Civil Engineering

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 Reshu,
The minimum qualification that one requires to join the graduate level course is a pass in class 12 ( or equivalent exam) and a min 55% in mathematics with a background in the science/ commerce discipline. Since you have a degree in Civil Engineering, I guess you're covered there. :)
You will be required to appear for entrance exams, just like you did for Engineering. These exams test your aptitude and drawing skills
There are a lot of exams that are conducted in India For entrance in architecture but i think these are the most important:
All India Architecture Entrance Examination (happens along with AIEEE): Most colleges like NITs(duh!) and SPA accept admission through this Exam.
NATA (National Aptitude Test In Architecture): Some colleges like CEPT accept admissions through this.
(colleges that take admissions through NATA usually have a some % of weight-age for 12th std. mks.)
(I'm not sure if you're eligible for IIT Roorkee/Kharagpur Since you need to clear JEE mains to appear for their JEE advanced for B.Arch entrance and you have only 3 attempts to do so.)
Apart from these, i suggest you give your State Entrance Exams for Architecture.

Hi Anchal,
When it is a matter of choosing a career in the field of civil engineering or architecture, one has to know the basic differences between the two which includes the difference of working environments, career scope, core subjects and future prospects in these two fields. Though these fields are similar in many aspects but there are differences which makes them unique and individual fields.
The nature of civil engineering is more mathematical and thus detailed structural designs, structural analysis, construction and maintenance is the responsibility of a civil engineer.
On the other hand, the nature of architecture is more artistic and towards the utilization of space to produce a good architectural design (A Plan or A Map or A Drawing) simultaneously keeping high aesthetic value, compatibility with building bye-laws and ekistics' principles. There are scientific principles involved but not as much as those are involved in civil engineering.
