I think opting for a B.Arch at LPU will be a better option. LPU ranks high at the 16th position among Architecture institutes in India as per the 2023 NIRF Rankings. Here are some of the best features of the B.Arch program at LPU-
Based on my experience, I would recommend you to join LPU for a B.Arch degree.
Many people go for a certain branch with much surety bog branch change but don’t consider the consequences. It’s highly possible that you may not be able to change your branch and end up with a branch that you did not want to pursue in the first place. These people choose EE at IIT Bombay or Kharagpur when they could have easily taken IIT Hyderabad CSE.
One should not solely rely on branch change and think of the consequences of not being able to change the branch. Will you be able to survive in the branch you chose initially?
I don’t have much idea about IIT KGP’s branch change but I feel it is somewhat similar to IIT Roorkee which I do have an idea about. A Bachelor of Architecture course cannot change their branch to BTech if that’s what you are asking since both are extremely different streams. This concept of branch change misguides many so should be opted for when necessary. I have even heard of changes from BS to BTech.
Giani Zail Singh College is one of the oldest and reputed colleges when it comes to B.Arch. It is ranked at the 2nd position in Punjab.
The professors of the B.Arch department are well-learned and great at teaching. The alumni network of the college is good and some of them are placed in reputed companies and organizations. The college will engage you more in extracurricular activities to help you learn the management of events.
There is only one disadvantage at Giani Zail Singh College is the lack of placements. There are no good opportunities available especially for B.Arch. Many of my friends have opened their own consultancy firms.
If you have other options available, then go for them first because Giani Zail Singh College will disappoint you in terms of exposure.
All three colleges fall on the list of top Architecture institutes in India. NIT Calicut and NIT Trichy are known for Architecture as their best programs. Having to know some people studying in these institutes, I can say that though NITs are the best for architecture, Jamia is also at par with them.
| Categories | Architecture at NIT Trichy | Architecture at NIT Calicut | Architecture at Jamia Millia Islamia |
| Course Fee | 7.00 lakh | 6.78 lakh | 55,750 |
| Highest CTC | 20 LPA | 16 LPA | 12-13 LPA |
| Average CTC | 10 LPA | 8 LPA | 6-7 LPA |
Therefore, it is suggested that you opt for NIT Trichy or Calicut for pursuing architecture. If not then you can go for Jamia instead, as it is also a good college.
For a B.Arch degree, there is not much difference between Aayojan School of Architecture and Amity University, Noida. The latter is slightly better bu the course fee is comparably high. B.Arch fees in Amity University Noida are INR 13.30 Lakhs. Around 25-40% of the students from this course get job offers through campus placement. The average CTC offered is around INR 5 LPA.
One of my friends pursued his B.Arch from NIT Raipur. According to his experience, a Bachelor of Architecture from NIT Raipur is not a good option. The faculty quality is average. There is too much workload on students.

Key Highlights:
NIT Raipur is not a decent place for a Bachelor of Architecture, considering all the above factors. If you have any other options, it will be wise to go for them.
IIEST Shibpur is better than BITS Sindri. Academics, placements, exposure, in terms of, all these factors it is well ahead. But you should give more priority to your choice of course while choosing one of these institutes.
Architecture and Metallurgy are two entirely separate branches. According to the recent highlights, BIT Sindri placements for Metallurgy are better. The highest and average CTC for the branch is INR 10.11 LPA and INR 4.76 LPA, respectively.
You are asking this question because you consider it as an option. This might sound a little impolite but is true.
It would be good if you look for some other options because you would definitely regret it later on. Moreover, you get this opportunity only once so choose wisely as there will be no room for rectification.
Talking about architecture in ITM Gwalior, there are more cons than pros.
It is advisable not to fall for the advertisements and pamphlets and brochures that the University provides because they are designed in a way to attract students.
It is you who has to make the final call. Hope that you opt for a better college.
NIT Calicut is among the country’s best NITs. It is an institute of national importance. The placements are definitely good at NIT Calicut.
Placement highlights of the year 2020 for NIT Calicut.
NIT Calicut is among the very few NITs that offer programs in Architecture and will not disappoint you.
In my opinion, LPU is a better choice for pursuing a B.Arch. First of all, LPU is ranked #16 among top Architecture institutes in India by NIRF Ranking 2023.
The top advantages of pursuing a B.Arch at LPU are-
Thus, based on these advantages, I would highly recommend LPU for your B.Arch degree.
