B.Arch

Hi Divya,
Civil@HBTI and B.Arch@IITR both are a good choice. You cant just put one over another in any aspect. Both are related nearly to same field but the only diff. between them is that Civil being a core branch opens more doors for you after your graduation. It leaves you with more no. of choices as compared to B.Arch . Generally the aspirants are lured to take B.Arch@IITR just because of the IIT tag and end up in a dilemma by the end of their second year.
Although there is no doubt that IITR is far better than HBTI. After all it is an IIT, but that should not affect the branch of your choice. I am not denying that B.Arch is bad but it is good only when you are more interested in drawing and modelling job. Both are good.
I would advice that you must do a bit of research over internet about what B.Arch is all about, what are it's prerequisites and what all options it leaves you with after for years. Then if you feel comfortable then go with B.Arch@IITR. Otherwise Civil at HBTI is also a very good choice.

Hi Tom,
Hi Mudit, As far as I know, to get admission in B. Arch in IIT - Kharagpur you have to clear JEE advanced first and then clear the B. Arch paper conducted after the results are out and not through NATA. IIT Roorkee offers admission on the basis of Architecture Aptitude Test which was conducted on June 21, 2015.
Architecture Aptitude Test (AAT) 2015 is an architecture entrance exam for admission into IITs into the 5 years undergraduate B.Arch Course. Eligibility for Architecture Aptitude Test: Only those candidates who would have given B. Arch program (available at IIT Kharagpur and IIT Roorkee) as one of their choices while filling their choices online will be eligible to write AAT. Moreover you have to clear JEE Advanced also. To Appear in JEE Advanced you should have cleared JEE Main paper 1.

Hi Rupa,
So far as I know, the scenario of architecture engineering (scope wise) is not much better in India now a days.Even if u chose B. Arch in Jadavpur, u may be placed in an IT firm if your non-tech part will be good. BUT will u be satisfied after doing 4 years of B. Arch nd then joining an IT Firm.
In my view it will b better to opt for CSE in UIT, burdwan.because you'll be in college for 4 years only but you have to carry your branch till the last breath.
As you are interested in CSE and UIT burdwan is also a good college (no doubt, jadavpur university is superb), go for it.
Also try for IEM.

Hi Ruby,
MBA or M.Arch can be beneficial because you'll have a better idea what will be required of you in the professional world. An MBA / M.Arch would be very helpful if your goal is to own your own business or to be a principal in an architectural firm.
Also, I must mention that if your bachelors degree in architecture is not a 5 year program, in most cases you will not be allowed to get registered. It makes more sense to get your Masters in Architecture first, then work for a few years, get your licenses, and then purse the MBA. This is a very effective way to keep your career on track while learning the business background on the side. If you live in an area with a good university that offers an MBA to working professionals, this is a great way to get an MBA.

Hi Ruby,
Probably not. The first degree is a basic architectural design degree. You know little that is usable to most architectural practices.
When you are first employed, you will be little more than a draftsman. If you choose not to complete your studies, you will be trained in an office as a technologist.
Depending on how international your degree course is, what you have learned might be applicable elsewhere. However, the things you are learning regarding construction and climatic design may not be applicable everywhere.
If you want to work abroad, I suggest you complete your Masters first. If y have a great portfolio, you have a chance, but only the best (or best connected) students tend to get jobs abroad.
