You should choose Architecture if: you only want to design and plan regular buildings (houses, hospitals, factories, office buildings, etc.) you don’t want to be involved in the actual construction process. you prefer working in an office without the need to do field work.
Can we study architecture after civil engineering?
Civil engineering and Architecture are two really different branches and hence it is not advisable to pursue Architecture after doing Civil as you must have already spent 4 years for B. tech and B. Arch is for 5 years (which sums up to 9 years in total!).
Can a civil engineer become an architect India?
Yes, in fact civil engineers can make great architects as they would then understand the structure holistically and there would be good synergy between aesthetics/utility and structural efficiency/constructability. But even civil engineers should take proper formal training before they venture into architecture.

How did your interest in civil engineering begin?
My interest in civil engineering began after I passed my GCSE’s and moved on into 6th year. I had no real idea beforehand what I wanted to do and I went out on work experience with British Telecom doing electrical engineering. I enjoyed the week but the options as a job I found were very narrow and there wasn’t a great challenge.
Does being a civil engineer pay off financially?
In my experience, being a civil engineer does not financially pay off when you compare it to other engineering disciplines, especially when you compare it to the amount of work required to get your P.E. license (Professional Engineering). This license takes 2 tests to get it and you have to work for an number of years.

As a civil engineer, you are likely to be constantly on the move, sharing your time between the site, the office and perhaps even different geographical locations. While civil engineering can be somewhat stressful, the profession includes a huge sense of accomplishment to make it all worthwhile.
