Education in the contemporary era has to don the new avatar of holistic preparedness to emerge as profession ready and assimilate multitasking skill quotient to collaborate with varied stakeholders, interest groups and investment houses. Real estate as a domain is a key player and contributor in the economic progression and developmental dynamics of any nation, with the process of imparting expertise outlining upgradation, global standardisation and ethical professional practice. Academic foothold rooted in theory and practice, real time grounded contextualism is the keyword that has to be dealt in its finer details. The influx of digital revolution has opened newer horizons of possibilities, corridors of exchange and realms of creative problem solving that has also engulfed the real estate sector in its advancements. The academic sojourn has to swing between foundational strength, multidisciplinary connect, focussed line of thought and snippets of touch and go phenomenon. The paper highlights the emerging trends, areas and facets of real estate education that has to undergo a revamp in terms of expanding frontiers, adopting change, extending boundaries and breaking barriers of generics. From virtual virtues in digital twin technology to the incorporation of recent advancements in AI, VR, AU and IOT/IOA, the need to integrate software expertise in real estate education becomes crucial. The preliminary pathway through GIS, BIM sensitisation as an entry gateway to the larger spectrum of the virtual realisation of the true ground realities has found its rooting in the studio-based courses in the Indian education in the context of real estate architecture and design. The incorporation of courses on resilience and asset creation, wealth from waste, green to brownfield resource generation has further outlined the need to integrate current scenarios of climate adaptation, SDG’s and energy demands. The classification of city as an enterprise in the real estate domain requires updating and upgrading the knowledge quotient in the learning system as changing scenarios, paradigm shits and perspectives stem from academia addressing the real time context. The trajectory has to strike the equilibrium from change as a constant to change as a system as addressing and adopting has to be the dictum beyond mere adaptation. Academic learning in real estate has to keep abreast of global events, economy crunch and crisis as the world is embarking on multi and inter disciplinary approach integrating multiple skills in the graduate. The new found, emerging combination of architecture and real estate offers immense potential in terms of design, development and financial outlays as a complete big picture in projects across varied asset classes. Incorporation of conservation, heritage and adaptive reuse mechanisms that could offer real estate potential is also making headway in the Indian curriculum in real estate. Real estate from an engineering, management and financial standpoint has now transcended boundaries and barriers to encompass architecture, design and urban development principles and domains. Academia has to integrate industrial mentorship and hone entrepreneurial quotient as teaching and learning is not about producing professionals and consultants but in creating strong individuals who could emerge as leaders leaving a trail of successful start-ups, unicorns and prop-tech entrepreneurs. This paper outlines the current academic emergence as an amalgamation of collaborative learning process in real estate beyond fragments and snippets from various disciplines, but as a structured course towards reals estate domain expertise.
