My sister appeared for JEE Mains paper-2 in 2013 and scored 228, his rank was somewhat around 5000. She got NIT-B in the 3rd round of counseling itself.
NIT Calicut is a great option for pursuing Architecture. The department has excellent faculty members. Most of the professors are well-experienced. You can get their help regarding any academic problems you may face during your course.
NIT Calicut placements are decent for Architecture. L&T is one of the major recruiters that visit the campus placement frequently.
This course gives you the freedom like no other engineering courses. There are many students from different parts of the world, living away from their families for the very first time, feeling lost and scared. But they end up forming a family amongst them.
NIT has numerous clubs where you can pursue a hobby. You can even start a club of your own. If that becomes a bigger commitment, you can also take part in organizing cultural and tech fests. Even if you don’t want to do anything, you can sit and relax.

Whatever you do, the people you meet in NIT are very cooperative and friendly. As far as studies are concerned, you might not remember what your teachers have taught you, but you would definitely remember whatever you have learned from your friends and batchmates.
The course demands you to be hardworking. This department here is well known for their unity amongst themselves. As it is a national college, the course is well-organized.
My friend did his B. Arch from BIT Mesra, so I can give you a brief idea about the course.
Architecture depends on your vision, on your projection, and how you see the world. Therefore, college views could differ. Architecture is not like maths which would be the same throughout the world, it is designing and depends on how you can plan your thoughts.
Some of the striking features of BIT-Mesra (Architecture) are as follows.
Going by the above factors, it is safe to say that BIT Mesra is a good option for pursuing a degree in Architecture.
NIT Calicut is among the country’s best NITs. It is an institute of national importance. The placements are definitely good at NIT Calicut.
Placement highlights of the year 2020 for NIT Calicut.
NIT Calicut is among the very few NITs that offer programs in Architecture and will not disappoint you.
From the half-century of its existence, the newfound department of Architecture had produced 800 graduates in Architecture and 300 postgraduates in Town Planning.
NASA (National Association of Students of Architecture) was founded by the undergrad students collectively. The association is non-political and non-profitable. The department has a dynamic student’s body. Even its Alumni are spread across the world and the senior-junior relationship is wonderful.

Placement:
IIEST Shibpur is one of the best colleges in eastern India in terms of infrastructure, campus, cultural fests (REBECA), and accommodation. The architecture department is the most active. Five years of architecture are packed with learning and growing.
When it comes to comparison between BIT Mesra and NIT Trichy, the latter is way better than the former. Therefore, it is evident that the placement at NIT Trichy is also better than BIT Mesra.
A few points to note:
NIT Trichy would be a better choice upon BIT Mesra when it comes to architecture. But, the choice is yours.
NIT Calicut CSE is a better option compared to IIT KGP Agricultural. It offers good academics and placement opportunities for CSE. Companies like Amazon, Cisco, Infosys, Microsoft, etc. visit NT Calicut placements. During 2022 campus drive, students of CSE received an average CTC of around INR 20 LPA. The highest package for CSE goes up to INR 49-50 LPA.
The choice of your institute depends on what you are expecting from it. For instance, if you are just after the brand name, then the IIT tag will come to your rescue. However, if you are on the lookout for quality education that will match your requirement to pursue a career in architecture, then SPA is a very good option. The only drawback is that there are no Institute placements and you need to have a good portfolio or Architectural background to get a good job.
If you are after placements, IIT Kharagpur and Roorkee can guarantee you very good packages, sometimes even in crores. The issue with this option is that you will have to first clear JEE Advanced and then AAT, after which only you can get admission.
I have told you the positive and negative implications of both the institute, make a wise decision.
Firstly a hearty congratulations to you for scoring a good rank in JEE Main. However, it is quite difficult to get a seat at SPA Delhi in this rank. The 2nd best option can be SPA Bhopal. Moreover, SPA Vijayawada is relatively newer and cannot be trusted.
I have friends studying at both Bhopal and Vijayawada, from what I've heard, Bhopal is a better option. SPAs are purely design institutes and thus the exposure would be greater.
Since your chances at SPA D are quite on edge, you can instead look for the following colleges in order of preference:
NIT Nagpur> NIT Bhopal> SPA Bhopal> NIT Jaipur> SPA Vijayawada and so on.
If you want to go for NITs, choose the one with better infrastructure, weather, and a diverse crowd. There are many other good institutes as well but do your proper research and take the right decision for yourself.
