What rank is required in the JEE B.Arch exam to get admission into SPA (School of Planning and Architecture) Delhi (general category)?

By Yashmeet Groveron 03 Feb 22
SD

Souman Dasgupta

03 Feb 22Architecture student at NIT Hamirpur

School of Planning and Architecture Delhi is the best architecture school in the country. To get selected for admission you will need to have a good rank. Securing a rank of around 400-500 should fetch you a seat at SPA Delhi. But you should keep in mind that the cutoff varies each year. In 2021, the opening cutoff for B.Arch was 212 (General).

Is it good to pursue Bachelor of Architecture from NIT Raipur?

By Komal Chawlaon 19 Mar 21
BR

Bhavna Roy

19 Mar 21Electrical engineering from National Institute of Technology, Raipur (2020)

One of my friends pursued his B.Arch from NIT Raipur. According to his experience, a Bachelor of Architecture from NIT Raipur is not a good option. The faculty quality is average. There is too much workload on students. 

The table below gives a brief overview of the Department of Architecture of NIT Raipur.

Total Fees (B.Arch)

Rs. 6.74 Lakhs

Median Salary Offered

Rs. 3 LPA

Total Number of seats (B.Arch)

79

JEE Main cut-off

1580

Key Highlights:

  • There are several good colleges in Maharashtra and Gujarat for Architecture. But NIT Raipur has a lot of bad reviews from students who have studied B.Arch in the institute.
  • Most teachers in Architecture at NIT Raipur are not good in their teaching habits and capabilities. Teachers make students mindless about their actions, even some hard working ones.
  • It is obvious that Architecture studies involve a lot of hard-work in assignments, but teachers are not even sensible about the fact.
  •  The curriculum at NIT Raipur is such that it can frustrate a student who has good concepts to the core.
  • People may tell you a college does not matter in the overall development of students. But, it is true that in fields like architecture and management, you need to be smart enough to deal with a lot of people in your career. So, the institute's atmosphere, and the people surrounding a student, do matter.

NIT Raipur is not a decent place for a Bachelor of Architecture, considering all the above factors. If you have any other options, it will be wise to go for them.

Akshara Gupta

B.Arch at Poornima University is a better option to pursue because it is approved by the Council of Architecture and they have a Globally Accepted Credit and Grading system. It is also one of the largest groups of professional education in Rajasthan.

By Yashveer Singhon 03 Feb 22
SD

Sourav Das

03 Feb 22B.Arch Architecture, University of Pune, India (2018)

For a B.Arch program, the Vastu Kala will be a better choice compared to the MBS School of Planning and Architecture. It is a well-reputed and old institute. Whereas, MBS was established only a few years back. VKA is considered to be among the best Architectural institutes in India. It also offers good academics and infrastructural facilities. Consider these factors while choosing one of these two.

By Mukul Parasharon 03 Feb 22

Archita Sinha

03 Feb 22B.Arch from MBS School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi

The best college for pursuing a B.Arch degree is SPA Delhi. But if you aren’t selected in SPA Delhi, you should go for private universities. There are also three private colleges affiliated with IP University Delhi. Among these, the best option is the University School of Architecture and Planning. MBS and Gateway College rank lower.

How is Giani Zail Singh College PTU Campus Bathinda for a B.Arch?

By Aaditya Hari Nairon 07 Sept 21
JK

Janki Khanna

07 Sept 21B.Tech Electrical Engineering, Giani Zail Singh, Punjab Technical University

Giani Zail Singh College is one of the oldest and reputed colleges when it comes to B.Arch. It is ranked at the 2nd position in Punjab.

The professors of the B.Arch department are well-learned and great at teaching. The alumni network of the college is good and some of them are placed in reputed companies and organizations. The college will engage you more in extracurricular activities to help you learn the management of events. 

There is only one disadvantage at Giani Zail Singh College is the lack of placements. There are no good opportunities available especially for B.Arch. Many of my friends have opened their own consultancy firms. 

If you have other options available, then go for them first because Giani Zail Singh College will disappoint you in terms of exposure.

Arunava Mukherjee

20 Sept 22B.Arch from Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (IIEST)

IIEST Shibpur is better than BITS Sindri. Academics, placements, exposure, in terms of, all these factors it is well ahead. But you should give more priority to your choice of course while choosing one of these institutes. 

Architecture and Metallurgy are two entirely separate branches. According to the recent highlights, BIT Sindri placements for Metallurgy are better. The highest and average CTC for the branch is INR 10.11 LPA and INR 4.76 LPA, respectively.
