Most colleges require candidates to have completed their Class 12 education with Physics Chemistry and Mathematics as mandatory subjects alongwith a minimum aggregate score of 50%. This requirement is essential because the curriculum of architecture heavily relies on mathematical concepts. Students must also qualify for entrance exams like NATA or JEE Main Paper 2, which further emphasise the need of a strong foundation in mathematics. Without Mathematics in Class 12 it may therefore not be feasible to pursue a B.Arch on completion.
