Hello sir , my son got 31000 rank in jee mains and 17000 in jee advance , he has cleared AAT and as per mock round 1 he is getting BArch in IIT ROORKEE now we are confused should we keep this option or put other option like mechanical in nit kurukshetra, delhi , Hamirpur or IIIT UNA cse etc on top above it....how is the scope and atmosphere of IIT roorkee barch
Ans: Based on the latest placement data and institutional comparisons, IIT Roorkee’s B.Arch offers near-universal placement rates (90–100%) with recruiters like Microsoft, J.P. Morgan, and L&T, supported by interdisciplinary training in sustainability, smart cities, and heritage conservation. While Mechanical Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra (86% placement), NIT Delhi (75–85%), and NIT Hamirpur (98.06%) provide stable core-sector outcomes, roles are often restricted to manufacturing/automotive sectors, necessitating self-driven upskilling for IT transitions. IIIT Una’s CSE reports declining placement rates (61% in 2024 vs. 87% in 2023) despite higher demand for software roles, raising reliability concerns. IIT Roorkee’s **#1 NIRF Architectureanking, DGCA-recognized labs, and global research collaborations provide unmatched academic rigor and sectoral diversity, though architectural careers demand specific passion. Prioritize IIT Roorkee B.Arch for institutional prestige and placement assurance if inclined toward design/urban planning; opt for NIT Mechanical only if core engineering aligns with long-term goals, acknowledging the need for supplementary coding skills. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
