ShikshaTopQuestions-Architecture

Dear aspirant, Glad to meet you. Civil Engineering is much broader than Architecture and deals with the design, planning, and construction of buildings, roads, bridges, dams, tunnels, and other infrastructure projects. Civil engineers are involved in all the construction phases (designing, planning, overseeing the construction process). However Arch is the most preferable programme. The students get a lot of opportunity for getting a job or for pursuing a Masters degree abroad after completing a Bachelors in Architecture. Moreover, in general, civil engineers are equipped with more knowledge than architects in terms of complex mathematics, analysis and structural design and so they are paid more than architects. Hope it helps.

Dear Aspirant, I cannot tell you about the B.Arch programme at DIT University. But being alumni of LPU, I can share the details of this programme at LPU with you. My friend is pursuing the same course. The Eligibility Criteria (Qualifying Exam) for B.Arch is Pass with 60% aggregate marks in 10+2 with English and also 60% marks in Physics Chemistry and Mathematics or Pass with 60% in Diploma (any stream) (3 years) recognised by Central/ State government. (with Mathematics) or equivalent, subject to qualifying marks in NATA 2021 or JEE Main (Paper-II) (90 percentile or above) or qualifying marks in any specially designed aptitude test in Architecture conducted by the competent authority of the Central/ State Governments (as/ if allowed by the statutory body for 2021-22). INNOVATIVE TEACHING

The students who are admitted from DCET are admitted directly to third semester as lateral entry students from third semester on wards their subject syllabus will be same as those regular students who are admitted to first semester from CET examination. The examination norms of university which are applicable to regular students are also applicable to Diploma based lateral entry students. Only additional mathematics subject called dip. Maths should be additionally taken by lateral entry students. In addition two more subjects namely constitutio of India, Environmental engineering has to be taken. But the students should pass these subjects any time before their final semester examination. The eligibility criteria is also same for lateral entry students as applicable to regular students.

B.Arch academic wise, excellently designed course structure is ideal but, I feel there's more of theoretical approach in the preference to full exposure to creativity as compared to any other proper architecture university. Faculty members are good, all are very skilled in their specific subject. Infrastructure is average as compared to other colleges (especially private) offering B.Arch. Placements don't take place for architecture often, 2-3 companies come for the placement. Extracurricular exposure is less in comparison to some other architecture colleges, as I have seen in SPA-Delhi. They opt for innovative and creative activities to develop design thinking.
