Dear Mohit,
It is not mandatory to attend both paper 1 and 2, it is upto the choice of student to attempt both the papers. Paper 1 would be for getting admission for B.Techand Paper 2 would be getting admission into B.Arch.
All the best
No, there is no such criteria that student has to attend both the exams as it totally depends on the student as what all exams he/she wants to give. Also, if you want to get admission in B.Tech/B.E then you can choose paper 1 only but if you are interested in B.Arch along with B.Tech then you can go for both the exams.
Hope this helps!!!

No, it is not compulsory to attempt both papers. If you are interested in B.tech then you have to go for paper 1 and if you are interested in B.arch then you have to appear for paper 2.
All the Best!!
