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.

Dear aspirant,

Yes. You can include your 12 Improvement examination results when applying for the KEAM 2025 exam for Architecture . The KEAM rank list takes into account both your KEAM entrance exam score and your class 12 marks . The CEE will likely provide a way for you to submit your improved marks during the marks submission process. For more information about marks entry process you can visit this link given below.

Thank you.

Yes, an ST  student with an 80 percentile in JEE Main Paper 2 (B.Arch) has a strong chance of securing admission to the Bachelor of Architecture program at several National Institutes of Technology (NITs), depending on the specific rank and seat availability.

• Exact Rank Matters : While percentile gives a general idea, admissions are based on All India Ranks (AIR) . An 80 percentile typically corresponds to an AIR that may be within the range of previous years' cutoffs for ST candidates.

• Home State Quota : Some NITs reserve a certain percentage of seats for candidates from the home state. If you are applying to an NIT in your home state, your chances may improve.

• Seat Availability : The number of seats in the B.Arch program varies across NITs, which can influence the cutoff ranks.

• Participate in JoSAA Counseling : Ensure you register for the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) counseling process, where seat allotments are made based on AIR and category.

• List Preferences Wisely : Prioritize NITs based on previous years' cutoff trends, location, and personal preferences.

• Consider Other Institutes : Explore options in other reputed institutes offering B.Arch programs where your rank may be competitive.
