Architecture

Hi Nidhi,
No, you cannot do architecture with a Bachelor's degree in Information technology. Architecture and that too for a master's degree require a lot many basics and if you have done bachelor's in civil you can still do it but not with other field. How much exposure can one have in architecture with bachelors in Information technology? Do you know any basics of Architecture? If you think that by googling everything you know architecture then you are thinking wrong, architecture is a very artistic field and there are many skills require for it, you need to develop them and the only way you can do is Bachelor in Architecture or B.Arch.

Hi Reshu,
If you are planing to go on core stream, campus placements for naval architectures might seem poor compared to other branches in Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). Do consider the following options.The list is not exhaustive.
Go for apping. This might seem audacious.Consider this option if you have high CG / good projects / recommendations and budget for higher studies.
Doing a PhD is also a choice although very few prefer it.
Join in some shipyard,almost all shipyards take in naval architectures but don't expect white collar jobs and high pays.Shipyards generally buy designs from other companies and they employ freshers from naval architect to work in ship building or repair sites,not in their design offices.You can get transferred to design offices in less than one year but the work you do there is modelling not designing.Cochin Shipyard and L&T shipyard to my knowledge have been taking naval architects from IITM and Cochin University Of Science and Technology.
There are lot of design companies situated at various locations.If you prefer India,don't expect huge payment but you will learn lot of stuff compared to what you learn't in your classrooms.
Working as a project associate in IIT's is a good option if you don't have any idea of what to do or If you are planning to try one more year for higher studies.
Then there are few ship maintenance companies who recruit naval architectures full time.You might not have any co-naval architect workers along with you and might not learn much unless you are a one-man army type learning and doing everything on your own.
If you have very sound knowledge and have a few friends with same mentality,a startup is a good option.You can start a design consultancy. Friends with an year or more of experience in design field will be good for roping in to start the company.
MBA can shift your career path. In my opinion, choose MBA if you are really not interested in continuing what you are studying now.I heard from various sources that people from Shipyard and other big industries in this field prefer people HR expertise.Managing people to make this meet the deadline need specific requirements and skills.
There are lot of other non-core options ahead of you if you are not interested in naval architecture. Consider them if your real passion is to do something else.

Hi Reshu,
You can do B.Arch with any stream provided you have Mathematics as a subject at XII level. You will have to pass a test called NATA and then join B.Arch course. you can visit www.coa.gov.in
There is a problem created by AICTE & MHRD, govt of India. As per AICTE you must pass Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics at XII in order to join B.Arch. However, Council of Architecture is the apex body to regulate the Architecture education in the country.
Students with excellent drawing abilities, clarity of thought, creativity, strong aesthetic sense and social awareness are likely to get through. The duration of the undergraduate architecture courses or B.Arch is 5 years. This course provides both theoretical and practical training and helps a candidate develop and sharpen his creative skills. Higher degrees like M.Arch and Ph.d can also be acquired thereafter.

Hi Reshu,
Yes you can if u want to make career in same, AMET is one such college. Frankly speaking, Such a programme is useful only if you want to join Naval Forces as Private Shipping Industry in India is still not very big and it has long way to go. However, you may find jobs in government sector like Ministry of transport and shipping & research Institutes. For more information please go through the link below:
