Jamia Millia Islamia-Faculty of Architecture & Ekistics (FAE-JMI) accepts scores from two entrance exams for admission to its B.Arch. program:

• National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA)
• Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main Paper-2

Both exams assess your aptitude and skills in various areas relevant to the field of architecture, including:

• Drawing and sketching: Ability to represent spatial ideas and objects accurately and creatively.
• Mathematics: Understanding of geometry,  trigonometry,  and other mathematical concepts used in design and construction.
• Physics: Knowledge of mechanics, statics,  and other physical principles applied in building design.
• General knowledge and awareness: Understanding of current events,  social issues,  and environmental concerns related to architecture.

While FAE-JMI accepts scores from both NATA and JEE Main Paper-2, they consider NATA scores more relevant to the B.Arch. program. This is because NATA specifically focuses on architectural aptitude, whereas JEE Main Paper-2 includes a broader range of subjects.
