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 lifelike 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 elective courses on offer
02

Instructor/s: Milind Patel
In physics for any system to be stable or balanced usually requires two opposites of the similar
stature such as Matter and Anti- matter, Electron and Positron etc. Extending the idea to the
built-form, one may need to create Anti-building along with Building to complete the act. The
exploration of both the acts will govern the studio.
