Kolkata – As India stands on the cusp of a massive
urban transformation, the need for trained and skilled professionals in the
urban infrastructure and planning sectors has never been more urgent. With
cities contributing over 60% to India’s GDP while occupying just 3% of the
landmass, the country is on a fast track to becoming 50% urban within the next
few decades. This exponential growth brings with it both opportunities and
critical challenges that demand visionary planning, sustainable development,
and a robust pool of experts to lead the way.
In
response to this national imperative, CEPT
University, Ahmedabad—India’s leading University focused on the built
environment—is gearing up to engage with aspiring students and parents at the Raajkutir, IHCL SeleQtions on May 24-25,
2025 from 10 am to 7 pm.
For
more thansix decades, CEPT University has been a recognized leader in education
and research in the areas of architecture, planning, design, technology and
urban management. With a legacy of more than five decades in shaping India's
built environment, CEPT offers programs that are not only academically rigorous
but also deeply connected to real-world practice.
What
sets CEPT apart is its interdisciplinary
approach, which allows students to engage with architecture, planning,
design, technology, and management under one umbrella. It is one of the few
institutions in the country that offers specialised Undergraduate and Post
Graduate programs in Urban Planning, Urban Housing, Urban Transport System,
Building Energy Performance, Architectural Conservation and Regeneration, Urban
Management, Civil Engineering, Geomatics, Building Energy Performance,
Computation Designing and Fabrication, Furniture Design and Urban Management.
Prof Chirayu Bhatt, Dy
Provost (Academics), CEPT University,
said, “India’s future is undeniably being shaped in its cities. As we move
toward becoming one of the largest urban systems in the world, the need for
skilled, visionary professionals to plan, design, and manage our urban spaces
has never been more critical. At CEPT University, our programs are highly
curated and rigorously reviewed to remain aligned with the evolving realities
of urban development in India. For instance, we are the only institution in the
country offering a Bachelor’s in Urban Design—a discipline that is urgently
needed to address the complexities of today’s urban challenges. At CEPT, we
don’t just equip students for careers; we prepare them to shape the future of
India’s urban transformation through resilient, inclusive, and forward-thinking
approaches.”
As
per a report published by NITI Aayog in 2021, the urban economy projects to
account for 73% of the total population growth by 2036. As a result, the built
environment sector offers lucrative and
high-impact career opportunities. With
strong linkages to government departments, urban local bodies, international
development organisations, and private sector firms, CEPT’s graduates are
consistently recruited into key roles across India and abroad.
To
help students and parents better understand these opportunities, CEPT University’s admissions team will be
present at the Education Fair in Raajkutir, IHCL SeleQtions on May 24-25, 2025
from 10 am to 7 pm. Whether your interest lies in shaping inclusive housing policies, designing smart transport systems, conserving
our heritage cities, or building climate-resilient urban spaces, the CEPTteam
will be available at the on-ground to guide prospective students and their
families through academic offerings, career pathways, and the University’s
distinctive approach to education.
