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). From 2002 - 2005, CEPT was affiliated to the Hemachandracharya North Gujarat University at Patan. 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 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 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.

Credits: 2
Type: Theory
Instructor/s: To be finalised
This lecture course, looks at the preservation of our cultural legacy. Heritage and conservation are two unique aspects of human life. Heritage stands not only for that which has been, but also for that which is not only for the past in heritages’ facts but also for the present in record (i.e. conservation), and hence it implies in itself the union of these two elements. These two aspects are to be viewed from both societal advantage and individual interest. The Gujarat region is very rich and variegated in these fields.

Instructor/s: Shrawan Kumar Acharya, Darshini Mahadevia
The concept and practice of `modern’ urban planning has undergone substantial changes over the years. It is necessary that our actions from today forward are rooted in an in-depth understanding of planning history’s changing trends. This course develops a theoretical basis for planning interventions based on changing development paradigms. It covers the gamut of planning interventions in the urban and regional space, positing that development planning has evolved from purely `statist’ and `economistic’ approach to more participation and people-centred approaches, and planning strategies based on these theoretical understandings will be much more sound and inclusive in addressing today’s problems. The emphasis of the course is on students’ comprehension ofparadigms/approaches in planning and ability to articulate a theory behind a policy, programme or plan.
