One of my friends recently graduated from Chandigarh University. Here are his insides.
CU also has a few shortcomings. The staff at the campus is mediocre at best. The hostel facilities are not that good. There is no feedback system. However, overall, CU can be a good option for pursuing your B.Arch.
Here are some details on the Architecture department of MNIT Jaipur-
The schedule is demanding, and you might doubt your career choices at times. But keep working hard and stay updated on your career options. Overall, MNIT Jaipur is a good place to pursue your Architecture degree.
School of Planning and Architecture, Bhopal is definitely the better option. In Architecture, SPAs are equivalent to IITs. Since SPAs are operated under the Ministry of HRD, they offer better infrastructure, funds, and facilities for students. The placement opportunities offered to the students are quite good too. Students get internships ranging from INR 10,000 to INR 60,000.
CCA is a reputed name in the field of Architecture, but it has limited exposure.
As far as placements for architecture are concerned, MANIT Bhopal is not a good option. The placement scenario is getting worse with time for students of architecture.
But the faculty and facilities are both top notch.
If you aren’t concerned about placements, you can surely opt for MANIT. Otherwise, I would suggest you opt for SPA Delhi. Whichever college you choose, try to research a bit on the pros and cons of joining it.
Poornima University is considered to be among the top universities of India that are well known for Architecture. The faculties for the B.Arch department are well-experienced. The course curriculum is updated according to the recent industry trends. You will get to study many designing tools, which will help you develop required skills. The department also organizes regular workshops, seminars, etc. Considering the quality of education, Poornima University is the best option for pursuing Architecture, in Jaipur.
The reason why Architecture students aren’t placed in non core jobs is because they don’t usually sit for them. Apart from that, no Architecture firms visit the campus for placements. Some Architecture students try for off campus jobs in their domain, while others start their own firm and do business.
Thus, mostly Architecture students either approach companies on their own, or become entrepreneurs.
Here are some points about the Architecture Department of NIT Patna that you should know-
The central library has an even more limited collection of Architecture books.
Basically, the Architecture Department of NIT Patna is not good. You shouldn’t consider this college for your architectural studies.

The education level at Nirma University is average. There are several factors that make you reconsider going there.
The university has several colleges, each having its own principal to direct and administer the rules and regulations properly. She/ he is the supreme head. Because of the insecurity and lack of rights, many good teachers and professors have left the university. There are no student rights or liberties. E.g. Here, a teacher's grudge can fail you, and you can't even fight back because you don't have the right to challenge them, which eventually hinders your career.
There is no student representative. All decisions are made by those leading authoritarian regimes and then imposed on the students. If you can get admission somewhere else, go for it.
