Hello,
Coming straight to your query, there are large number of options available to you. You can join any of the institutes from FITJEE, Study Mate, Allen Career, Resonance, Rao IIT Academy and etc. But, let me clarify you on one thing that only good selection of coaching institute will not help you to conquer over the dream. You have to make plan & strategy by yourself.
The best coaching out of these are Resonance & Rao IIT Academy. These both institutes have well past experience for successfully selection of children in various big college for Architecture studies. They are having very good, trained, qualified and experienced faculty for the effective training of children. JEE Mains Paper 2 exam is not an easy exam. You have to do lot more hard work to clear this exam. Hence, my suggestion is that while doing selection of the best coaching institute try to spend some time on doing some research on your own parameters to make the best chosen.

Hello,
As per my suggestion, you don't need any sort of 'coaching' or something to prepare for BVP CET B.Arch examination. Because, the level of this exam is not as hard as you think for JEE Mains Paper 2 or AAT. If you are well prepared with your self-study, then you may score a very good score in this exam. To specific for your query, if you are planning to give the exam for BVP CET along with JEEs, NATA etc., then you might requires coaching institute. So, in this condition, the coaching institute like FIITJEE, Allen Career institute could help you up to some extent. Why I am saying 'some extent' is because the result is based on your preparation. You have to manage your day, your school, your coaching planning as your caliber.
Hence, my suggestion is, if you are going to appear in only BVP CET examination, then you are not required to join any coaching class.

Landscape Architecture (LA) is a field of study which involves the designing, planning and managing of the public areas, landmarks and parks in our environment. It is a multi-disciplinary field that includes botany, horticulture, geology, earth Science, geography and ecology. Landscape architects play an important role in designing and developing the projects, with respect to the environment.
The scope right now is good and the LAs have good career opportunities. They can work in construction companies, government organizations where there is a need for landscape architecture, architectural firms, and landscaping companies. No needs to have good communication skills, analytical and technical skills, problem solving skills and creativity to be successful in this field. No one can get jobs like:
1) Landscape Architect
2) Site Designer
3) Civil Engineer
4) Architect
5) Designer
6) Architect Manager
7) Landscape Consultant
8) Landscape Architect Supervisor
9) Urban designing
10) Site panning
Pay scale: The initial salary would be around INR 35,000-45,000 per month and it would increase with work experience and skills.

JEE Mains Paper 2 is an exam for admission in IIT and NIT or any other top college for B.Arch. KIITEE is exam organized by KIIT College just for admission in KIIT College, that's the reason JEE Mains is hard by nature. KIIT paper is valid for only one college admission, but JEE Mains paper 2 is valid for admission in any good college and that's why student wants to score better in this exam. Obviously, JEE Mains paper 2 is harder than KIITEE exam. Just check the overview knowledge of student about the subject in KIITEE. But, in JEE Mains paper 2 exam, they try to find the real deserving student for the degree that's why this exam is hard. In the last few year, hive of JEE paper is more which attract lot of student and the increasing crowd make the JEE Mains paper 2 tough.

NIT, known as National Institute of Technology is second choice of college among student after IIT. Many student dreams to go into NIT. Almost all NIT offers B.Arch course to student. Aspirant who wants to take admission to NIT, can firstly apply for JEE Mains paper 2 exam and after passing the exam, one can take admission. Another doubt is there are many campus of NIT, so it become difficult to choose which NIT is the best for B.Arch course:
1. NIT Calicut: NIT Calicut is one of the best college for B.Arch. Previous year's college placement record was 50% and almost 70% placement in B.Tech. Many Student got off campus placement in many company.
2. MANIT Bhopal: MANIT Bhopal is one of the old college among all NIT in India. College offers good placement to the student with an average salary of almost 5 Lacs per annum.
3. MNIT Jaipur
4. VNIT Nagpur
5. NIT Patna.

Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University, Est. in 1964 is one of the best colleges for higher education. College general ranking is 90 and university ranking is 54 By NIRF.

Many students got full time and part time job from this college. College is strongly connected with their alumni and it helps a student to gain feedback about the college and learn a lesson from them.

Hi, It will continue to be in demand for several reasons. Many engineers will avoid that field because of the attention to details it requires and the associated liability. Structural engineers are the reason people don't worry about buildings and bridges collapsing, and they demand a lot of respect.The the largest shift in materials in the future will be in composites and designs using high strength fibers that are strategically placed by structural engineers to withstand forces. I believe 3D printers will increase interest in using composite materials and they will start being utilized much more in construction in the future.nI have often been wrong about my predictions as to the future, so keep that in mind.nUnfortunately, it is very difficult to see a change as rapid as with the computer industry because unlike our industry they don't need billions of dollars to create something. I intend to say that our industry is very funding intensive and with depleting funds - it will be tough to get a rapid turnaround. Coming to the future in terms of technologies, contour grafting - 3D printing of houses has the potential to make its entry into regular housing practices. From the materials standpoint, sustainability is being stressed upon but a balance between sustainability and economy is preventing a lot of materials from making its entry - any advances on that balance can change a lot of materials we deal with. A change in design philosophies - limit design to performance-based, strength-based to durability based etc. Is happening to create a need for a change in our codes of practice and practice itself. The needed skill from labor is reducing with high tech products (like SCC, etc.). Which can make for a huge difference in terms of employed demographic and that could ultimately lead to more efficient construction methods.these years, we're seeing a lot of sustainability and full cradle-to-cradle. Also, we're seeing higher levels of integration between constructions and installations, in the name of energy efficiency. Structural engineering - at least in the building sector - is a rather conservative place, and new technologies only sift slowly through the branch. Materials are refined and so forth, but electronic technology is mostly something you add afterwards - it's not a part of the structural engineering itself. All the best.

Hi, At the expense of sounding biased, I think its pretty exciting to be a part of the urban planning, both its practice and its study as a discipline. I am an engineer by training and my graduate education in planning has incredibly expanded my worldview. On the theoretical side, the reconciliation of post-structuralist (post-modern) tradition within planning has been contentious and the concern, I think, hasn't yet subsided. How does the discipline, as a modernist project, conform to the demands of contingency, fluidity, polyvocality advanced by the post-structuralist movement, is the main question in the discipline.nTo put it simply, the demands placed by the 'real world' (ground-up participation, collaboration, adaptive governance, diversity in policy and plan making, salience of projects while maintaining plurality in process and outcomes etc.). Are pretty complex (note: not complicated) for them to be comprehended within a discipline designed to be reductionist in nature (segregation of planning departments, roles and responsibilities, capital-centric-evaluation tools like benefits-cost analysis etc., ).nHow can the top-down governance structure inject participative models of engagement? How can spatial and temporal dependencies evident in real world outcomes of policies and plans give way to a more adaptive approach? This dovetails into the practical side of planning. Issues like climate change, resource depletion challenges, environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, ecological challenge and loss of ecosystem services etc., are extremely important issues that gain amplified focus in planning, simply because it is here that man and his environment become the main thesis, the main challenge or object of the discipline.given these theoretical and practical aspects, planning evolution is rife, in meanings ascribed as to what the discipline should be about and what roles should planners assume. One can stay current by considering how major planning associations (APA, ACSP etc.). Shape the discourse and what comes off their position on aforementioned questions. How do major planning consultancies in US and in European countries approach the discipline in their work (is it stuck in neoliberal ideologies or conducive for other traditions like communicative and new urbanist projects).note: Admittedly, my attempt in answering this question has been from a generalist theoretical perspective. All the best.
