SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE
Ramaiah Institute of Technology (RIT), Bangalore, is a leading institution offering
undergraduate, postgraduate and research programs in the areas of engineering, management and
architecture. The institute was established in the year 1962, under the aegis of Gokula Education
Foundation. Its mission is to deliver global quality technical education by nurturing a conducive
learning environment for a better tomorrow through continuous improvement and customization.

The School of Architecture, RIT Bangalore, was established in the year 1992. Since its
establishment, the School has played a vital role in providing quality education. The Council of
Architecture (COA) and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) have recognized
this program.

The mission of the school is to uphold the RIT mission and to thus provide quality education to
the students and mould them to be excellent architects with adequate design and management
skills and noble human qualities.

Full time faculty members having postgraduate qualifications from prestigious institutions in
India and abroad are teaching at The School of Architecture. Experienced and well-respected
practicing architects are invited to provide their experiences as visiting faculty. New milestones
are continually being set and achieved. The synergy of the progressive management, committed
faculty and students are ensuring excellent academic results year after year. This is reflected in
the high number of University ranks that are secured by the students of the School.

The School of Architecture is now autonomous (affiliated to VTU) providing scope for further
improvement. The focus has been towards fostering novel concepts and solutions in Architectural
Design. The student’s response is very encouraging, and the school recognizes and appreciates
such good students by awarding them. After graduation, many students have pursued higher
studies in various universities in the country and abroad. There is a great demand for the school
graduates in the industry and the School is developing initiatives towards co-branding of the
industry and the School. Many students have started their own enterprise and architectural
practices as well.

All this has been possible as a result of the efforts of the impeccable faculty of the School. The
faculty is committed to the welfare and success of the students. The teachers of the school are
also engaged in enhancing their knowledge and skills and many are engaged in research activities
as well. The School has experts in specialized disciplines like Habitat Design, Product Design,
Urban Design, Urban Planning, Landscape Architecture, and Interior Design. The faculty also
actively participates in national and international conferences and publishes and presents papers.

The School as part of a consultancy had started off with the maiden project to redevelop the RIT
engineering college campus and is now involved in various campus designs.
