Manipal Institute Technology School of Architecture would be a better choice among the 2 options. It has a robust and up-to-date infrastructure needed for architecture education. Also, this college follows the syllabus of Manipal University which has evolved over years for Masters in architecture and is also widely accepted. Manipal Institute Technology School of Architecture has a good faculty strength with many faculties having done their Masters and Ph.Ds. Moreover, this college is affiliated to Manipal University which is very well recognized outside India and would give a better opportunity for higher education or work. Comparatively, Manipal Institute of Technology School of Architecture would be a better choice than Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University for Masters in architecture education.

Andhra University-Visakhapatnam would be a better choice among the 2 options. It has a very good infrastructure needed for architecture education. Also, It has an evolved syllabus that is more apt for Bachelors in architecture. Not just this, the college is also having a good faculty strength with many faculties having done their Masters. Not only that, it is well recognised outside India and would give a better opportunity for higher education or work. MEASI Academy also has a good faculty strength. But comparatively, Andhra University-Visakhapatnam would be a better choice than MEASI Academy of Architecture for Bachelors in architecture education.

Hello!
In comparison to Integral University, I would say that Jawaharlal Nehru Architecture and Fine Arts University is a well established and responsible University. The big reason to recommend that college is that it has the specialisation in the course which you are looking for. Photography and architecture based course is very expensive. The total per year fee for this is around INR 61000. The fee should be paid in the college and the entire fee is to be submitted in one go as there is no provision of half fee. Some of the photography courses offered by the college include product photography, electronic media and communication, television and post-production, media communication. It's a great opportunity to have this course. Course-based mostly on photography, we have a lot of practical work in the course offered by us. Hence, now it's up to you to make the decision regarding the selection.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.

Hello,
Out of the given two options, my preference would be to go for Ansals University for Masters in architecture. This is really good in comparison to Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology. Apart from the academics, the college provides a bit more which is very valuable for the students to get placed and rejuvenate him/her. It has a 'YES' Center for the International Award for Young People. Also, it is in close proximity of major malls in Gurgaon. The best and amazing thing is compulsory soft skills Training spread over all semesters by international and domestic trainers. In the architecture field, apart from the regular practice sessions for practical research, there is also some additional Certifications through global trainers during the course of study industry focused contemporary curriculum with multiple specialisations.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.

CEPT University, formerly the Centre for Environmental Planning and Technology, is an educational institute located in Ahmedabad. The Faculty of Architecture was established as the School of Architecture in 1962. The university was approved by the UGC in 2007. The school of architecture of CEPT offers both undergraduate and postgraduate courses in architecture newly B.Arch and M.Arch. The M.Arch has some specializations like urban design, architectural design, history, theory and criticism and conservation. Ph.D in architecture is also offered.
The university has a good amount of infrastructure and also has collaborations with few international universities. It has well experienced and knowledgeable faculty members who are aimed at providing good quality education.
The college offers many opportunities for internship programmes which will be very helpful for the students to gain practical knowledge in the field. Some of the recruiters were Crisil, Liases Foras, Feedback Infra, and few other companies. The graduates were also offered good packages. The average was around 3-5 LPA.

B.Tech in civil engineering is a 4-year course for 12th pass students and B.Arch is a 5-year course for 12th pass students.
B.Tech in civil engineering deals with planning, construction and maintenance of structures such as buildings, roads, stadiums, dams, etc. Aspirant learns about making and planning of structure for personal and social use. B.Arch deals with design, planning and construction of buildings and other physical structures.
Basically, both are doing the job of construction and planning but B.Arch pass outs think design in mind and design on paper and Civil engineers think how to make and make the design happen in reality.
Architects sees how the design works, care about colour, shape and civil engineers see how to make structure safe and strong for a long time.
