Hello!
Look, it all depends on you and your future goals. But my suggestion is to go for job after B.Tech Planning and then apply for higher studies. The reasons are following:
(#) At the job, you will get the platform to showcase your talent and knowledge that you have acquired during classroom sessions.
(#) This job will give you the more confidence to face the real-time industrial projects and contracts.
(#) You can make your M.Tech or MBA application more appealing.
(#) You can make yourself a 'financially independent' guy which is very necessary in today's era.
(#) You can save a lot of money (at least some minor saving) for the expense of your higher education.I think these reasons are all enough to make you feel that how doing the job right after your B.Tech is necessary. But after all, its depend upon your futuristic goals. If you think that you can get admission in top-notch college (of M.Tech or MBA) just after your B.Tech planning degree, then you may opt for. But my advise would be to go for a job. Hope this helps. Upvote the answer if you feel satisfied. Good luck.

Hello,
The scope is only formed by the candidate. Out of the given two fields, wherever your interest lies scope is there. To have more insights, you need to first understand about both of these streams:
(#) Commercial Architecture: It involves planning, design and construction management of commercial and retail facilities which require attention of functionality, flexibility and costs. These days, it becomes slightly difficult to expand the horizons of commercial architecture. Local authorities commonly maintain strict regulations on commercial zoning and have the authority to designate any zoned area as such. A business must be located in a commercial area, or area zoned at least partially for commerce.
(#) Urban Planning: This leads you to more sophisticated path. Jobs where your degree would be useful include: civil service administrator, community development worker, environmental manager, landscape architecture, planning and development surveys, and (or) sustainability consultant.
