Which is better for B.Arch- NIT Trichy, NIT Calicut or Jamia Milia Islamia?

All three colleges fall on the list of top Architecture institutes in India. NIT Calicut and NIT Trichy are known for Architecture as their best programs. Having to know some people studying in these institutes, I can say that though NITs are the best for architecture, Jamia is also at par with them.

• It is obvious that NIT is a much more popular brand than Jamia. But it is still really good when it comes to architecture.
• Jamia has the locational advantage of being situated in the capital city.
• Jamia has better industrial exposure compared to NIT Trichy or Calicut.
• The course curriculum of NITs is more inclined towards the technical side, which is an upside.
• Placements at NITs are definitely better, but Jamia is also not lagging behind.
• The infrastructure is better in the NITs than Jamia, be it labs, seminar halls, library, etc.
• The fees at NITs are a bit higher than Jamia.
• Though students will get better opportunities after graduating from NIT Trichy or Calicut.

Therefore, it is suggested that you opt for NIT Trichy or Calicut for pursuing architecture. If not then you can go for Jamia instead, as it is also a good college.
