Admission:

The admission process for the following course - Masters in Architectural History and Research was quite interesting in my opinion. For eligibility for the course to get an M.Arch degree, one should have a minimum bachelor's degree in Architecture with a minimum of 55% aggregate marks; while for the M.A degree, an undergraduate degree in civil, construction, planning, landscape and archaeology with 55% aggregate marks. One can go to the cept official website: cept.ac.in for the admission procedure as well as our Instagram handle: cept_ahr For the application process, one can look over the application requirements on the website itself where they mention in detail what in specific one has to submit.

Admission:

The admission process was online and was three steps, one was shortlisting based on your documents, the second was a general aptitude exam, and the last was course specific exam. The student has to pass all three to get in.
