CEPT University
About
CEPT University focuses on understanding, designing, planning,
constructing and managing human habitats. Its teaching
programs build thoughtful professionals and its research
programs deepen understanding of human settlements. CEPT
University also undertakes advisory projects to further the goal
of making habitats more livable.
The University comprises five faculties. Faculty of Architecture
was established as the School of Architecture in 1962. It
focuses on design in the private realm. The Faculty of Planning,
focused on planning in the public realm, was established in 1972
as the School of Planning. The Faculty of Technology, which
concentrates on engineering and construction, was established
in 1982 as the School of Building Science and Technology.
The Faculty of Design was established in 1992 as the School
of Interior Design. It deals with habitat related interiors, crafts,
systems, and products. Faculty of Management established in
2013 and it focuses on Habitat and Project Management.
01
CEPT University takes its name from the Center for

Environmental Planning and Technology (CEPT). CEPT and
the various schools that it comprised were established by
the Ahmedabad Education Society with the support of the
Government of Gujarat and the Government of India. Since
inception CEPT has operated as an autonomous academic
institution free to develop its academic programs and award its
own diplomas at the end of various programs of study.
The Government of Gujarat incorporated CEPT as a university
in 2005. The University Grants Commission recognized CEPT
University under section 2(f) of the UGC Act, 1956 in 2007. The
Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) of the
Government of India recognizes the University as a Scientific
and Industrial Research Organization (SIRO).
Pedagogy
The teaching programs at CEPT University focus on building
professional capacities and therefore they are centered on
studios or labs. Here, students engage with well designed lifelike problems. Coursework, seminars and research assignments,
aimed at developing conceptual and analytical abilities of
students, and skill-enhancing workshops support learning
in studios and labs. Students also have to enroll in travel and
documentation programs and to intern in professional offices
to widen their exposure.
CEPT University cherishes the individual interests and abilities of
its students. To enable each student to chart a unique course of
study and realize his or her own individual potential, programs
mandate only three quarters of the total credits that students
have to complete. Students can complete the remaining credits
by choosing from the wide range of elective courses on offer
at any of the five faculties of the university. The Faculties also

make all attempts to ensure that even within the mandatory
portion of the program, students can choose courses to suit
their practice orientation.
The belief that educating professionals requires practicing
professionals and academics to work closely together firmly
underpins CEPT Universitys pedagogic philosophy. Therefore,
CEPT University works as a collaborative of academics and
practitioners. Practitioners adept at decision-making bring
their experience to classrooms and academics impart a more
thoughtful and critical approach. Teachers at CEPT University
see themselves as coaches. Their role is to support individual
students in their explorations and in their capacity-building
quests.
02

Transforming Pedagogy
at CEPT University
Choice based Curriculum

CEPT University has adopted choice based curriculum that
gives students the flexibility to choose courses across different
faculties. This allows students to chart their own path during the
course of their study at CEPT University. It gives them greater
freedom and choice while selecting courses.
Any program of a faculty specifies only 75% of the credits by
offering mandatory courses. A student is free to pick remaining
25% credits from any faculty of CEPT University in the form of
elective courses.
A mandatory course of one program can be taken as elective
by student of other programs. This also allows for faculty
integration and ensures a multidisciplinary mix in a classroom.
Common Calendar and TimeTable

All programs follow a common annual calendar and timetable to
facilitate students from one to attend courses in other faculties.
By following the same framework of timetable and annual
calendar seamless integration of all the faculties is now possible.
Integration of Postgraduate
Programs
The postgraduate programs offering different specialization
in the same faculty are now integrated as one large program,
wherein students are encouraged to develop specialization of
their choice by combination of major and minor courses
from various Areas.
This system offers students greater choice and allows them to
make various combinations of specializations.
Common Course Typology

Any course offered in CEPT University follows either of the
listed typologies and adheres to conditions of the same. Things
like contact hours, teaching style and nature of student
engagement are governed by course typology. This is important
so that students know beforehand what kind of teaching
environment to expect while registering for a course in other
programs.
