B.Arch aspirants learn in detail about architecture and in B.Planning they learn about planning. B.Arch deals with design and construction of building whereas B.Planning deals with human settlement and planning techniques. They learn how to run things effectively. Both are different courses, job opportunities are different, salary is different and work load is different. So it depends upon aspirants that in which field he/she wants to go for.

B.Arch and B.Planning are great courses in their own perspectives. They both offer great opportunities in various sectors. After B.Arch, one can opt for sectors such as housing societies, construction companies, building designing, etc. After B.Planning, one can get into town, society or urban/rural area planning. Both the sectors pay well however when we come to compare both these courses it can be acceptable to say that B.Arch is a better choice as you can easily get more job opportunities in the initial stages of your career as the companies and societies have projects that you can use to increase experience whereas town planning is quite huge projects. Also, one can pursue B.Planning at Masters level after B.Arch however vice versa is not possible and you can not work as an architect after B.Planning. The years of experience required at B.Planning is more for starters as compared B.Arch. So, B.Arch becomes a more preferable choice.

As far as I am concerned, you should opt for B.Arch as that is a better course with diversified opportunities. But, in case you are inserted in planning you can surely go for planning in Masters in architecture or work as an architect after studying Bachelors in Planning.
