School of Planning and Architecture

Admission in PG courses at SPA is granted to candidates who have completed their bachelors degree from relevant fields of study with minimum 55% marks (50% for SC / ST / OBC candidates) in the qualifying degree examination.
Candidates will be evaluated in the following five areas as part of the admission procedure:
Performance in the qualifying examination,
Portfolio of work,
Personal Interaction with the program faculty and / or written test.
Interest and motivation for the chosen study and
Work Experience.
A cumulative score obtained from the above five areas will be used to draw up a merit list, based on which candidates will be granted admission into the PG courses.
You can opt for either the GATE exams or the CEED exams to gain entry to M.Arch in School of Planning and Architecture. Regards.

School of Planning and Architecture (SPA)-Delhi is one of the best and old private colleges Est in 1940. For admission in SPA, a student has to score good marks in the exam and interview. SPA provides training to students in various aspects of their course. SPA faculty members are quite better and provide full support to the students for their development.

Hello!
There is no comparison between the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur and School of Planning and Architecture. My advise is that your first condition to choose the college is its 'Global Market Value'. Because in today's world you can not be in the profitable condition if you are doing your M.Arch course (or any course as well) from less a recognised or low market value college. This will also degrade your value. Now, the company wants that type of students for their planning and architecture projects who have a great exposure of the current scenario at the global level. This gives you more understanding and in-depth knowledge of this particular field. Since IIT Kharagpur maintain this legacy for being a good global college in engineering & architecture, my vote will go for it. On the other hand, doing M.Arch from IIT-Kharagpur means earning a high paying salary with the placement in good and reputed companies. Hope this helps. Good luck.
