Hi Reshu,
It is advisable that you gain atleast one year work experience in India and then look for a job in USA. This will give you an edge over others and you can establish a good network within the period. You can learn more about latest trends and in demand things and accordingly you can develop your profile. Creativity and an unique portfolio is required for good jobs in USA.
Alternatively you can opt to study a short term course and then apply for a job. The first option is however feasible.
Hope this helps.

Hi Divya,
Only the Bachelor's degree holders in architecture (B.Arch.) are eligible for admission to the Master's program in the discipline. However, the School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi-110002, provides specialization options for meritorious civil engineering graduates in its M.Arch. program and related fields.
Mechanical and Architecture are two completely different streams. Some universities may allow you to do it. But it seems to be an odd choice.

Hi Reshu,
It is definitely possible. But it will be hard as entry level landscape architects do not get paid very well. You might ease into the transition by taking an IT related job at a landscape architecture firm or developer and build a network (human) which you can leverage to make the transition.

Hi Reshu,
Why not town planning, CEPT, and other related things?
MBA is open for all, but in India, recruiters don't value the professional undergraduate degree for their worth.
