Firstly, I wasn't allowed to study out of the station, so I had to choose a college which is in my state Telangana. And after quite a research, I found out that there are very few architecture colleges. I preferred JNAFAU at the beginning but I couldn't get admission to that and later found Ashoka School of Planning and Architecture unlike other architecture colleges this college provides transportation which is a huge plus point cause, in the area I reside in there are no architecture colleges nearby. Almost every college has a minimum distance of 30km so I chose Ashoka mainly for the traveling ease and the campus was quite good. I wrote NATA and qualified for it and then got admitted. There was one senior of mine from my intermediate college who chose Barch and was studying at VSAP, I asked her about that college, and visited too but I wasn't satisfied with it. There are not many people who choose architecture so I had no group discussions or talks or proper guidance while admission.

The faculties provided were very good. Environment in the campus is pretty. A lot of activities other than studies takes place which increases student interaction and creates easy social environment for all

I had written Nata and JEE paper 2. As for the preparation part of these exams, I learned topics from YouTube and I scored 93.5 percent in JEE paper 2. The good aspects of the college are that it has good faculty and decent amenities. The bad aspect is that the management is poor.
