<br/><br/> Standards without standardization is the hall mark of<br/>architectural education. It is holistic in nature, focuses on<br/>originality and creativity, believes in an evolutionary process,<br/>expects alternative answers, is people-centric and region-<br/>specific, revolves around socio- cultural resource factors,<br/>absorbs science and technology and ultimately prepares one<br/>for self-learning and self-evaluation.<br/>The world, including India, has architectural practice<br/>as a regulated profession and its education is rated as one<br/>of the most interactive education system of teaching and<br/>learning. While NEP 2020, chose to leave out medical and<br/>legal education out of its bounds, architectural education<br/>has found itself brought into it. Perhaps there was no one to<br/>highlight the beauty, peculiarity, uniqueness and lessons it<br/>can offer to other educational systems.
