RIT M.Arch Landscape Architecture Course Structure

Should you pick M.Arch Landscape Architecture at Ramaiah Institute of Technology?

This course suits B.Arch graduates who want to plan and design parks, campuses and public open spaces.

Pick it if:
You want to design parks and public open spaces: the course moves from landscape planning to landscape construction, and Bengaluru has many public parks to study.
You hold a GATE score in Architecture: the AICTE stipend pays you INR 12,400 a month, more than the full fee over two years.
You want to pay less: a PGCET seat costs INR 1.95 Lakhs for the full course, much less than a management seat at INR 2.56 Lakhs.
You want a school with a record: RIT has taught this M.Arch since 2011, and it stands #31 in NIRF Architecture 2025.
Skip it if:
You want placement figures before you join: RIT publishes no pay or placement rate for this course, so ask where past students work.
You missed PGCET registration: KEA seats go only to PGCET applicants, so only a management seat at INR 2.56 Lakhs is left.
You have less than 50% in B.Arch: KEA gives you no rank for this course, unless you are SC, ST or Category-1 with 45%.
You want to design buildings, not landscapes: this course trains you for landscape planning and site design, so building design jobs gain little from it.
Counsellor's advice
If you hold a GATE score, take the PGCET seat and apply for the AICTE stipend at once. If you have no GATE score, ask the department where past students work before you pay.

FAQs on Ramaiah Institute of Technology M.Arch Landscape Architecture

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is M.Arch Landscape Architecture at RIT worth the fee?▾
Yes, if you want to plan and design parks, campuses and public spaces. The full fee for a PGCET seat is INR 1.95 Lakhs for two years, much less than the INR 2.56 Lakhs of a management seat. RIT has not published placement figures for this course, so ask the department where past students work before you pay.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most graduates of this course work as landscape architects, site planners or landscape designers. RIT has not published the average pay or the share of the batch placed. Before you join, ask the Department of Architecture for the names of firms where the last two batches work.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you want to design buildings, or if you need placement figures before you join. The course trains you for landscape planning and site design. RIT does not publish pay or placement data for it, so a student who needs those numbers should ask the department first.
Should I take a PGCET seat or a management seat here?▾
Take the PGCET seat if you can get one. It costs INR 1.95 Lakhs for the full course against INR 2.56 Lakhs for a management seat. The AICTE PG scholarship and the state fee concessions also do not cover a management seat, so a PGCET seat saves you more money.
Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾
Yes, if you want a teaching or research path in landscape architecture. An M.Arch is the usual degree before a Ph.D in this field. RIT stands #31 in NIRF Architecture 2025. Talk to the department in your first semester about a thesis topic that can grow into research.
Should I wait a year to write GATE first?▾
Only if you will not get a PGCET seat this year. A valid GATE score gets you the AICTE stipend of INR 12,400 a month for up to 24 months, which adds up to more than the full fee. If you already have a PGCET seat, take it and write GATE later for a Ph.D.
Is landscape a better choice than a general M.Arch for me?▾
Pick landscape if you like working with land, plants, water and open public spaces. Pick a general or urban design M.Arch if you want to keep designing buildings. The course here covers landscape planning, landscape construction and sustainable landscape design, so it suits the first kind of student.
Is the hostel worth taking for this course?▾
Take it if you do not live in Bengaluru. The hostel room costs INR 80,000 a year, which adds INR 1.60 Lakhs over two years. If you live in the city, skip it and keep the full fee at INR 1.95 Lakhs.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Register for Karnataka PGCET on the KEA portal before the April deadline. Go for the document check, since KEA ranks M.Arch students on their B.Arch marks. Then fill RIT in your options, pay the fee after allotment and report with your original documents, or you lose the seat.
What marks do I need in B.Arch?▾
You need at least 50% in a five-year B.Arch for a General rank. SC, ST and Category-1 students of Karnataka need 45%. Higher marks give you a better rank, so use the marks checker above to see where you stand.
Can a scholarship pay the whole fee?▾
Yes, for some students. The state fee concession can pay the full INR 1.95 Lakhs for SC, ST and Category-1 students with family income up to INR 2.5 Lakhs, and for 2A, 3A and 3B students up to INR 1 Lakh. Apply on the State Scholarship Portal every year you study.
