Hi,

Best NIT for B.Arch  -  NIT Trichy

Best SPA for B.Arch  - SPA Delhi

In my opinion you should go for SPA Delhi.

SPA Delhi has established brand name since its establishment in 1944 as it is the oldest college of its kind. It has a rigorous admission procedure taking top rankers from JEE (around AIR 800 for B.Arch & AIR 1600 for B.Planning) for undergraduate and through 5 way (SOP, GATE along with academic score and achievements till UG, Written test, experience & Interview) process for Post Graduate. Hence You are gonna find a bunch of top class students from all over the country. The faculty members include either the experienced academicians or the renowned professionals from their field. NIT focuses more on theory part and SPA focuses more on the recent trends in Architectural technology. For an architect SPA Delhi is as prestigious as IIT for a Civil Engineer.

There are many factors you need to consider before concluding which is better:

1. Faculty: From what I've heard, the faculty in SPA is better than NIT Trichy.
2. College infrastructure: NIT Trichy has better infrastructure primarily because it's a well established institution.
3. Student environment: NIT Trichy has a much better student environment because you will be constantly in touch with students of various other educational and family backgrounds.
4. Extra-curricular activities: I don't think SPA stands a chance in front of NITT in this category. NITT has loads of extra-curricular activities which aren't found in most of the colleges in India.
5. Distance from home: Depends on you.
6. College reputation: Both have an equally good reputation.

Here is the sequence  :-

1. SPA DELHI
2. SPA BHOPAL
3. SPA VIJAYWADA
4. NIT TIRUCHI
5. BIT MESRA

Hope this helps.
