Hello

Spot counselling for B.Arch admissions in Andhra Pradesh is usually held after the regular counselling rounds to fill vacant seats. As of now, the official dates for 2025 haven't been announced. You should regularly check the APSCHE or official counselling portal for updates. Spot counselling is open to eligible candidates, even those who didn’t register earlier. Stay ready with your documents and NATA score to participate.

With a state merit rank of 1182, your chances for B.N. College of Architecture (BNCA), Pune are quite good, since BNCA usually closes admission for general category around 2000–2200 ranks in state merit through CAP rounds. If you belong to a reserved category, your chances are even stronger. However, competition is higher for the aided division, so you may get a seat in the unaided (self-financed) division more easily.

good afternoon. yes, KCET does release a separate rank list for architecture aspirants, but it's not based on KCET exam scores. Instead, your architecture rank is determined by your NATA score (National Aptitude Test in Architecture) and qualifying marks in 12th standard.

here's how Architecture Rank Is Calculated

50% weightage from your NATA score

50% weightage from your Class 12 (or equivalent) marks

KCET itself does not conduct a separate architecture entrance te

to Find Your Architecture Rank

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) publishes a separate rank list for B.Arch candidates on its official website: KEA Portal https://cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/kea

This list is released after NATA results are declared and verified.

Yep, KEA/KCET does publish a separate rank list for architecture aspirants, but it’s not based on your KCET score. Instead, they calculate an architecture rank using a mix of your NATA score (50%) and your Class 12 marks (50%)—nothing to do with the CET exam. That ranking is then used strictly for B.Arch admissions. So don’t expect your KCET rank to apply if you’re targeting architecture.

Hello!

So between NMIMS Mumbai or DY Patil school of architecture NMIMS is better as it has modern campus and has good placement records But if you are looking for slightly more affordable option than DY Patil is also good for you.

4. Aditya College of Architecture



Hi Sumona,

Thank you for reaching out!

Yes, female students are allowed in architecture institutes in India . There are no gender-based restrictions for admission to architecture courses, such as the B.Arch or M.Arch, in India. More than 47% of students enrolled are female students.
Admission is completely based on merit, through entrance exams like the National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA) or JEE Main Paper 2, requiring a minimum of 50% in 10+2 with Mathematics (45% for reserved categories) or a 10+3 diploma.

If your KCET rank is 101798 and you belong to category 2AR and you want to take admission in computer science or electronics or information science or artificial intelligence then it is very difficult to get seat in top colleges because in good colleges like RV or BMS or PES or NIT or IIIT the cut off rank for CS or EC or IS or AI is very low like 1000 or 20000 or 30000 and your rank is very high so you cannot get those colleges and branches but still you do not need to worry because there are many other private colleges and small colleges where the cut off goes above 90000 or even 100000 so you can get some seat in small colleges or low demand branches if you really want CS or AI then you can try in small private colleges but placements may not be very good there if you are okay with other branches like civil mechanical or electrical then your chance becomes better because those branches have higher cut off ranks and you can easily get seat in those you should take part in counselling and fill all options from good to average colleges so if any seat is available you will get it also you can wait for second round or casual round and some seats may become free also you can try management quota in private colleges if you want to pay extra fees or you can give other exams like COMEDK if you want more options if you still want good CS or AI branch and not happy with current options then you can prepare again and give KCET next year with more practice and get better rank but for now you should try with this rank and choose carefully your branch and college and talk to parents before deciding remember every college is not same so you should check if the college has good teachers clean campus and nice labs before going for admission also some colleges offer scholarships and hostel so check that too so even with this rank you can study and do well in life if you work hard and keep learning.


Yes, based on her AIR of 3424 in General and 970 in OBC category in JEE Main Paper 2 (B.Arch), your daughter has a good chance of getting admission in Architecture to MNIT Jaipur under the OBC category. In previous years, the closing ranks for OBC category at MNIT Jaipur for B.Arch have gone to around1500-1600, so a rank of 970 is comfortably at the lower part of that bracket. However, the final allotment will depend on yearly cutoffs, matrix of the seats and choices filled for JoSAA counseling. Check here for more information: MNIT jaipur
