Architecture is area of study which deals with the designing and planning of buildings and structures and the spaces between them.
A bachelor's degree in architecture or Diploma is needed to become a qualified architect.
The basic eligibility criteria is 10+2 with a minimum of 50% marks in Science subjects.
Besides this, the candidate must qualify an entrance exam.
- All India Engineering Entrance Examination
-National Aptitude test in Architecture(NATA), the online test with drawing measuring aesthetic sensitivity, critical thinking, perception, observation and architectural awareness.

A successful architect requires special qualifications like designing talent, business aptitude, social awareness and legal knowledge, excellent communication and drawing skills, keen observation, creativity, ability to visualize, etc.
The earnings can rise upon the experience and the work involved. Individuals practicing through their own firm could earn a lot, and this could be from thousands to lakhs.
Hope it helps. Feel free to raise queries or close by liking or marking as the best answer.

It definitely is Masters in Planning and architeture, Interior design is ubiquitous these days, every second person is pursuing this course and there are many small institutes and colleges that has opened up and hence less demands as more and more interior designers are coming up opportunities are getting less, while Maters in town planning or Urban Designing is a fresh field, hence the no. of job opportunities are more and hence wider career growth. So, i would definitely suggest you to go for Masters in town planning than interior designing. In order to purtsue this course there are very few good colleges like NID,sushant school of architecture Gurgaon, UPES school of Design and Studies, CCA that offers these kind of courses. Placement wise UPES and CCA is one of the best so all the best for your future.

Hello Gopal,
Since your current profile is of architecture field so we would like to recommend you to pursue PG program which suits your current field and helps you to enhance your knowledge and hold on the field. Below are a few PG programs that you should go for:
M.Plan Urban Design
M.Plan Environmental Planning
M.Plan Transportation Planning
M.Tech Building Engineering and Management
Planners help decide the design and appearance of cities and towns as well as their services, facilities and communities and they also get handsome salaries. With the rapid increase in infrastructure and development of smart cities, residential projects there are great opportunities in these field. You can chose for any of the above program as per your area of interest. Good luck :)

Kanchi, let me tell you about the field of design. Design is a field that is age old and has been evolving every year like science. Sometimes student Artists are too much enamoured by Fine Arts preventing them to look objectively at Design. They must read this http://bit.ly/SXc9GD. Again like science it pays to be at the cutting edge. For e.g. science students do better if they go for CS or IT since that are areas where development is taking place rapidly. Similarly in Design the cutting edge areas are UID/ UXD, 3D Printing, Immersive Technology, Augmented Reality, 3D Projection etc, besides of course Game Design & Animation. Of course at the top of the pile lies Concept Designing (usually reserved for writers and visionaries) - these people are required by Event Companies, Animation Studios, VFX Studios, & of course Game Studios. At this stage, you may want to understand the creative world and the careers it offers. There are many careers for the creative/ artistic people. Interiors, textile as well as Web Design rely on the same skills - your layout skills and color sense. Journalism also is at this level and relies on your language skills & knowledge of history and current affairs. A little higher perches Graphic Design, Fashion Design, jewellery design, Acting, & Fine Arts which rely on one of your artistic skills - sketching & imagination. At a similar level perches VFX as well as Motion Graphics which rely on one of your artistic skills - Cinematographic skills & imagination. Then come careers like Animation, Film Making, Game Design which rely on multiple talents like your authority over sketching, acting, direction, voice, sound, writing, storytelling and problem solving skills etc. Any extra skill can be used in this. So it turns out to be one of the most challenging as well as satisfying careers. Do remember that digital design careers (e.g. web design, graphics, UI design, animation, vfx, multimedia) give better profits since they can be delivered anywhere in the world & hence may earn in dollars - resulting in better rewards for designers. Wish you the best for your career. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like.

Utkarshi, Take any creative subjects or arts or languages. I would recommend that as you study for your 10+2, you start practicing sketching to begin with. Try to observe things closely and sketch them. You can also buy good sketch books from the market for sketching including shading, shadows, and human figures. However, soon you may have to upgrade to more serious books like "The Animator's Survival Kit" by Richards William. Psychology and Literature are two useful subjects. Try to participate in Writing, Drawing/ Painting, Sports, Dramatics, Music, Singing etc. whatever is possible for you. You may also like to read this about the kind of preparation the best students put into this http://bit.ly/1ddUSi8. Also, do read suggestions on the path to be followed in this http://bit.ly/1hVBJHm. If any good Life Art or Method Art Classes are available in your neighborhood then take those classes (if you are near chandigarh then i can recommend some). Later on you may take up a course in Multimedia and animation or in design and graphics. Arena also offers such a Program Just for your knowledge. Animation draws the best out of a Creative Person. It offers a person to indulge in music, design, acting, direction, camera, voice design, character design etc. Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your Career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion and expression ability. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like.
