Sushant School is also an affiliate member of the Association of the Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA), U.S.A.

Chiranjiv Charitable Trust understands the rapidly evolving design environment within India and a change within global dynamics set the backdrop for inventive thinking and considered approaches to design. The trust to fill the emerging gap has started the Sushant School of Design.

The School responds to the need to develop India’s professional design community, from specialists to design managers. At the School students are exposed to a process that travels between concept and enterprise.

The trust finds its faith in the agenda of change, and through education it inspires students to experiment, create, and refine their ideas.

The school has recorded success with graduate admissions in top grade institutions outside India such as Harvard Graduate School of Design, MIT, Yale, Cornell and the AA in London; the number of admissions perhaps exceeding those of any other school in India.

The school organizes Quality Improvement Programs, Workshops and Lectures by visiting professionals from India and abroad.

Faculty

The faculty is drawn from diverse academic and professional backgrounds, with academic thrusts as diverse as Fine Arts, Digital Architecture, Urbanism and Architecture of the City and Habitat and Human Settlements.

The Dean emeritus and ex-Director of the school is Prof Mansinh M. Rana, prominent Indian architect.
