 Job Prospects:

Since architecture is concerned with design of buildings for human use accounting for almost one-third of the total development activities, and with very limited number of institutions in North India offering B.Arch. programme, there are excellent opportunities for qualified architects specially in the private sector. Besides most of the architects start their own practice, which is more remunerative than salaried jobs.
