CEPT University Ahmedabad marked the beginning of the Monsoon Semester 2025 with the arrival of 427 new postgraduate students across its five faculties — Architecture, Planning, Design, Management, and Technology, on Monday.
With women comprising 56% of the batch, the cohort brings together students from 25 states and Union Territories, according to a statement by the university.
Welcoming the batch, Prof Barjor Mehta, President, CEPT, reminded them of the University’s foundational values — merit, self-respect, and mutual regard. He emphasised the importance of fairness, self-agency, and academic ownership, urging students to take full responsibility for their growth and conduct during their time at CEPT, according to the statement.
In his address, Prof Tridip Suhrud, Provost, CEPT, spoke about the idea of the university as a self-governing space where critical thinking, diversity of thought, and dialogue are vital. He spoke of CEPT’s distinctive studio-based model of professional education. He left students with a message on friendship, vulnerability, and kindness, urging them to create a campus environment where respect, empathy, and meaningful collaboration thrive.
Before the semester began, the new cohort participated in a week-long orientation programme, familiarising themselves with CEPT’s campus life, student services, and academic systems.
