GCAD started in 2008. This institute is affiliated to Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram University of Science and Technology (DCRUST), Murthal and approved by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), New Delhi, India. We offer a five-year degree in B. Arch. The college was conceived to an amalgamation of heritage values and the call of tomorrow. The mixture was developed by generating a concept of a ‘technical gurukul’. The gurukul component was envisioned by creating a platform where the guru and the shishya could be together all the time. Thus came the novel outcome of placing the academic and the residential spaces together. Our girl students could thus safely work around the clock. This college thus offers a holistic architectural education and its alumni have shown that the systems adopted here have yielded positive results.
