Hello Jahnavi,

According to last year trend for general category it was around 180 but minimum 165 (boards percentage + half of nata score ) to get admission into JJ College of Architecture. Say ,If your boards percentage  is 90% then you need to score around 170/200 in NATA , then your main score will be (90+170/2)=175.. And 175 would be a decent score to get admission into JJ College of Architecture.

For targetting JNAFAU also you should be having more than 75 merit marks.

Merit marks is calculated :- (half of NATA score + boards percentage)/2. i.e. if you have 160 marks in NATA and 90%in boards then your merit score will be - (160/2+90)/2 = 85 out of 100. It will be a decent score to get into these colleges.

Thank you.
