Rachana Sansad Academy of Architecture, Mumbai Reviews on Infrastructure, Campus, Placement, Facilities & Faculty

The infrastructure is slightly below average. As it is a government college, only the necessary equipments are available. The maintenance of electrical gadgets is not good but works well enough. College has facilities like Library, which is well maintained and Auditorium, which is newly constructed.

The faculties are experienced and passionate about architecture. As this is a very rigorous course, the faculties try their best to test you and train you for the life ahead. Students may find this irritating and frustrating at times, but it is what this course demands. Recently, many new young faculties have been added, but they are also pretty experienced and bring a new perspective in addition to the experienced faculties.

In the field of Architecture, there is no real concept of 'Placements' as such, but because AoA is reputed and well known institute, students usually get internships and jobs through reference of the faculties. Although I haven't experienced this yet,I have heard from he seniors that most of the batch does get a opportunity through references of the faculties.

I am in the aided section, so the fees is really reasonable and for the quality if education we are getting, it is really good. The unaided section is very pricey and the fees difference between both section is significant. Both the sections have different set of faculties, although the portion for both is the same, the curriculum moves differently and the timetable is also different.

The campus life is average, as we don't have any 'campus' as such. The students bodies do organize exciting events and competitions often but due to the tiring deadlines and exhaustion from the course, students often are stuck in a dilemma whether to attend the event or not.

Overall, our institute ranks in the top 3 Arch colleges in Maharashtra. Although there have been changes in the faculty members, there is not much difference in the quality of education. Students may feel the lack of experienced faculties in the first year, but as they progress ahead, the experienced faculties are assigned.

My college has a good and spacious infrastructure. It has presentation rooms for jury and a well lit auditorium along with a canteen staff offices and much more that is not me of the basic requirements for a good and well planned architectural college

I feel my college is very persistent on us getting the maximum hands on experience in our field and they have provided us with ample opportunities to do so. The concepts are well explained and the practical knowledge is passed down to us at every turn for us to make the most of the given opportunity

As much as I’ve heard there are great placements that my college grants to our students as idk the exact numbers because that is subjective but rest assured my college offers good internships programs to us that are mandatory for us to do in the last year; the third year itself

Compared to other colleges yes i feel the value for money is much better and practical. Mine was around 1.2 to 1.5 lakhs maybe. I do feel the course interior design that I study is demanding monetarily in terms of prints, stationary, paper and softwares but the lessons and the knowledge we get through feedback’s make it worth it

The campus life can be a little stressful in terms of the assignments and the pressure to complete them but peers and the students are good and it’s fun to hangout with them at some of our spots in college especially when we have our annual events and festivals coming up. The teachers too are very inclusive and involved in the process. My college is located in one of the prime places in Prabhadevi and the atmosphere around is good

Yes that my college is not the best on management but has really great teachers who we learn from a lot
