My friend had joined the Advanced Construction Management (ACM )branch in NICMAR, I'd suggest that you join it as well.
In his ACM class, there were 6 architects and in total there were 60–100 architects in NICMAR. Architects are required in abundance too. They have a good scope in the future and many well-known companies need architects for their multi-role profiles. Many interior design companies require specialized designers for interiors.
Also, there are only a few architects in the college so chances of getting a placement are higher. So definitely go join and fulfill your goals.
If talking about the prospects, then NICMAR is totally worth enrolling at, mostly over many other institutions sharing the same amount of likelihood.
