Civil Engineering

You can not directly apply for the Bachelor of architecture course after the Diploma course in civil engineering. You have one chance to get admission in B.Arch offering colleges. That is, you can apply for the entrance exams like JEE after completion of your Diploma. After securing a decent rank in the same, you will get admission for the B.Arch course in the NIT's or in the private universities. Also, if you score a decent total in the JEE exam, you will get admission in the IITs for a Bachelor course in architecture.

There are many colleges and universities which offer dual degree courses. Some such institutions are:
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)
BITS Pilani
Amity University, Noida
University of Rajasthan
Punjabi University
Delhi Technological University
Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University
Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad.

Eligibility Candidates applying for this course are required to have acquired 10+2/equivalent qualification with a minimum aggregate score of 45%. Candidates who have completed a Diploma in civil engineering are also eligible to apply for this course through lateral entry. Along with these requirements, candidates are also needed to appear for entrance examinations to get admitted into this course. These examinations are generally conducted at the level of the institute.

Why not try AMIE which is the best suited to working aspirants. Try it out. To know more, click on:

It would be more appropriate if you go for Chinese universities as they offer quality degree with low sum of fees.

Hi Parth, are you planning for Masters or Bachelors?
Requirements will vary accordingly.

Hi mate,
Yes, you are eligible for B.Tech. You can take admission in any of the college which provide lateral entry in civil engineering which will be of 3 years. In a private university, you may get direct admission on the basis of your Diploma score but you need to appear for test if you're applying in government university. I hope I've made myself clear.

Hello Amit,
Eligibility for NATA is 10+2. As you have gone for Diploma after 10th itself, I am afraid you are not eligible. But I am attaching a link that will give you all the required information about this. Https://http://shiksha.com/architecture-planning/exams/nata.

Instead of country, look for the institution. Generally, US have better institutions for this branch.

Hello Bounty,
Yes, even civil engineers get placed during the placement season in engineering colleges.
