highly qualified faculty with a favorable 1:7 student-to-faculty ratio, fostering personalized attention and support for academic and personal growth. The curriculum emphasizes practical, project-based learning, focusing on essential technical skills like GIS, AutoCad, Photoshop, and Excel. Despite being a top planning institution in India, undergraduate placements are challenging, with only 20% receiving offers, while postgraduate placements are better. Approximately 25% of students pursue higher studies, and 90% in planning opt for further education.
The college requires two six-week internships, which students must secure themselves, though the college provides recommendation letters. Architecture department placements reach up to 20 lakhs, planning department up to 12 lakhs, with an average package of 6 lakhs. Key recruiters include CBRE, L&T, and AECOM. Tuition fees are approximately Rs. 49,000 per semester for General/OBC and Rs. 29,000 for SC/ST, with a first-semester security deposit of Rs. 20,000. Hostel fees are Rs.
27,000 annually, and mess fees recently increased to Rs. 35,000. Overall, including hostel charges, fees approximate Rs. 1,30,000 annually. Scholarships, including the Blue Star Scholarship, are available, but the mess fee hike poses financial challenges. The placement cell is weak, but strong alumni networks provide support.
