• Placements

The field of architecture offers very few placements pertaining to this very college as most individuals have to find their own internships or jobs. There are no core companies that come to campus for recruitment making it difficult to earn a living.

The architecture domain is quite interest-specific; therefore it should be opted for only when the individual is adamant enough to pursue it for the rest of life. It is a course having hefty fees but good placements. The decision should be taken after keeping this in time.
