## Why students choose it

- A specialist architecture campus with studios and model-making facilities.

- Digital design resources alongside material, surveying and climatology facilities.

## Things to consider

- B.Arch requires an eligible academic qualification and architecture aptitude-test result.
- Current annual fees and studio-material costs are not one confirmed package.
- Women’s housing and unrestricted international admission are not established here.

## Best fit for

- Applicants seeking a five-year studio-based architecture degree in Chennai.
- Students ready to combine design work, models and technical study.
- Families comparing a Royapettah campus with realistic housing arrangements.

## Campus and city

The academy occupies the MEASI/New College campus setting on Peters Road. Teaching spaces include design studios, lecture rooms, a model-making workshop, a materials museum and computer facilities. Library resources and the auditorium support study beyond the design studio.

The campus is at Peters Road in Royapettah, Chennai. Its city-campus location makes the accommodation decision part of the shortlist: an available boys’ hostel place or another arrangement with a practical daily journey. Studio-based study also calls for planning how drawings, models and study materials will be carried and stored.

The B.Arch programme combines design studios with model making, computer-aided drawing and three-dimensional work. Site visits and professional training connect design exercises with built work. Facilities include materials, surveying and climatology resources, while digital design resources include AutoCAD, Revit and Rhino. These are academic learning provisions, not a guaranteed paid internship or job.


## Hostel, food and safety

The 2026–27 provisional affiliation disclosure records an owned boys’ hostel inside the campus, with kitchen, dining and warden facilities. Current room availability and pricing are not established. Women’s accommodation is not confirmed in that disclosure and needs a separate housing plan.

The affiliation disclosure records a canteen and hostel kitchen/dining provision. It does not establish menus, special-diet arrangements or a current meal charge; food preferences belong in the accommodation and living-cost plan.

The academy maintains an anti-ragging committee, squad and flying squad. A grievance helpdesk accepts reports covering harassment, ragging and other concerns; the existence of these channels is not a personal-safety guarantee.

The grievance helpdesk handles academic, examination, administrative, fee and infrastructure concerns from students and other campus stakeholders. Students Traffic can help compare the architecture entry route, aptitude-test evidence and housing plan before an application.


## Frequently asked questions

### Is this the same as other MEASI colleges?

No. This profile is for MEASI Academy of Architecture at Royapettah. Other MEASI institutions have separate awards and admission processes; their programmes are not included here.

### Which degrees does the academy offer?

The current portfolio lists B.Arch, M.Arch and M.Arch Real Estate Development. The detailed entry guidance here covers the B.Arch domestic counselling route; postgraduate selection and application requirements are separate.

### How long is the B.Arch programme?

The architecture degree lasts five academic years across ten semesters. The course includes design studios, technical study and professional training.

### What school subjects and marks are needed?

The 10+2 route needs Physics and Mathematics, an eligible additional subject and at least 45% aggregate. A 10+3 diploma with Mathematics and at least 45% aggregate is an alternative academic route.

### Is an architecture aptitude test required?

Yes. An eligible NATA or JEE Paper 2 architecture result is required in addition to the academic qualification. TNEA’s counselling process combines academic and aptitude performance for its ranking.

### How does the domestic counselling route work?

Applicants use the TNEA B.Arch registration and certificate-verification process before ranking and seat choices. This route has its own nativity, schooling and category rules; an eligible test score alone does not guarantee a seat.

### Can all overseas applicants use this route?

No. The verified TNEA B.Arch route permits specified Tamil Nadu-native OCI/PIO and Sri Lankan Tamil refugee categories under exact conditions. The OCI/PIO exception excludes those born abroad after 4 March 2021. A general foreign/NRI route is not established.

### Is a current tuition amount available?

Annual tuition is on request. The payment route requires the amount assigned to the applicant. Compare course charges separately from studio materials, accommodation and daily living rather than treating them as one confirmed package.

### What facilities support architectural study?

The academy identifies design studios, a model-making workshop, materials and surveying resources, a climatology laboratory, computer facilities and a library. Digital tools include AutoCAD, Revit and Rhino.

### Does the academy have a campus logistics?

Its provisional 2026–27 affiliation disclosure records an owned boys’ campus logistics inside campus. Current room rates and availability are not established, and women’s housing needs a separate arrangement review.

### What help is available with student concerns?

The grievance helpdesk covers academic, administrative and infrastructure matters as well as harassment or ragging reports. Students Traffic can help organize an application shortlist and practical study plan.
