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,” said Mr Chirayu Bhatt, Dy. Provost, CEPT University.
