This option is not generally available to pursue architecture after civil engineering, as it usually requires a Bachelor's degree in architecture as the eligibility criteria. However, one can go for similar work in fields of Urban and Rural Planning, Building planning, Landscape planning, Transportation, Environmental planning, Building information management, Geographic information systems, etc. If one is interested in structural engineering then structural design is also very specialized and valued field where you can also work in design firm using modern design software like staad, etabs, SAP, ansys, etc. These days. Also one can gain knowledge of software like autoCAD, Revit, BIM, arcGIS, etc. Extensively used nowadays for draughting of construction plans. -&get; Doing M.Tech in Architecture would be a good decision after B.Tech Civil. But there are certain points that you must think before making a final decision. There are lesser job opportunities in architecture but it depends on the college that you are getting admission into. If placement records are sound then nothing to worry about. You may go ahead Getting job at the start is tough due to less opportunities. Architectural job involves planning and designing and if you good at both of these then only step into this field otherwise you would regret. Also you need to be creative and imaginative. However, if you get a job initially then you won't face any problem. Also, the packages are very high right from the starting of the career and as you gain experience your package will keep on increasing rapidly.
