The Bachelor of Architecture program at DCRUST admits students based on their NATA scores and 12th-grade marks. Applicants must apply online via the university website and participate in an online counseling process, with admission confirmed upon document submission and fee payment. The total fee for the five-year course is approximately ₹2,50,000, with the first year's fee at ₹55,000 and subsequent years at ₹45,800 each. Hostel accommodation costs an additional ₹22,000 annually, excluding the monthly mess fee of ₹1,800. Scholarships and fee concessions are available for students from low-income families. Faculty quality is mixed, with a low faculty-to-student ratio due to a lack of new hires in over a decade. No direct campus placements are available for architecture students, who must use personal portfolios to secure jobs. Internships are independently pursued, with stipends ranging from ₹500 to ₹20,000. In contrast, other branches like Mechanical and Civil Engineering enjoy strong campus placements, with over 300 recruiters and an 86% placement rate. BTech students have received offers as high as ₹57 Lakh annually, with average packages around ₹6 Lakh. Scholarships are offered based on criteria like caste, academic performance, and household income, but accessibility and impact are sometimes questioned. Overall, the program is affordable compared to private colleges, but some students feel certain facilities are lacking.
