Testimonials

365体育直播 was truly a transformational experience for me as a student. We had inspiring teachers, good facilities and a great location with the right "rurban" mix. I continue to be associated with the faculty and have seen the department of architecture flower into an independent school of architecture with not just good undergraduate courses but also well-staffed post graduate programmes.

As I sit down to pen down some of the great achievements. I can feel a flurry of emotions crossing my heart. It was an incredible journey but today when that moment stares in my face I wish that time comes to a standstill. I still remember my first day at Faculty of Architecture, 365体育直播 University. Coming from a distance. I could see the amazing university town. I can say that it is much more to me. It is a place that has put me to test. Time and again. Challenging me every single time. It is the place where have rejoiced in success. And learnt from failures. It is the place that has given me an environment of unparalleled opportunities and higher learning curve. This is where I met some really great minds, that I believe will definitely play a pivotal role in carving out a glorious future for India. I came here empty handed. But I am taking back a baggage filled of memories and knowledge. I sincerely thank the entire fraternity for making my time at Faculty of Architecture, MU so joyful, comfortable and safe.
