Campus: The college's infrastructure hasn't really changed much in the 75 years it's been around. The hostel rooms are small and crowded, especially in the hot Delhi weather.

Campus: I was a bit surprised that the facilities at SPA aren't as great as I thought a top college would have. But the education is really good here. The classrooms and studios could be better, and the campus is not very big. Overall, the infrastructure is just okay, not amazing.

Admission: The faculty here are super knowledgeable, but the coursework could use more real-world examples. It's heavy on theory but lacks hands-on experience. The teachers are really supportive and go the extra mile to prepare you for life after college.

Placement: The placement rate is pretty low, only around 2% of students got jobs. Not many people go for placements because they like to start their own businesses instead of working for someone else. After the course, most students choose to study postgraduate.

They offer roles like architect, structural engineer, and project manager.

Campus: There's no Wi-Fi, but there are labs. The library is awesome, and the other facilities are good too. The hostel doesn't have great facilities, but the vibe is amazing feels like home. I really missed being there during the lockdown. It's definitely the best place to be!

Admission: The teachers here are really helpful, they all have Ph.D.s and lots of experience. We learn about 3D and 2D software, and start drawing from year one. The semester exams are kinda tough, but not impossible. You need a 40% to pass both internal and external exams.

Placement: I was impressed in my first year when about 60% of students got jobs. The highest salary was 1.2 million and the lowest was 130,000. Everyone could do internships, especially in architecture. Lots of companies offered internships that sometimes turned into job offers.

Campus: The Wi-Fi works great in both the school and the hostel. You can easily use the computer labs and check out books from the library. They also help you with your thesis. The food in the hostel mess is really good. And a doctor comes by the hostel five days a week too.
