With 61% in 12th boards and 74 marks in NATA, getting admission in top architecture colleges in Maharashtra through government quota is difficult, as the cutoff for good colleges is usually 90+ in NATA.

However, you can still aim for:

• Private Architecture Colleges with low fee structures accepting lower NATA scores.
• Management quota seats in mid-tier colleges.
• Some self-financed institutions may have flexible cutoffs in mop-up or spot rounds.

Possible Colleges with Lower Fees:

• Sinhgad College of Architecture, Pune
• Smt. Manoramabai Mundle College of Architecture, Nagpur
• Vishwaniketan’s Institute of Design, Raigad

With a practical rank of 1711 and 2AR (Second Agriculturist Rank) in Karnataka B.Sc. Agriculture admissions, your chances for a government seat in prominent colleges of Uttara Karnataka districts (like Dharwad, Vijayapura, etc.) are moderate.

In previous years, ranks within 2000–2200 in 2AR have secured seats in some district government colleges, though top colleges may close earlier.

With a JEE Main Paper-2 CRL rank of 3438 and OBC-NCL rank of 949, you have a fair shot at some top architecture colleges.

SPA Vijayawada:
You stand a good chance here. Previous years show OBC-NCL closing ranks around your range, especially in Round 2 or 3. So yes, SPA Vijayawada is possible.

NITs to focus on:

• NIT Hamirpur: Safe. Cutoffs often go well beyond 5000 CRL.

• NIT Raipur / Patna: Possible. Both have closed around 3900–4000 CRL in recent years.

• MANIT Bhopal: Slightly tough but worth trying.

• NIT Rourkela, Calicut, Nagpur: Unlikely. These usually close much earlier.

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, you can apply for a diploma in architecture in West Bengal with 41% in the Madhyamik exam of the West Bengal Board.

Madhyamik Pass with an overall of 35% is required for the diploma entrance examination, JEXPO entrance Exam. For the architecture Diploma, you need to ensure that you have mathematics and Science in your Madhyamik.

If you clear the Entrance exam, then you need to take part in the counselling. There, you have government and private colleges based on your merit ranks, you can get into the college.

Wishing you all the best for your future endeavors. Thank you!

Yes, with 41%, you are eligible for a Diploma in Architecture via JEXPO.

• You must appear for JEXPO , which tests Math, Science, and English at the Class 10 level.

• Admission is based on your JEXPO rank , not just your Madhyamik marks.

• A good rank can get you into Architecture or related diploma streams.

Hello,

Since you’ve scored 41% marks in your Madhyamik examination under the West Bengal Board, your chances of getting admission into a Diploma in Architecture course might be slightly limited. Most polytechnic institutions in West Bengal offering diploma courses, including Architecture, require candidates to qualify the JEXPO entrance exam and also expect a minimum percentage (often around 35% to 50%) in Class 10 with Mathematics, Physical Science, and English. Since you’ve passed Madhyamik, you do meet the basic eligibility to appear for JEXPO, and if you can perform well in the entrance exam, you could still secure a seat in a diploma college.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Hi Anushka,

Yes, if you are interested in the field, pursuing B.Tech in Naval Architecture and Ship Building at IMU Visakhapatnam is a good decision. Indian Maritime University (IMU) is broadly recognized by the Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways, Government of India as being a premier institution. IMU Visakhapatnam offers an industry-specific curriculum, experienced faculty, and access to India's expanding shipbuilding and defense maritime states. Graduates are placed in numerous occupations in various shipyards, design firms and marine consultancies, including government organizations like DRDO and the Indian Navy.

hi,

Since you appeared only for JEE Main Paper 2 B-Planning and did not appear for the B-Architecture paper, you won't be eligible for admission to B-Architecture courses. The architecture seats require you to appear and qualify in the B-Architecture paper specifically.

If a college offers both B-Architecture and B-Planning, your rank in the Planning paper can help you get a seat only in the B-Planning course, not in Architecture.
