School of Architecture provides differential programme outcomes from basic to advanced one I. e the School inculcates practical implication and goes beyond the conceptual understanding. #The programme is structured in five groups taking care of every dimension of the growing and ever-changing design industry viz. Core Courses, Supporting Courses, Skill Development Courses, Management Courses, Elective Courses. #The curriculum is benchmarked against the most renowned institutions of the world and is further strengthened through live design projects which help thorough assimilation of theoretical concepts. #The focus is on application-oriented teaching with live architecture design projects, extensive models, and fieldwork. #LPU believes in providing real-life exposure instead of just book knowledge.

SPA is better than LPU because your course is not as famous as B.Tech or other technical streams and it is always better to get into well-established institutes SPA, who are purely focused on your domain. Moreover, SPA has a great alumni and moreover better scope for your branch than LPU. Go for it.
