Gateway College of Architecture and Design has a unique feature of using one afternoon a week for extra mural activities designed for improving communication skills, building qualities of leadership, organizational ability and management skills. This time table activity is compulsory for all and is based on holding inter house competitions in literary art, performing art and fine art activities. These afternoons are organized and managed by the students after structuring an activity calendar for the whole semester in the beginning of the semester.

This college also offers the opportunity of learning by traveling through its regular educational tours which are held once a year.
