Architects in great demand: report
Architecture professionals and civil engineers are great demand today, primarily because of increasing construction activity in the city. This was inferred through a study taken by Harpreet Singh, a city-based management professional. In a sample of 200 students, who recently passed out 10+2 and appeared for Common Entrance Test (CET) for engineering, about 37 per cent wanted to pursue a career in the field of architecture. The results revealed that IT was again catching up as a preferred choice along with electronics in the field of engineering. There were, however, few takers for B.Tech degree in electrical engineering mainly because of lack of awareness of employment opportunities in this area. Mr Harpreet Singh said Punjab had very few colleges of architecture. The demand for the course was going to be doubled up in next three years. Fruit party
