Hi Sashi, the three fields you stated leads to different career opportunities.The best way to decide is by figuring out your interests and career plans. Though you are too young to decide your career you will know what you like the most. If you are fond of physics and mathematics and aspire to become an engineer or scientist choose B.Tech. Similarly if you have a creative bent of mind and enjoy sketching, designing, gaming, computers go for animation. Similar definition applies for a career after B.Arch. You must enjoy doing what you do so follow your interests and passion. Irrespective of what you pursue you must have the aptitude and skills and in-depth knowledge to get a job. Hope you can make up your mind now.

Hi Anu,
B. Arch is more about technical course. It is the related to designing and constructing buildings and other physical structures.
Project management is much inclined towards the management aspects. Although Project management is not a rocket science, yet it often gets dressed up that way. In reality, project management is just a set of tools- a roadmap if you will, that enables managers to guide a project from point A to point B and do so in a way that demonstrates efficiency, cost-savings and plain 'ol ingenuity.
Being said that, the benefits of project management are ten-fold. If you want to pursue master's in project management, it is strongly recommended to pursue it from either from NITIE (Mumbai), NICMAR (Pune), SP Jain (Mumbai), VJTI (Mumbai).
The basic Benefits of pursuing master's in project management are:
1. Garner the skillets which required to manage project effectively
2. Learn Project Management Processes
3. Management Job Opportunities instead of technical job (B.Arch.)
4. Job opportunities in world-class construction, IT companies.
