 REAL ESTATE EDUCATION IN INDIA – JOURNEY SO FAR AND THE ROADMAP AHEADRitika Bhatia AfRES from African Real Estate Society (AfRES) Abstract: There has always been a need of education in the area of Built Environment in India keeping in mind the unorganised manner in which the sector functions. However pioneering efforts have been made this direction with the setting up of the School of Built Environment by RICS in collaboration with Amity University. This school was established keeping in mind the ever-growing demand for professionals in the built environment and the organisation of the sector which was the need of the hour. (Berry, 2007) This paper describes the development of the detailed curriculum (Finch, 2003) in the program structure. (Worzala, 2004 ) At present the workforce is primarily experience-based and not professionally trained for the job. The school makes an attempt to bridge this gap with the help of executive education (Emerging Leaders Program). The paper attempts to bring out the connection between academia and industry. The students passing out of the portals of this institution are not only professionally trained for their respective jobs but are also well versed with the quintessential need of ethics and standards required for this sector. It is at this juncture that our professional graduates become eligible for membership of RICS. (Schulte, 2001).
