About
The Ahmedabad Education Society (AES) established the Centre 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 1991 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 bachelors and masters 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 Universitys 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 Universitys 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 Universitys contract,
research and consulting activities. The Chairman, the President, the Director, the Deans and the Registrar are the key
officers of the 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 Time Table

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.
