In North India, you can try UPES school of planning and Architecture for these programs UPES has better track record of placements so far plus the university is pretty known for industrial exposure and updated curriculum so its must try. Good luck

Hi Ruby,
You haven't mentioned which state you are from. If you are referring to colleges in India, you have to know that competition for B.Arch seats is increasing every year. I'd suggest you to choose a college in which you don't have to pay much fee. Don't go for a management quota seat in a very good college, because all you'd be doing is wasting money. B.Arch is about subject and can be best learnt by yourself on the internet or by doing case studies, etc. Just make sure the college you go to has approval of the Council Of Architecture and that it has a good library.
To answer your question directly, there are no such colleges as " Good colleges". Its all about your priorities.
For a detailed list of colleges, google " List of COA approved colleges in _( your state/ city )" If the colleges are close to where you stay, Go visit the campuses once.

Hi Divya,
NATA is designed in such a manner that prior tutelage is not required. COA-NIASA is aware that candidates will have no or minimal knowledge of architecture. NATA examination which consist of two parts, measures aptitude of the candidate in his / her aesthetic sensibilities (3D visualization, logical understanding, etc.) and drawing skills, that are in-built in every candidate and developed right from childhood to the present day.
The paper based drawing test is of two hours duration and computer based online aesthetic sensitivity test is of one hour. Computer based test will be given only after completing the Paper based test. For further details check: http://tinyurl.com/yk8osfc.The details of the Test Centers and NATA registration shall be made available at www.nata.in or www.niasa.org or www.nisasa.in in due course. It is always a good idea to start preparing for entrance exams at the beginning of 11th standard. Try to capture at least 80 % of the total syllabus. Incorporate difficult topics if you already have a sound understanding of them. If not, start with the easier topics then tackle the difficult ones. Make sure that you use the right reference and study material. Focus on the method of solving the problems instead of simply mugging up the answers. Spend the initial few months in revising the basic concepts learnt in standard 9th and 10th.Ensure that you study concepts like algebra, mechanics extensively as they also form the basis of several other topics.
You can go for online coaching from ICR Education Society Bhopal, offers Tutorials for Architecture & Engineering Entrance exams like GATE Exams, CEED Exams, NATA Exam, AIEEE, MHCET, CEPT, NID, Srishti, NIFT, NIIFT etc. They have online and correspondance course too.you can contact through icr.edu@gmail.com.You can go in for correspondance / regular coaching classes from brilliants, FIITJEE.

Hi Divya,
Hypothesis
In life, we can't guarantee anything. People clearing IIT JEE might fail later in Engineering, while person failing in JEE might be able to do better in career.
Experiment
Aptitude test or NATA is for qualifying architectural course. On average, scoring better in it would means you would enjoy the course. But it is not a guarantee that you would be as successful as you were in NATA scoring. You can't compare 5 years program with a 2-3 hour exam. Obviously, you need patience and consistency for doing good in architecture.
And even if you do good in course, does not guarantee that you would be similarly successful in career or practice.
I would suggest you that don't expect that ways. Enjoy the course, if you are interested in this field.
