My friend did his B. Arch from BIT Mesra, so I can give you a brief idea about the course.

Architecture depends on your vision, on your projection, and how you see the world. Therefore, college views could differ. Architecture is not like maths which would be the same throughout the world, it is designing and depends on how you can plan your thoughts.

Some of the striking features of BIT-Mesra (Architecture) are as follows.

• BIT-Mesra has a state-of-art course structure. This may not sound important but most of the top universities look at the course structure for Masters.
• BIT-Mesra has great faculty. Most of them get an offer from the most prestigious colleges around the world.
• B.I.T. gives a strong software and structural base to students. They are successful in making you think economically too, very important in a country like India.
• There is a good balance between contemporary architecture and traditional architecture.
• Alumni Network: The Alumni network at BIT-Mesra is strong as well as global. In college, electives like Architectural Journalism, Photography, Conservation, and Urban Planning are good to have and though, they are only a few among so many, it gives you an idea of different fields you can aim for from B.Arch.
• Placements or Job-Scenarios: On-campus training and placements isn't a very happening scene in BIT-M, though there are amazing placement stats among other departments. But things are different for architecture and they have an effective system builtin in the course structure including internships in the final semester. This also happened because students generally have internships finalized (through personal emails) much before the Career Fair starts. 
• Co-curricular: Being a nationally recognized school, great co-curricular activities are happening in the college regularly. These co-curricular lead to the personal growth of an individual and architecture comes out as the winner in many activities and competitions. Great workshops are organized throughout the year at the institute.

Going by the above factors, it is safe to say that BIT Mesra is a good option for pursuing a degree in Architecture.

One of my friends pursued his B.Arch from NIT Raipur. According to his experience, a Bachelor of Architecture from NIT Raipur is not a good option. The faculty quality is average. There is too much workload on students. 

The table below gives a brief overview of the Department of Architecture of NIT Raipur.

Key Highlights:

• There are several good colleges in Maharashtra and Gujarat for Architecture. But NIT Raipur has a lot of bad reviews from students who have studied B.Arch in the institute.
• Most teachers in Architecture at NIT Raipur are not good in their teaching habits and capabilities. Teachers make students mindless about their actions, even some hard working ones.
• It is obvious that Architecture studies involve a lot of hard-work in assignments, but teachers are not even sensible about the fact.
•  The curriculum at NIT Raipur is such that it can frustrate a student who has good concepts to the core.
• People may tell you a college does not matter in the overall development of students. But, it is true that in fields like architecture and management, you need to be smart enough to deal with a lot of people in your career. So, the institute's atmosphere, and the people surrounding a student, do matter.

NIT Raipur is not a decent place for a Bachelor of Architecture, considering all the above factors. If you have any other options, it will be wise to go for them.

Sharda University, Amity University, and Noida International University are all UGC approved private institutions of India. While Noida International is not graded by NAAC, Sharda has a ‘B’ grade and Amity has an ‘A’ grade from the same.

Prospective jobs in B.Arch include design architect, project architect, interior designer, urban planner, etc in sectors such as public works department, department of railways, national building organization, etc. The average salary in this field ranges from INR 3 to 6 LPA.

Tabulated below gives a brief about both the institutes:

Infrastructure and facilities

• Sharda University: The modern campus is spread across 63 acres of land and provides facilities such as hostels, stores, pharmacy, hospital, transport, library, gym, laundry, salon, community radio, IT department, student activity centre, cafeteria, etc.

• Amity University: The grand campus of Amity consists of amphitheater classrooms, auditoriums, arcadia, food outlets, fitness centre, sports arena, library, Wi-Fi access, etc. It hosts numerous events and activities every year.

• Noida International: Facilities offered to the students include sports and games equipment, medical care, fitness and health centers, canteen, accommodation, etc on its 75 acres green campus.

Placement Statistics

• Sharda University: 80% of students were placed overall. The highest salary package received is INR 65 LPA. 350+ recruiters, like Amazon, Videocon, Asian Paints, L&T, etc, recruit graduates from the university.

• Amity University: The highest package offered was 30 LPA and the average was 4.5 LPA. 1706 students were placed in companies such as Amazon, Shell, Indian Navy, Google, Byju’s, etc.

• Noida International: 98% of students (approximately) were placed, with the highest package offered to be INR 9 LPA. Top recruiting companies included Google, Wipro, Ola, Vivo, 99acres, etc.

Interested individuals must thoroughly research the universities and choose one that suits their needs and expectations the best. The choice should be based on factors such as academic caliber and personal disposition.

From the half-century of its existence, the newfound department of Architecture had produced 800 graduates in Architecture and 300 postgraduates in Town Planning.

NASA (National Association of Students of Architecture) was founded by the undergrad students collectively. The association is non-political and non-profitable. The department has a dynamic student’s body. Even its Alumni are spread across the world and the senior-junior relationship is wonderful.

Teaching:

• The professors are experienced, but they have a small ounce of work experience. So, their teaching lacks the upgraded trends and technologies that are being used in the present day. Even the syllabus is outdated.
• Most of the professors are not very student-friendly. It is better to maintain professionalism.
• Initially, the students find the college burdensome, but with time it is manageable. Most classes are held regularly.

Placement:

• There is hardly any placement assistance in this department. Students have to arrange the job/ internship for themselves. 
• Construction companies that visit the campus are not interested in recruiting architecture students. 
• Hardly 4-5 students get selected in MN Dastur. Although if a student has maintained a decent portfolio, they can get a job at lower packages.

IIEST Shibpur is one of the best colleges in eastern India in terms of infrastructure, campus, cultural fests (REBECA), and accommodation. The architecture department is the most active. Five years of architecture are packed with learning and growing.
