B.Arch involves the basic to the most advanced things of architecture. An architect is basically a professional who deals with the design and construction of buildings. His job requires a great accuracy as even a small variation in his design can lead to complex situations. As the situations are becoming worse with the limited spaces for construction, the architects are expected to possess good technical skills to overcome such problems. B.Planning deals with ultimate planning techniques. A planner deals with the planning that is a must for certain human settlements. Planning is an ultimate thing for the success of any event and that shows the significance of a planner. The working areas include metropolitan cities as well as small congested towns, cities & also villages.
The duration of course is different for B.Arch and B.Planning. B.Arch is of 5-year duration, whereas B.Planning is a 4-year programme. The work nature is different for both B.Arch graduate and B.Planning graduates. The salary packages will be different for a B.Arch graduate and B.Planning graduate. The work pressure also varies for both professions.
For architect, here are equal opportunities in the government sector as well as private sector undertakings. Once they complete their course they will be granted a professional license and with that, they can practice independently. They have also an option to go for higher studies like PG course in design, which will enhance their qualification. Many national, as well as multinational firms, are emerging, which will need the service of an eligible architect. There are also a lot of job opportunities awaiting them abroad. They can go for higher studies once they complete this course so as to improve their academic qualification and the scope of job opportunities.

Earlier, people use to think that B.Arch and B.Planning are the same course. But, since the world of architecture is widening and diversifying, the difference between the two came into being. B.Planning is the one, where you get to plan whole city, you can also go for traditional Masters in civil engineering after that it will boost your career immensely. As it's name suggest that your profile will be limited to the Planning. After that comes the role of Architecture. In B.Arch, you will learn the execution of what the plan has been developed by the planner. The job profile is somewhat different nowadays. After doing B. Planning, your role will be to plan to take all the factors into consideration and client's demands. And, after doing B.Arch, you have to organize the plan to make it real. To summarize, B.Planning involves planning while B. Architecture involves implementation.

Hello,
It is a good question from student's point of view.(#) Degree programme: These are much high valued then Diploma. Degree like B.Arch provides profundity about an architect course than Diploma. It has more opportunities as compared to Diploma. Degree is being issued through recognized university or college. The duration of obtaining the degree of architect is greater than the duration of Diploma.
(#) Diploma programme: Like Diploma in Designing, planning, architect etc. are a Diploma course. The admission to Diploma course can be taken after clearing high school examination (class 10th). An institute, a Polytechnic, or even a university can offer a Diploma course. There is no need for the institute or the university to be UGC or AICTE approved. Both programs /courses have their own utility and valuation. But, I would suggest you to degree course, since it is approved and certified by the institution. But, if you want your career to be more accelerated, then along with the degree course, you can pursue Diploma course.

Hello,
The degree of Ph.D in Planning and Architecture will not just open the door of Research field in India, but also in some foreign countries. Completing a degree in architecture at doctorate level can be a long and arduous process, but also wonderfully rewarding. After getting a Ph.D degree in Architecture, you can opt for many profession viz, Research Architect. In this, you will not necessarily focus in designing buildings, but focusing more on how these new tools can enhance our work.
Extreme Architect: Being an architect, who specializes in extreme weather conditions is therefore not only an incredibly fascinating way to tackle the subject, but also a way to earn a big chunk of money.
Industrial Designer: Not just the designing the companies, but also the layout of factories, and warehouse. However, industrial design focuses on smaller scale objects of mass production, as opposed to large-scale buildings designed for a specific context.

Hello,
Coming straight to your query, there are large number of options available to you. You can join any of the institutes from FITJEE, Study Mate, Allen Career, Resonance, Rao IIT Academy and etc. But, let me clarify you on one thing that only good selection of coaching institute will not help you to conquer over the dream. You have to make plan & strategy by yourself.
The best coaching out of these are Resonance & Rao IIT Academy. These both institutes have well past experience for successfully selection of children in various big college for Architecture studies. They are having very good, trained, qualified and experienced faculty for the effective training of children. JEE Mains Paper 2 exam is not an easy exam. You have to do lot more hard work to clear this exam. Hence, my suggestion is that while doing selection of the best coaching institute try to spend some time on doing some research on your own parameters to make the best chosen.

Hello,
As per my suggestion, you don't need any sort of 'coaching' or something to prepare for BVP CET B.Arch examination. Because, the level of this exam is not as hard as you think for JEE Mains Paper 2 or AAT. If you are well prepared with your self-study, then you may score a very good score in this exam. To specific for your query, if you are planning to give the exam for BVP CET along with JEEs, NATA etc., then you might requires coaching institute. So, in this condition, the coaching institute like FIITJEE, Allen Career institute could help you up to some extent. Why I am saying 'some extent' is because the result is based on your preparation. You have to manage your day, your school, your coaching planning as your caliber.
Hence, my suggestion is, if you are going to appear in only BVP CET examination, then you are not required to join any coaching class.
