After completion of B.E in Civil Engineering, you can't do Architecture course.

If you can do B.Arch course from a recognized University then you are eligible to become an Architect.

But you should qualify in NATA, IIT JEE exam.

I am sorry that it's possible for you to become an Architect after passing BE in Civil engineering. Both the Civil Engineering and Architect are different field. You need to complete B. Arch or M.Tech in Architecture in order to become an Architect. Since, you have already completed B.E in Civil Engineering course, so I suggest you to pursue for M.Tech in Architecture.

Yes, it is definitely possible.

There are many students who do it.

You have to sit in NATA for this. The maximum age requirement for that is 23 years. If you are well within this age limit, you can definitely sit in NATA.

NATA stands for the National Aptitude Test for Architecture.

Various colleges other than the IITs and NITs offer the B. Arch. through this test.

It is conducted from April to June every year and the forms are sold out in the month of February to April.

For the admission a common merit list is prepared by based on the marks obtained by them in the test and the marks in 12th.

The weightage of the marks is 50-50 for both and the students are called for the counselling through which they get the colleges.
