CEPT
University
About The Ahmedabad Education Society (AES) established the Center for Environment Planning & Technology (CEPT) in the year 1962 with the inception of School of Architecture (SA) through grant-in-aid from Government of Gujarat. The School of Planning (SP) was established in 1972 with financial support from Government of India (MHRD), Government of Gujarat and Ford Foundation. The other schools; School of Building Science and Technology (SBST) and School of Interior Design (SID) were established in 1982 and 1992 respectively with grant-in-aid from Government of Gujarat. Initially CEPT was established and run by Ahmedabad Education Society (AES). In the year 1994, a separate trust and a society, CEPT Society was formed. CEPT is registered as a Society and Public Charitable Trust. CEPT has been registered under the Societies whether Registered Society/ Company/ Others Registration Act 1860 with the Asst. Registrar of Societies, Ahmedabad Region, Ahmedabad, vide Registration No. Guj/4185/Ahmedabad dated 24 Jan 1994. Since inception CEPT 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 recognized by the State of Gujarat and the statutory regulatory body for technical courses - the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE). Consequently, the students completing various programs at CEPT were awarded bachelor’s and master’s degrees. CEPT became a University by the Gujarat State Legislature Act of 2005 with effect from April 12, 2005. CEPT University has been recognized by the University Grants Commission under Section 2(f) of the UGC Act, 1956 in February 2007. The University is recognized as Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (SIRO) by Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR).
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 life-like 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
page | 1
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 University’s pedagogic philosophy. Therefore, CEPT University works as a collaborative of academics and 2 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.
Organization Structure The Governing Body frames broad policy and has overarching powers over the functioning of the University. The Board of Management constitutes the Executive Council, Academic and Research Council, and, the Finance and Development Committee. It supervises functioning of the University and has powers to review all acts of the aforementioned councils and committee. The Executive Council, the Academic and Research Council and the Finance and Development Committee manage and develop academic, research and all other programs and activities of the University. Faculties are responsible for all teaching programs at CEPT University. Faculty Councils and Boards of Studies are responsible for formulating policies pertaining to the various Faculties. CEPT University’s Academic Offices (Undergraduate Programs, Postgraduate Programs, Doctoral Programs, Diploma and Certificate Programs and Exchange Programs) are responsible for supporting and overseeing teaching programs in the various faculties. CEPT University Resources (Library, Workshops, Labs, Archives, University Press) and CEPT University Services (Student Services, Career Services, IT Services, Outreach Services, and Campus Services) are responsible for supporting teaching and research at the University. CEPT University Research and Consulting (under registration) will be a wholly owned unit of CEPT University, registered under Sec. 25 of the Companies Act (1956). It will manage CEPT University’s contract, research and consulting activities. The Chairman, the President, the Director, the Deans and the Registrar are the key officers of the University.

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.
