An Excellent choice

I basically opted because it's no MPC tho there's a little maths it's still manageable because it is school level. It does prepare well for the real world but I wish it doesn't only stick traditionality but also international since graduated students can't directly intern in foreign countries unless they do masters over there. Design exams are 5hrs and others are 3hrs. You might find it difficult if you didn't do research on the respective topic otherwise you're always good to go. Frequency is moderate for exams. I wish faculty is kire about what to bring in a student rather than leaving us to figure out on our own and giving a hand full of time than less time and more work

I'm a 100% scholarship student in gitam school of architecture, Visakhapatnam. I paid nothing except my stationary and study tours and case study's which are a fun way to learn about architecture and this comes with pressure to make it all look good. My fee was about 2,17,500 per year but due to my nata score of 142/200 I'm scholarship student since every student who scores more than 140 is eligible for this. There are scholarships based on jee mains and nata with 15% scholarship mandatory for everyone then 25% 50% 75% and 100% there are also merit based and sports and alumni and staff scholarships

Gitam always has some fest or the other, regarding GSA we have Nasa events , trophies, ANC, ZNC, Nexus event, NSS, study tours, regional tours, site visits in may, December, january and November and July are peak times. Books are a wide range , many are available in the department and main library. Technological aspects we have many softwares like cad, SketchUp, rhino and 3d printing machine, carpentry workshop, clay and paper workshop. Sports are one fun event in GSA. It's always a blast and alumni sports events and faculty events, there are many clubs like art, photography, dance, music, film clubs and they help in overall for the course and students since they are actually important and relevant to students, student portals and parent portal which keeps a track of everything classes attendance and notes and studies.

I've also applied for SPA Vijayawada but since is it is far from my city I joined here and it was a good decision and I don't regret coming here. I chose it since it is nearby and it is reputated. Admission process here is after writing the respective entrance exam of B.Arch like JEE mains B.arch or NATA . You apply in the respective college site and visit and speak with counselor and complete admission process by paying 75k which will be returned back after the college starts. Deducting the counselling fee we get 72k in our hands. Some students will keep the money as is for future use in study tours. Nata is more preferable. Admission process is smooth unless you're not clear where to go and choose

Faculty is about 25 while the students of first year are 60 and the gradual students from year 2 are less than 30 and girls are 60-70% more compared to boys. Faculty is very friendly and will definately guide any studen who come for help be in study or life they are always good. Course structure is 10 semesters of all 5 years with internship and exam system is mid and sem and make up and supplies and revaluation. Most exams are very easy apart the make up examinations which happen for low attendance students which is quite hard than normal paper students write before. And most of the syllabus and what they is relevant here

The cafe, parks, and coke station and the mess are some OG good spots to hangout. I'm not a hosteller but it is definitely safe and their security. Locality is also safe. Rushikonda, sai vennala, china town, cabritoz, stone water, dominos, prasad are some good spots. Campus timing are 8am-8pm... College timings are 8:00am-4:00pm and with freshers or any other late night fests and shore fests they extend time
