Some of the major streams chosen by an Engineering Candidate is-
1.) Computer Science Engineering
2.) Electronics and telecommunication Engineering
3.) Mechanical Engineering
4.) Civil Engineering
5.) Chemical Engineering
6.) Information Technology
7.) Electrical Engineering
8.) Metallurgical Engineering
And the list goes on, as according to the different options of courses which a student will get inside Engineering. Thus, it is advisable for the students to identify his area of interests, passion and his ambition and then take a wise decision accordingly.
B.Arch as a Career Option:

Any student who is 10+2 passed out with minimum 50% is eligible for this course and can pursue the same.
This five-year full-time programme is a blend of theorical and practical knowledge for students to learn the art of planning, designing and constructing physical structures of various kinds. Sometimes student correlate this course as a linking of Civil Engineering but deep down it is the subset of Civil Engineering and the course material and structure even the future growth varies significantly as compared to the Civil Engineering.
In India a student faces, these two popular exams for the study of B. Arch
1.) The National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA) and
2.) Architecture Aptitude Test (AAT)
Once a student secures good rank in any of these based on counselling a student can grab some of the finest college in this field and can pursue the education. Again, the student should do their homework based on the area of interests, passion and work profile and then only go and invest their 5 Valuable years and good amount of money in the same so that the yield can be productive and desirable.
