  1. I hope that Council does recognizes Masters and MSc done in field of Architecture… for 1 or 2 years… Msc In Energy Efiicient & Sustainable Building has essential to do with Architecture and most importantly to do with buildings being energy efficient…. Sir i hope you can look into the matter..
