Hi,
Please specify your country preference as B.Arch has different requirements in every country and is very competitive too. You need a good product design and a portfolio to show your ability in the course.

If you want to join military engineering services (MES), it is advisable to pursue B.Tech or Diploma in engineering. There are ample of vacancies available for technical entrants in the army.

Civil engineering and architecture are different fields which cannot be compared as such.
Architecture is more of creativity and civil is the application part of that creativity, so I think which one is better depends on your interest and caliber and should be chosen accordingly.
I would prefer civil engineering over architecture in the current scenario in terms of scope in government sector.

Yes, it is an excellent university for doing architecture.
