Hello,

For passing the JEE Main Paper 2A (for B.Arch), there is no fixed "pass mark" as the exam doesn't have a minimum passing score. Instead, qualifying for admission depends on the NTA percentile score and the cutoff rank set by participating colleges and institutes.

Important Points:

• Marking Scheme: Usually, the JEE Main Paper 2A carries 400 marks (Mathematics: 100, Aptitude: 200, and Drawing: 100).

Passin g Criteria:

• The candidate should have a percentile score of above 70–80% to get admission in NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs.
• The Percentile / Rank will depend upon the colleges offered in SPA Delhi, NIT Trichy, etc.

Minimum Qualifying Percentile: Although 50% aggregate in PCM in Class 12 is a must, general candidates must have obtained the minimum qualifying percentile in JEE Main Paper 2A.

Percentage Relaxation: The following relaxation will be given while considering the percentiles for the respective reserved categories.

For an improvement, try scoring a rank that falls in the top 15,000 ranks nationwide for good architecture colleges. For more about recent cutoff trends, visit NTA JEE Main Portal or Careers360 JEE Guide .
