My journey started at DYPUSOA in 2015. It was a sapling ambition about to grow into an astonishing tree. Along with regular academics, we're encouraged to participate in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, which are closely kneaded with rigorous academics, help us in our overall development as a sensitive professional. Healthy competition is always encouraged and supported by the faculties which help us in pushing our boundaries. Pre internship guidance and industry alignment were very helpful in successfully completing our professional training. Campus always has one or other co-curricular or extra-curricular activities that we participate in and enjoy along with our studies. It's these things and many others that make DYPUSOA experience unique and enriching.

After spending the crucial four-years of my life at DYPUSOA, I can confidently say that if “you believe, you can become” and everything here is conducive to that effect. From beautiful campus to smart classrooms, from the wonderful infrastructure to the incredible teachers, from the college's canteen to the hospitality staff, we are fortunate to have facilities and opportunities galore for sure. Including regular academics, we participate and host various co-curricular and extra-curricular events to develop our interpersonal, managerial, and leadership skills. From seminars to games and from exhibitions to concerts, we have left no stone unturned.

DYPUSOA is one of the best architectural colleges in Pune and perhaps in Maharashtra. Beautiful location, an all-in-one campus with the stadium, and great faculty, everything about it is noteworthy. Regular classes are never compromised and learning never stops. Every academic accomplishment is simply a stepping-stone for higher achievement. All the regular subjects are enriched through parallel workshops, electives, seminars, and vertical studios, to provide us with hands-on professional experience. Nonetheless, being part of the incumbent Students Council, I along with other members are always supported and encouraged by the management. We participate and host many co-curricular events especially MERAKI -our annual students' work exhibition and intercollege mega-events like NASA. All of it contributes towards our training as an architect in one form or the other. It feels great when you're consciously working towards building a bright future for yourself.

DYPUSOA is one of the top schools of architecture in Pune. Its amicable and verdant campus is rejuvenating, especially after rigorous studios and classes. Curricular and co-curricular activities are masterfully intertwined to be enjoyable and knowledgeable at the same time. In every class, faculties blend their research insights and industry experience to seamlessly bridge theory and professional practice. Every 'Study-tour' is a transformative experience to behold as we are exposed to the various facets of observational and analytical learning. Co-curricular activities like ‘Vertical Studio’ and ‘Workshops’ provide us with one of kind first-hand experience of working with a renowned Indian and global architects and test our mantle as budding architects. I feel a deep sense of gratitude towards DYPUSOA for helping me build my professional future successfully.

DYPUSOA feels more like a second home. Apart from inculcating top-notch architectural education, we’re maturing as an ‘individuals’ due to DYPSOA’s holistic pedagogy and personality development approach. Its rigorous academic activities are second to none. With every semester, I feel more confident and better prepared to face and ace future professional competition. All the faculties are thoroughly professional, experienced, and enthusiastic about imparting the best of the architectural knowledge there is. Curricular and co-curricular activities are designed as two sides of the same coin with a singular aim of giving every student a professional edge. I consider myself lucky to be at DYPUSOA.

Deepak Tayde Fourth Year Admission: 2015-16

I am from West-Bengal. I was confused while selecting an architecture college. DYPUSOA is proving to be the most instrumental bridge between my schooling and my professional career. Architectural practice is immensely demanding, competitive, and needs absolute devotion to succeed; DYPSOA focuses on all these aspects through its curricular and co-curricular activities. Regular academic studies allow us to think out of the box but without losing its contextual applicability. All co-curricular activities like competitions, vertical studios, study tours, workshops help us understand the depth of architecture not just as an academic course but as a professional lifestyle that pervades all aspects of human life, society, and environment. With newfound confidence in myself, I am looking forward to excelling in my professional career to make my parents and DYPUSOA proud.

Ma. Dipayan Sarkar Third Year Admission: 2017-18

Hi, where to begin; DYPUSOA provided me with the platform to explore and improve my artistic thinking and skills to become an individualistic architect. What I like the most is the hands-on learning approach and encouragement for out of the box thinking; we learn more from doing things than from books. All the events are wholesome fun and learning experiences for all of us. Every day here brings new challenges and learning opportunities. Our teachers work hard to make us understand difficult concepts in innovative ways. They are always considerate but never reluctant in imparting discipline. I’m happy to be here, Thanks DYPUSoA!

Ms. Manisha Second Year Admission: 2018-19

Stepping out of school and entering college is a turning point in everyone’s life and so was mine. I had chosen a course and a college that was entirely new to me. However, it turned out to be the best decision of my life. The amazing team of faculties teaches us to freely express our opinions and be brave in everything that we do. All year round we are given various opportunities to explore our creative potential through curricular and co-curricular activities. From regular classes to site visits, seminars, workshops, electives, and interactive sessions with renowned architects we exposed and encouraged to learn from all experiences. From personal to professional life, DYPUSOA trains students to be the best version of themselves.

Ms. Sonal Second Year Admission: 2018-19

DYPUSOA for me is a platform to express and explore my creative side and train it to become a socially and environmentally conscious architect. The faculty is more than just teachers here, they are mentors with whom you can chart your path to fully realize your creative potential. You never feel left-out, every curricular or co-curricular activity is designed to make learning interesting and to express yourself freely. It's this balance that I like the most and encourages me to perform better at everything that I do at DYPUSOA.

Ms. Sakshi Borse Second Year Admission: 2018-19

"Education is the root of all humanity", education not only empowers the mind but help us become responsible human beings. At DYPUSOA I find this adage in action. Academics are taught as personal and social responsibility. The campus is clean, green, and people are friendly. Teachers make sure that you have understood the concepts and take extra efforts to correct our mistakes. Sometimes teachers are strict but it's good for us to maintain discipline in the class. Strict and timely submissions teach us to work under pressure. Regular site visit makes learning practical and design projects and model making helps us to explore new material in different ways. Above all, we like the study tours the most as it gave us a new perspective about architecture and the buildings around us.
