Hello Dheeraj,



As far as industry is concerned, both Architects and civil engineers are an indispensable part of the construction sector and are vital to the creation of beautiful yet practical, graceful yet super strong structures that stand the test of time. Being quite similar in nature, these two disciplines offer job opportunities in the same industry, and, therefore aspirants often get confused when it comes to choosing the right discipline between Architecture and Civil Engineering.

Architecture deals with the design of building or structures with prime focus upon the functionality and aesthetics. Architects deal with the look, feel and functionality of designs, while keeping in mind the basic structural elements of the building in mind.

On the other hand, Civil Engineers inspects, plans and executes the architectural designs for a building or structure. Civil Engineering concentrates on the structural elements of the design, making certain that the structure can endure normal and extreme conditions.

Considering the dynamic job profile, a civil engineer should expect basic starting remuneration of Rs 4-8 lakh/annum.



Architects can expect a starting salary of around Rs. 25,000 to 30,000 per month. However, with the expansion of skill-sets and experience, architects can earn up to Rs 1 Lakh per month.



I hope it helps.

Good luck!
