Hi friend,
architect is a licensed professional who organizes space.Architects design houses, office buildings, skyscrapers, landscapes, and even entire cities. For enrolling in such a program You must have completed your Plus two education with physics, chemistry,mechanical/ engineering drawing and mathematics, with a minimum of 60 percent marks. Often an entrance test have been taken by organizations.
For more information you can have a look at it at http://in.rediff.com/getahead/2005/feb/10arch.htm.
Enjoy mylotting.

No my dear friend, I am not a student of architecture. I am pursuing B.tech from Computers. But my college also offers architecture course, thats why I am in contact with some of the future architects.
Enjoy Mylotting.

Hi, I'm a graduating architecture student, and I admit it is not an easy course. The first character one should have is the will and the passion to continue and finish the course. Approximately, 1/5 only of my batchmates since first year survived until this last semester. You don't have to be very very good in drawing but, you have to know how to draw, and have plenty of ideas. Basically that is it, and one of the most important thing is, the money, the tuition fee is expensive, the materials and equipment are more expensive, your parents have to prepare their wallets hahaha

I agree with kafueenu. You need not to be good in drawings. All you need is a creative mind that could go beyond the possibilities. Another thing is that you should have the guts to seek out new information for innovation and present it to your design coz that is what the professors seeks for :D
