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.
I was interested in it from my childhood, all my school report cards have it written in the goal/aim section, but lately, I was confused and wasn't stable with my choice, but I chose what I wanted back. The faculties are good at the college, well qualified, of course, it is difficult as there's no subject related to us from 1st to 10th.
No, I'm still studying in 2nd sem so I didn't experience any internships or placements, but my seniors did and they said it was a good experience to work on real-life projects, I might do internships later after I learn the subject from the core.
Usually, placements do not happen in the architectural course, and internships happen to be in the 9th sem which is in the last year ( 5th year ), it will last for 6 months, and after it will be the thesis. Maybe in the upcoming years, we'll have placements.
We have a hostel and mess and canteen, there are huge gardens and greenery all over, it's spacious and cool. It has 2 courtyards, grounds for volleyball and throwball, a basketball court, and a cricket area. Food quality at the hostel is not that good, but they're improving little by little. @ashoka.ac is an Instagram page.
One good thing is that placements aren't treated as something that only matters in the final year. From the early semesters we are encouraged to build projects, improve our coding skills, and create a strong resume. That gives us enough time to prepare instead of rushing later. The college also shares internship opportunities and guides students through the application process. There are resume reviews, mock interviews, and career sessions that help us understand what companies expect. I feel the support is there throughout the journey, the more effort you put in, the more you can benefit from these opportunities.
Best part is the college doesn't wait until the final year to talk about careers. We get opportunities to work on projects, improve our coding, build resumes, and attend interview preparation sessions from the early semesters. Internship opportunities are shared regularly and the college guides students through the application process. This has helped me gain practical experience and understand what companies expect.
From what I have experienced the college starts preparing us for placements much earlier than I expected. We regularly have coding practice, project work, resume reviews, aptitude sessions and mock interviews, so you are improving little by little instead of waiting for the final year. The college also shares internship and job opportunities with students. I feel the support is definitely there but your results depend on how much effort you put into building your skills.
In our district kamala is the only college with highest placement records .many more MNC are visiting our college and student are getting placed in many companies with highest packages and currently they are leading good lifes
Since I am still a student I haven't gone through the final placement season yet. But from what I have seen the college starts preparing us quite early. We have regular coding sessions, aptitude training, mock interviews and resume building workshops. The placement team also shared internship opportunities whenever they are available. I feel the college is more focused on making students job ready than waiting until the final year. If you stay consistent with your coding, projects and overall skills, you will be in a much better position when placement season starts. Overall I think the college provides good support, but students also need to put in their own effort.
As a current student I haven't reached the final placement season yet but the college has already started preparing us. We get regular updates about internship opportunities, and many students apply from the early semester itself. Along with that there are sessions on resume writing, aptitude, communication skills and interview preparation. The college also encourages us to build projects and improve our technical skills, which helps while applying for internships. I feel these small efforts throughout the course will make a big difference when placements begun.
One important thing I like about the course is that it isn't only about reading books and writing exams. We get to practice what we learn through coding, assignments, and small projects, which makes the subject easier to understand. The syllabus also covers topics that are useful for todays tech industry. The faculty is friendly and easy to talk to. They explain concepts in a simple way, clear doubts without any hesitation, and we are already ready to help if someone is struggling.
Since our batch hasn't reached final placements yet, I can't talk about placement results. But the college has already started preparing us through coding pratice, resume building sessions, mock interviews, and career guidance. Internship opportunities are shared regularly, and students are encouraged to apply from the early semesters itself. I like that the focus in on building our skills first instead of waiting until the final year. I feel this preparation will really help us when placement season begins.
NIAT is a relatively new institute the first batch hasn't graduated yet, so there isn't any official placement record available. However the college has done a good job of preparing students through practical learning, coding and real world projects. Many students have already secured internships from the first year itself which gives them valuable industry experience. Along with technical skills the college also provides guidance for resume building and interviews, making students feel more confident about future placement opportunities.
Eligibility is that we must maintain atleast 60-70% aggregate overall without any active backlogs. Recruiters are Infosys, TCS, Wipro, AWS etc. Total no. of offers made: All branches combined get 700-1100+ offers. Highest package is 52 lpa offered by AWS, and average package is about 6 lpa. About 60% students get placements. After getting my degree, I intend to get a good job in campus placements in companies like AWS, and go towards VLSI field
