IIT Roorkee Review

IIT Roorkee is the oldest technical college in Asia yes Asia and no-1 for its Architecture program. My interest in designing inspired me to opt for this course and what can it be better by completing B.Arch program from IIT Roorkee. After clearing JEE advance I feel myself fortunate enough to qualify the cutoff criteria of IIT Roorkee for the B.Arch program I immediately registered myself for JOSAA counselling so that I can get a seat. I was allowed the seat in IIT Roorkee by successfully completing all the admission and counselling formalities.
