Hi,
NATA is conducted every year by COA for admissions in Architecture. All the NATA aspirant should have secured at least 50% marks in their qualifying exams. When the student attempts NATA he has to score more than 40 % marks in the exam, only then one can get an admission in a nice reputed architectural college. We have a couple of institutes providing coaching for NATA and architecture exams, one can know if its the best only when they visit the institute personally and observe things there. One of the good institutes I know is MAD SCHOOL in Hyderabad and Chennai. They have trained and successfully helped many students grow and join the best architectural colleges in the country.

Hi,
We have to compare both colleges. What makes the IBS-Hyderabad unique is it's culture. IBS follows case study methodology in the footsteps Harvard Business School. 1st-year students get to deal with real-world cases carefully designed the IBSCDC which is Asia Pacific's the largest repository of business management case studies. 2nd-year students get to study the cases straight from Harvard Business School itself. This allows students to get accustomed with the real world implication of the subjects that are taught in the course curriculum. In addition, there are 32 student activity clubs specializing in different verticals which keep the students engaged outside the academics with a plethora of activities throughout the course period. But, when it comes to Christ University, the BBA course from Christ University is ranked the top in India. So, yes it is pretty good. It has a very good curriculum along with a good exposure to the outside world. BBA from Christ is ranked the 1st in India, so you get a good brand name. Great placements and good exposure. The college has great infrastructure. So depending upon your choice, do a wise selection. My suggestion is that you should go with Christ University.

Hi,As the name is self-explanatory, India Institute of Engineering Science & Technology is one of the biggest and the oldest institution for doing engineering and architectural courses in India. The market value of IIEST is no less than Indian Institutes of Technology. So in the same way, the faculty members are also one of the best here. The professor (Mr. Mukherjee) is the founder of Tata Iron & Steel. Apart from it, there are a lot more teachers who have an excellent knowledge of the subject and having the good industrial experience to pass on the children. On the side of infrastructure, this is the best college. Its hostels (of boys and girls) are very good. The campus is at a great location with a good connectivity of public transports. And, the college is also Wi-Fi enabled to access all the study material for the students.

Hi,
Jadavpur University, Sushant School of Art, and Ansal University are the decent colleges for B.Arch, but if someone have to choose among these three then Jadavpur University is the best option for an aspirant who wants to join B.Arch course. For admission in Jadavpur University, a student needs to score more than 50% marks in class 12th with maths and physics as a subject and aspirant needs to secure a good rank in WBJEE exam. Jadavpur University ranked 9 among all the colleges in India. University QS Asia ranking is 125 and ranked 99 by Times BRICS. Jadavpur University has collaborations with many colleges such as IIT-Bombay and company for better education and training of students. Jadavpur University acquired CSIR research lab and became the first Indian institute to have such lab for research. For more details about Jadavpur University, visit the link provided below:

Hi,It is not necessary to be good at drawing portraits, figures, landscape etc. To excel in architecture and pursue B.Arch. It is more about the creative aptitude and the passion for design. There are many architects who communicate about their design through physical models. Also, I would like to point out here that there's a big difference between drawing like an artist and sketching your thoughts out on the paper no matter how messy they look. It does not need to be neat and clean but original. It obviously helps if you are good at sketching but not the deciding factor to pursue architecture. Other skill you need to inculcate is your observation and an eye for the little details. You should have a knack for design, which is of utmost importance. Grow your knowledge about buildings to fetch some quick marks in the entrance exam.

These are the most important topics to focus on while preparing for B.Arch exams. It has 2 parts. Part 1 being Mathematics & General Aptitude
Part 2 being drawing test
