the curriculam is well curated, with giving importance to real world design problems, hands on training and industrial knowledge. However there is a lacking the software training aspect as the latest softwares are not included - which could be an area of improvement.

The campus life is genarally on a up and down curve. During my college days the campus life was very active and vibrant, annually the general festivals like onam, christmas, Holy, Ifthar etc. are all celeberated. The library is also well equiped with good collections of books. There are facilities for activities like carroms, badminton, etc. However a proper football court could be considered as an area in which the infrastructure of the campus could be improved along with regular maintanence works. There are also many clubs that are active in the campus like music (The island project), editorial, dance, think architecture club (ATAC), drama club etc.

The reason I applied to this college was mainly because of the accesibility compared to other colleges as it is in the heart of the city and its location which is in the centre of a lush green Island which makes it a perfect setting for learning architecture. Besides this other factors that influenced me were that :- 1. Practicing architectects where very much in close relationship with the college. 2. The students are encouraged to participate in IIA related Programes, designing projects with importance to social service etc. 3. The college has tie up with many international universities and also has internationally acclaimed recourse personals who often visi and conduct workshops further enhancing the learning curve

The faculties are allwell equiped and very friendly. The only problem is that the the faculties keep changing, therefore loosing continuity. All the faculties are good with a few exceptions. The subject which has the most faliure rate is mostly structural design regardless of the faculty. The curriculam in general is updated and advanced however considering software training there is a gap, and the most latest softwares are not included.

Night life is not very active on campus, the Hostel is also located off campus limitting the scope for it. It is also not safe at night as the entry and exit to and from campus can be very challenging at night due to lack of street lights on the road to the campus.
