What is it like to study at the School of Planning and Architecture (Delhi, Bhopal, Vijayawada)?

Abhishikta Banerjee

02 Feb 22

One of my friends recently graduated from the School of Planning and Architecture Delhi. Here is some snippet of his experience.

The campus is situated at the heart of the city. It is split into two blocks. There is hardly any space for extra-curricular activities.
The faculty base is quite good and they also bring visiting professors, guest lecturers, etc. However, there is a lack of a research interface.
The administration operates the same way as any other Govt. organization.

Overall, you will have a unique experience on campus.
