Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore (Also known as: MSRIT Bangalore)

RAMAIAH...the only college where a new building keeps popping up every weekend. The construction never ceases, and after summer vacations students generally can't recognise the college. The rumour is that the Ramaiah family should never stop construction as it is a bad omen. So I can gladly say that the infrastructure rocks and they keep developing it. Our campus has 4 canteens , large staircases, and the quadrangle. These are our addas. We would love to have a little more greenery in our campus's concrete jungle. The Archi block is the best part of the campus. We paint the walls, hang art installations and decorate everything. It is the most lively and fun place to be. We have our Archi fest INSPIRIT, where we call world-renowned architects and have a lot of fun activities. Our college conducts department fests as well as the college fest UDBHAV,and also celebrates all the festivals including Pongal, Onam, Rajyotsava, holi...etc. We have a whole range of clubs like photography, NSS, dance, music..etc. There is sure to be some event or the other happening every day in college. Our architecture faculty is good. We go for an educational and fun trip every semester, to places like goa, Pondicherry, Europe, America..etc. The hostilities have the most fun and the new hostels are pretty good. There are a wide variety of students from Qatar, Dubai and other regions. All cultures are welcomed. The college is definitely affordable for students who enter through CET or COMEDK. Overall, Ramaiah is a good college to study in as it focuses on extracurriculars as well as on studies.

Architecture is the art of creation, of spaces, volumes and character. Its an art that can't be bound in textbooks or theories. It goes beyond the lines we read and the lines we draw. This is what lacks in most colleges. Inspiration. Architecture in Ramaiah was halfway there I guess. The exposure to various national competitions and workshops is really good. Although the system is very monotonous and tiresome, I somehow found my way out to love the subject. I wish the faculty were more open to creativity rather than being bound to the system. But all in all, it was one amazing experience with unforgettable memories.

Architecture in ramaiah has been a roller coaster ride. Design is a process that is distinct for every student pursuing architecture. Spite of the unsynchronised ideas of the teachers and students, there was an immense amount of learning and self-learning, the degree of which varied from one student to another. The staff always pressed for fresh ideas. Conceptualizing a new project was always overwhelming. Although quite a few workshops, seminars and talks by renowned architects were organised by the department, i'd be honest and say we aren't practical chaps. Knowledge of application outside of the department walls is limited. We have an unmatched enthusiasm in the extra curricular arena and the trophy is all ours. We pulled off a great show at INSPIRIT 2014.
