hi,

Yes, you can apply for JEE B.Arch if you have scored 65% in your 12th exams and you belong to the OBC category. For JEE B.Arch, the basic eligibility is that you should have passed 12th with Mathematics as a compulsory subject. The percentage requirement for OBC category is relaxed compared to the general category. Usually, candidates from OBC need at least 65% in their 12th board exams to be eligible. So, with your score and category, you are eligible to apply for JEE B.Arch.

Your JEE Main rank of 1839 (79.44 percentile) in OBC and 5628 in General category can get you possible engineering colleges. In case of B.Arch, you have a rank of 6003.

You may want to look into colleges which have admitted ranks similar to yours in the past years. State level colleges or the private ones may be some of the alternatives.

To have a closer look, you may visit the college predictors or counseling tools, which are offered online. They will facilitate your access to tools that will enable you to estimate your chances of joining particular colleges depending on your rank and preferences.

Hello Aspirant,

If your B.Arch rank is approximately 30,000 in JEE in general category, it might not be easy to get admission into DR-CUET (Delhi Regional Centre of the Central University of Technology) or comparable or significantly better institutions, and therefore, the cut-off is much earlier for general candidates in good reputation colleges at about a range of 5000-15,000 rank. That said, you may still have a chance at newer or even less reputed NITs, SPAs, or GFTIs as an option at JOSAA or CSAB; you are recommended to apply in all rounds of counselling, keep open state-level architecture colleges too, and explore private universities that are accepting NATA or JEE B.Arch scores.

HEY THERE!!!

1. Given a JEE B.Arch rank of approximately 30,000 in the general category, gaining admission to DCRUST for B.Arch is, frankly ,not feasible .
2. The university’s recent cutoffs are far more competitive; for instance, the round 1 cutoff for the general category in 2024 was only 36.
3. Your rank is significantly above this threshold, so admission to DCRUST with your current standing is highly improbable.
4. It would be advisable to explore alternative institutions or consider other academic pathways.

With a JEE B.Arch rank of 30,000, getting admission in DCRUST is not possible because their cutoff ranks are much lower and they mainly consider NATA scores, not JEE Paper 2.

You can try these options instead:

Apply to other colleges accepting NATA scores.

Consider management quota seats in private colleges.

Prepare and appear for NATA exam for better chances.

As of now, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has not publicly released the complete All India Rank (AIR) list for JEE Main 2025 B.Arch (Paper 2A), including the candidate who secured AIR 47. Only the top scorers and state-wise toppers have been officially announced. For instance, Patne Neel Sandesh from Maharashtra achieved a perfect NTA score of 100.0000000, securing the top position in B.Arch.

To find out the name of the candidate with AIR 47, you may need to wait for the official release of the full rank list or check your individual scorecard if you appeared for the exam.

JEE Main Paper 2 SC rank of 1181 , you have a strong chance of securing admission in some of the top government colleges in India through counseling . Here’s an estimate of the colleges you may get based on previous years' cutoff trends:

Expected NITs & Other Top Govt Colleges (B.Arch)

1. NIT Trichy (National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli) – Likely
