About CEPT University
CEPT University is an university in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, established in 2005. CEPT University is privately managed and self-financing. It is affiliated to CEPT University. CEPT University offers 14 programmes, 4 at undergraduate level and 5 at postgraduate level. These include Faculty of Architecture: 1 programme (UG), Faculty of Design: 2 programmes (UG), Faculty of Technology: 1 programme (UG), Faculty of Planning: 1 programme (UG) and Faculty of Architecture: 6 programmes (PG), among others. The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 100 seats. The 2026 public self-disclosure identifies six academic units/faculties in the university structure, four undergraduate programmes, 17 postgraduate programmes and three PhD programmes. It names Prof. Barjor Mehta as President/Acting Director rather than Vice-Chancellor. No university-wide attendance percentage, medium of instruction, faculty headcount, or laboratory count was explicitly published in the reviewed official sources. The 75% attendance figure found in an official CEPT document applies specifically to the Foundation Programme, not demonstrably to the university as a whole, so it is not reported here. Coverage is based on official pages available for the 2026-27 cycle; programme-specific admissions and fee details were not requested in this schema. CEPT originated as the School of Architecture in 1962, but the university was incorporated under the Gujarat state Act in 2005; 2005 is recorded as the university establishment year. UGC Section 2(f) recognition is stated by CEPT from 2007. The official 2026 self-disclosure states that CEPT has no affiliated colleges. No official NAAC grade, NBA programme accreditation, AISHE code, or 12(B) status was established from the cited sources. The 2026 admissions page reports 4 undergraduate, 18 postgraduate and 3 doctoral programmes; its programme list contains five undergraduate programme names, so the displayed count should be treated as the university's current published summary rather than independently reconciled.
