Interested to do a B.Arch degree in Educational Institutions in India with a national standard? Learn through this article the details of those institutions including their courses, number of seats, selection process, and contact information.
Earning a bachelor's degree in Architecture, also known as a B.Arch degree, is perhaps a dream career for some of you. After earning this degree, there are many job opportunities, but some of you might be in doubt whether B.Arch is a good course to select? B.Arch is a professional degree course, and you can even do higher studies in design programs. You can set up your architecture firm or even you can work in partnerships. Central government/state government/private firms also provide job opportunities for those with an Architecture degree. If you are more interested in the teaching profession than taking up a private job, that is also available now, but you might need a master's degree/Ph.D in Architecture if you wish to take the teaching profession. Anyway, this is an exciting career for aspiring candidates. Here the main point is to earn a B.Arch degree from educational institutions having national standards so that your placement will be so easy. So here I am listing some of the popular educational intuitions of India with national standards so that you will get an idea about the institutions and where to study. Before going into the details, I just need to mention something about the selection process and seats allotted for each of the intuitions.
