Studied at Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2019)

IIEST Shibpur has been a top-notch institute for architecture since 1949. The institute offers town & regional planning as a part of the architecture course. It offers both undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Amongst 66 top participating institutes of the country; the institute holds 6th rank.

It has been able to provide knowledge to 1000 graduates and more than 300 postgraduates in the last 50 years. The highlights of the department are as follows:

  • Infrastructure

The classrooms and design places have properly equipped facilities including the CAD LAB. Wi-Fi is also available 24*7. The campus is the best in the entire Eastern India. The premises are filled up with facilities like basketball ground, oval, graveyard.

  • Student & Alumni

The alumni are spread all across as its inception is quite old. There is an established legacy of people who have worked with NASA and ZONASA. The talented students have also been able to bag good positions in different design positions.

  • Faculty

The faculty comprises good assistant and associate professors from across the country. The classes are also held regularly with an updated syllabus. They provide quite conceptual and practical clarity to the students in order to pursue a great career ahead.

  • Placements

The field of architecture offers very few placements pertaining to this very college as most individuals have to find their own internships or jobs. There are no core companies that come to campus for recruitment making it difficult to earn a living.

The architecture domain is quite interest-specific; therefore it should be opted for only when the individual is adamant enough to pursue it for the rest of life. It is a course having hefty fees but good placements. The decision should be taken after keeping this in time.

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.

  1. The fee is way too high. The fee for 1st year is Rs. 1,50,000 for the year 2021-22. 
  2. The facilities are not good.
  3. The projects and internals are below average.
  4. The management is not up to the mark.
  5. The University does not provide any exposure to its students.

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.

Among these two, NIT Raipur will be a better choice. Here is some insight about the institutes.

  • VIT Bhopal: In recent years, admissions in VIT were open for VIT rank > 1 Lakh, and even after that, the seats remained empty. As this is a new institute the infrastructure and faculty base is not that strong. It lacks good infrastructural facilities. There is no alumni network.
  • NIT Raipur: On the other hand, NIT Raipur is one of the most popular colleges in our country and you will have good faculty there. The only concern is your choice of branch. Choose B.Arch only if you are truly interested in Architecture.

Here are the recent placement statistics for the courses mentioned in the question.

Parameters

VIT Bhopal CSE

NIT Raipur B.Arch

Average CTC

How is the BArch at LPU?

A
Admin Posted On : May 3rd, 2024

My friend is pursuing BArch from LPU. What makes LPU stand out from other architecture colleges is the curriculum - the topics included in its syllabus include design approach, material and construction, climatology, services, aesthetics, urban context through schematic drawings, and 3D visualizations.

LPU is currently ranked at the 16th spot by NIRF. It is considered among the top 5 private colleges for Architecture, Design and Planning disciplines in India.

During my friend’s course, he pointed out the following points:

  • LPU is recognized by COA - the Council of Architecture (CoA).
  • Study tours, including visit to architectural and heritage sites, helped him with the maximum exposure to learn the technicalities of architecture.
  • He got to work on industry-relevant projects and case studies that helped him build his portfolio and get good projects. This makes LPU’s BArch program stand out from the rest.
