The adoption of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is one of the most exciting recent advancements in the field of education, and the organization is glad to state that they have included this policy in our curriculum. The NEP 2020 is intended to encourage a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to education, which is completely consistent with their philosophy here.

A New Approach 

INCH campus of the School of Architecture, AGI, is a place where creativity, diversity, and innovation come together to provide an unmatched learning experience. We accept students from all walks of life, and we think that the diversity we bring to the table is what makes us stronger. The campus is alive with activity as students from various backgrounds come together to pursue their passion for architecture.

With the NEP 2020, INCH has switched its emphasis from rote learning to a more practical and skill-based approach. Students are encouraged to participate in hands-on learning activities and projects to get a better grasp of architecture and design. The college has also added new courses and electives to match the industry’s increasing expectations.

The INCH teaching staff is comprised of qualified architects and industry professionals dedicated to training and directing the next generation of architects. They are committed to providing each student with specific attention and guidance so they can receive the finest education possible.

Courses Offered

They provide a total of seven courses ranging from diploma to master’s level, including a Diploma in Architecture, Diploma in Interior Design, Bachelor in Interior Design, B.Arch, M.Arch in Landscape, MPlan, and a creative course of certification in Design Magique. -This certificate program at INCH Campus provides a comprehensive study of interior design and landscape architecture. The course aims to provide students with an understanding of design fundamentals and aesthetics, as well as the complexities of running a design-based practice (budgeting and administration). The program lasts a year and focuses on both landscape and interior design.

Active Participation 

They were also one of the exhibition partners on the Living Heritage of Rajasthan, organized in the newly constructed Rajasthan International Centre, Jaipur, which was also attended by the Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Shree Ashok Gehlot. The organization tries to never miss a chance to showcase their students’ talent with the ideology of experimenting in every possible way. 

Last year, the Nature Clubs of the campus organized a 5-day workshop on waste management integrated with urban farming that focused on a new way of family farming that is a perfect solution for hot and dry areas as well as for rocky, compact, shallow, and arid soils. Every year, a cultural week is organized, comprising different collaborative programs, fun activities, and even sports. Treasure hunts, fashion walks, mural art, and ramp walks on different themes are also organized for both the faculties and students. Field trips to various sites with different significant architectural features are also an important part of architectural education. Having the belief that seeing first-hand buildings of significant architectural importance, from historic treasures to modern structures, will help inspire students’ future careers, the faculties are more focused on practical works.
