Question

Dharamveer Dheer · Answer

You can do architecture course. Since the last decade, there has been increased requirement for luxury accommodation, shopping malls, renovations, alterations, and uniquely designed buildings. So, a profession in architecture is very rewarding nowadays. Architect salary in India offered to well experience incumbents by different private organizations is depending on the productivity and value addition to its revenue as well as brand. Whereas in government organizations these salaries for architects is based on government pay scales. Experience strongly influences pay for this job. A skill in Project Coordinating is associated with high pay for this job. Minimum salary can be INR 1518K Per month for the beginners but for an Architect, who is at Senior Position, for him it can be INR 2,50,000 per month. Best colleges for architecture are: Department of Architecture, IIT Roorkee Sir J College of Architecture, Mumbai Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar Faculty of Architecture, Manipal University Sushant School of Art and Architecture, Gurgaon Department of Architecture, NIT Tiruchirappalli Department of Architecture, NIT Calicut Department of Architecture, BIT, Mesra R V School of Architecture, RVCE, Bangalore Faculty of Architecture and Ekistics, JMI, Delhi.

Both are different fields. Before deciding, you need to know where your interest lies because without the interest both will be difficult to pursue. You better read architecture and journalism journals and literature and SEE which interest you more. LPU School of Architecture and Design is among best colleges and ranked among top ten promising architecture institutes of India by Higher education review. In an era of smart cities, sustainable buildings and contemporary interiors, we train our students to become lateral thinkers by focusing on critical design approach.

Talking about the placements companies like Al Rakha Group, Green Vision Architects, AKTC-Aga Khan Trust for Culture (Afghanistan), Capital region Development Authority (Kabul), Total Environment Builders, Wagma Designs etc. Visit here for recruitment purpose. LPU students shared how the conference benefited them by expanding their knowledge about design and creative arts and how words of renowned artists and designers widened their perspective on different forms of art. LPU gives a good platform to its students and wide exposure to show case their talent especially when world famous dignitaries come and student interview the. They gain many tie ups this way and enter the market.
