Is it a problem for pursuing MBA course after completing B.Arch?

You definitely can pursue an MBA after B.Arch, it depends on your interests and competencies. You need to ask your self a few questions before you make that decision. Do your core competencies lie in management? Are you sure that you want to move away from the 'design' aspects of construction towards the 'business' aspects? If the answers to the above two question are affirmative, then you should go ahead and pursue an MBA. I would suggest you to look at specialised Management programmes which are relevant to Real Estate, Project Management, Construction Management. In India, NICMAR and RICS SBE offer these courses. You would be working in Management positions in Developer (Lodha, Oberoi, SPRE, Sobha), Contractor (L&T, HCC, SPCL, Gammon, Bilimoria) and Real estate Consulting (CBRE, JLL, Knight Frank, Cushman Wakefield, Colliers) Organisations and also some companies from the middle east, after your course. Don't make your decision based on the high pay that is associated with management positions initially, over the course of time you can earn equally well in core architecture field as well, the initial salaries are less as your learning curve is still taking shape for the first 4-5 years.
