    Interactive Studio in their course of study.

    sites of study.
    • Multidisciplinary faculty teams are formed to conduct each of the Studios.
    • While the studios are conducted by CEPT faculty members, invited guest faculty make special contributions.
    • A programme of relevant lectures is evolved.
    • A shared final presentation is arranged at the end
