in your 8th semester, you've to apply for a 5 month internship. you get to decide where you want to go for internship and then give interviews at firms. these are usually paid internships with 3-5k monthly stipend. I had great experience with my internship. got to learn a lot of field work.
Placements are very less. As we have to apply for internship, as colleges will suggests names of companies & personal offices to do internship. If any want to settle in any of the city they should prefer to do internship in that city,because if any does internship in other city & wants to settle down in another city it get very hectic because it will be new place.
Our College personally doesn't involve itself in internship programme but help us only guiding about it. I currently am doing internship at Mumbai, and getting 250 as stipend. But there is no placement process in our College.
Technically placement rarely happens in this field. One has to be on their own. After 5 years of education, once you get the degree and license to do practice, issued by COA (Council of Architecture), one can set up his/her own firm and work privately. Opportunities are immense. One can apply for the job in other firms, set up their own or freelance.
