Architecture

The Admission process for Sir JJ College of Architecture begins in June and students will get admission on the basis of NATA Score. Sir JJ College is located in Mumbai and is one of the top Architecture Institutes in the country.

I don't know about IIEST Shibpur as it will obviously factor in your JEE Mains AIR (paper 2 if yo're going for B.Arch and to secure a good AIR with 57% in chose is not possible. (I think they set the minimum cutoff at 60% to appear for counselling). Even though to GET Architecture in JU you need to merely give the NATA exam (the score is irrelevant), even JU has a minimum cutoff of 60% in boards. I'd suggest, if your board permits it, appear for an improvement examination.

Based on the ranking you will be allotted a seat in the college. If you want particular college then reach out to college and take the seat. All the Best.

The basic eligibility criterion is minimum 50% marks in class 12th from a recognised board with mathematics as a compulsory subject. Also, there is an architecture specific entrance exam i.e. NATA (National Aptitude Test in Architecture). You need to pass this exam- secure at least 80 out of 200. Thereafter, the admission to various colleges will be based on the merit marks obtained in NATA and class 12th.
