Which college should I choose for a B.Arch. under the NIT/SPA?

SB

Shivani Behera

31 Aug 21

Firstly a hearty congratulations to you for scoring a good rank in JEE Main. However, it is quite difficult to get a seat at SPA Delhi in this rank. The 2nd best option can be SPA Bhopal. Moreover, SPA Vijayawada is relatively newer and cannot be trusted.

I have friends studying at both Bhopal and Vijayawada, from what I've heard, Bhopal is a better option. SPAs are purely design institutes and thus the exposure would be greater. 

Since your chances at SPA D are quite on edge, you can instead look for the following colleges in order of preference: 

NIT Nagpur> NIT Bhopal> SPA Bhopal> NIT Jaipur> SPA Vijayawada and so on.

If you want to go for NITs, choose the one with better infrastructure, weather, and a diverse crowd. There are many other good institutes as well but do your proper research and take the right decision for yourself.

Should I join IIT Kharagpur for B.arch?

SG

Senjuti Gupta

23 Mar 23

There are two aspects to the question. You asked.

  • Is the bachelor of architecture course at IIT Kharagpur good?

To answer this part, I will say with certainty that IIT Kharagpur is an excellent institute. However, as far as architecture is concerned, your first choice should always be the elite schools of architecture like SPA or CEPT. This is mainly because IITs are known for their technology and not architecture.

  • Should a person who's only interested in physics and math, go for architecture or not?

If you are genuinely interested in physics and math, then this will be one of your strengths and will prove to be useful in the journey of architecture.

Architecture requires problem-solving skills apart from artistic skills. There are many students who are average in drawing but have excellent ideas and designs. To broaden your knowledge about art and architecture you can read books.

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.

i have completed civil engineering diploma.. how i join b. arch in sir jj college of architecture

RJ

Riyansh Jha

22 Mar 23

 you can pursue Bachelor in Architecture even after completing a diploma in Civil Engineering. The scope for Architecture is increasing day by day in India. The Bachelor in Architecture course is related to the design of bridges, multipurpose buildings, industrial areas, residential area etc. Owing to many ongoing dam and bridge projects in India, there is a huge demand for Architecture students.

Since you have completed a Diploma in Civil Engineering, B.Tech in Architecture is the most logical option for you.

The candidate who has completed a diploma in civil engineering is eligible for the architecture engineering course through the lateral entry scheme offered by the Engineering colleges in India.

Under this scheme, you are eligible for admission for the second year in the Engineering course provided that you have either completed 

  • Diploma In Engineering 
  • B.Sc course

For you it’s the former case, and thus you can avail the lateral entry scheme and get admission in Architecture.

Now specifically talking about Sir JJ College of Architecture, some key points regarding the eligibility criteria are

  • For B.Arch, you should have passed (10+3) Diploma in Engineering/ Technology with Mathematics as a compulsory subject Candidates should have scored a minimum of 50% in NATA (i.e. 80/200)
  • If you belong =to SC/ST category, 5% relaxation is offered

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

BR

Bhavna Roy

19 Mar 21

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.

How is Poornima University for a B.Arch?

AG

Akshara Gupta

12 Jan 22

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.

They are very much sufficient when it comes to the Architectural course. They have well equipped design labs for each year with proper work benches to cater to the needs of the students in all possible manners. 

The college has also received a rank 14 for its architecture course by Outlook Magazine.

Where should I take admission for a B.Arch programme, Vastu Kala or MBS School of Planning and Architecture?

SD

Sourav Das

03 Feb 22

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.
