For opting a course or subject is basically depend upon your interest in particular stream, make confidence on your own.
Architecture needs creativity and have a bright career for girls, and Computer Science is also a better option; but choose according to your interest. And for Civil Engg. it is better for girls when you have Master’s degree in it.
