Hi lalit,
An architect is general terms is the one responsible for the basic design of the Building, whereas the interior designer is more concerned with the interior ambiance.
An Architect : -undergoes a rigorous education, which includes higher mathematics and drafting.-Usually undergo internships before going out into the world.
-They must possess an understanding of a buildings basic structures. Most importantly an architect is responsible for the integrity and soundness of the buildings.An interior designer can take an absolutely hopeless place and turn it into something charming and comfortable. Though they can suggest structural changes to walls, windows and additions, they can't do the architectural plans.-They normally work with fabrics, furnishings flooring paint, wall coverings, art and object d'arts.
So while interior designers don't perform a critical role in safety or integrity, they often work hand in hand with the clients architect to ensure a smooth and even flow of information. Both have a critical place in industrial and home design.

Hi Anu,
In laptops, don't buy any thing below i7 and 8gb ram and 2gb graphic card, if possible customize it and add extra 8gb and make it 16 gb ram and add an external graphic card while doing high resolution renderings.
If you are looking for specific brands, here are few which I can suggest u (I am considering only the high end models in this brands ):
1. Alienware ( although the price will be above 1.5 lacs I will still suggest it, it is the best one in the market which can take that extra load of an architect. Its a bit heavy in weight but believe me its the best to do you're heavy drawings, you don't have to shut it for days :no problem or heating issues : not at all, graphics output : best in the market , you can do heavy drafting work in auto cad, high resolution max rendering in backgrounds, high resolution walk through in luminous in backgrounds, presentations in PS all at same time without any lag. Music system : awesome. Trust me your second love after architecture will be this laptop
2. Macbook pro ( this will be the second best option after alien ware, comes around 1lakhs ,every thing is just fine, u won't feel any lag in doing multitasking in rendering works , great battery backup and sound system )
3. Lenevo y series or z series ( the third and last option for u, comes around 70 k, z series was far better then y series but they are not available these days, so u can go for the higher models in y series , can take really heavy load , graphic is awesone ,4hrs of battery backup , jbl sound system , if you don't have a budget for above two go for this, u won't regret )
4. This one is most important . Do not buy any laptop other than ones mentioned above if you don't want to take extra load other than u'r submissions and deadlines.
Did I mention, don't forget to buy an ADP warranty with it (if possible buy an extended one), we architects definitely need it, u never know when r u going to sleep on u r laptop after u'r endless submissions and sleepless nights.
All the best for your new gadget.

Hi Anu,
MBA can be beneficial because you'll have a better idea what will be required of you in the professional world. An MBA would be very helpful if your goal is to own your own business or to be a principal in an architectural firm.
Also, I must mention that if your bachelors degree in architecture is not a 5 year program, in most cases you will not be allowed to get registered. It makes more sense to get your Masters in Architecture first, then work for a few years, get your licenses, and then purse the MBA.
This is a very effective way to keep your career on track while learning the business background on the side. If you live in an area with a good university that offers an MBA to working professionals, this is a great way to get an MBA.

Hi Anu,
Depending on what country you are in, almost all US universities allow transfer students after the sophomore year so that is not the problem although you will have to compete for entry with all the other applicants. Not having a portfolio is not huge problem since most high school graduates don't have that either.
Depending on your finances, the bigger issue may be that it will take you an additional 4 to 4.5 years to finish since you don't have any architecture studio classes completed to date. Most (good) undergraduate architecture degrees in the US are 5 years in length.
