Where should we go for an internship in B. Arch? Is it better to do it from abroad? Is it good to do it from India?

Hi Parv, Internships in Architecture are of utmost importance, since internships help students gain a relationship between the academic part of coursework and the pragmatic aspects of designing and building to the execution level. Broadly speaking, there can be two types of internship in Architecture Summer or winter internship (which lasts 1-2 months ) Mandatory semester internship as per the guidelines of CoA (Council of Architecture) Unlike Engineering or Science students, where they have the option to do either a Corporate internship or a University internship, most of the internships in Architecture are supposed to be pursued in an Architectural office or firm. University internships in Architecture are very job specific and rare. The semester internship is specifically allocated for internship in a professional office; hence many institutes like to call it “Professional Training”. Now some might ask why it is such that the internships in Architecture are more focused towards professional office environment, the answer is, because of the difference in level of execution between an academic project and a live, real time project. First and foremost, you have to develop two very important components of your application. First is your CV or resume, and second is a portfolio. The latter holds more importance than the former. I think developing a CV or resume is not a problem, but the trickier part is making a Portfolio. Hope this information helps. Please feel free to revert.
