Importance of getting seats in reputed architecture colleges
(blog post by IGNITE – centre for nata coaching)
Do you know, India is facing a deficit in the number of architects to construct a developed nation. Surveys state that every year India requires 1 lakh architects and out of which only 20% is met.
There are a lot of civil engineers in our nation, who execute the plans of the architects. But we lack the sufficient number of architects to construct these plans. Statistics provide the data that there are 4 lakhs civil engineers graduating every year.
There are 400 plus colleges in India providing architectural courses, that is only 24000 students are supposed to be enrolled in architecture a year in government and aided colleges.
Why it is important to choose the right college?
It is a fact that college from where you are going to graduate have a great role in determining the value of your qualification and your skills.
Many students tend to join private college since they are not able to score well in the NATA EXAM (National Aptitude Test in Architecture). They are not ready to take risk of attempting the exam next year. This decision might spoil the career of a potential candidate.
Why government colleges?
It is always advisable to pursue a professional degree like architecture from government colleges or the best colleges approved by the government. For making this possible you have to score high in NATA exam.
We found that a lot of colleges in India are not having qualified architect according to COA(Council of architecture)regulation.
Without good alumni strength, students are not getting the right exposure to develop their skills. So what we are saying is choosing a good architecture college is very important for their career development.
