CAREER IN ARCHITECTURE

WHAT IS ARCHITECTURE?

An emerging course which involves one’s creativity and aesthetic sense is rising as a popular career option among students. Those looking for creative and artistic work which involves logical thinking and calculations too can find good career opportunities in architecture.

The course does not entertain any sort of cramming but common sense. Architecture provides much exposure to its students and grooms them at a professional level. The interface between classroom and sight is very narrow and within the course, all aspects of becoming an architect are taken care of.

COLLEGE LIFE:

B. Arch is very demanding and time consuming course, entitling it as one of the most difficult courses. However, this course also opens new horizons of ambition. It engages its students for five years.

The whole 5 year course aims at teaching students two major aspects of architecture , first is architecture itself i.e. how to design and how to implement the design , the second aspect is group work or in other words team management which is very crucial for an architect to learn.

A similar course like architecture is planning. It is closely related to architecture, however it does not involve designing in to it , a planning graduate is called a planner not an architect.

The duration is one year less than architecture. Planning involves analytical planning of cities, landscape, townships, housing projects etc.

LIFE AFTER ARCHITECTUE COLLEGE

One of the most common question students and parents asks us is placement of colleges. There are very few colleges in the world which are offering on campus placements in architecture , in fact placement is something which is not related to architecture, Take the example of a doctor or a lawyer none of them have placements and nor they can have , similar is the case with an architect.

It’s only the experience and your way of presentation which will make you grow.
