Hello

B.Tech in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering at IMU Chennai is a solid choice, especially for those aiming for a maritime career. The university offers good infrastructure, decent placements, and industry exposure. However, if you're looking for the best in India, consider IIT Madras, IIT Kharagpur, or CUSAT in Kochi. These colleges have stronger research, faculty, and global recognition. Choose based on your career goal.

Hello Hasini,

I understand your frustration regarding the delay in the AP B.Arch counselling process. As of today, September 20, 2025, the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) has not yet released the official schedule for the AP B.Arch 2025 counselling. However, based on previous years' timelines, here's an estimated schedule:

  • Registration & Document Verification : Expected to commence in October 2025 .

  • Web Options Entry : Likely to begin in October 2025 .

  • Seat Allotment Results : Anticipated in November 2025 .

  • Reporting to Allotted Colleges : Expected in November 2025 .

  • Commencement of Classes : Likely to start in December 2025 .

Please note that these dates are based on previous years and are subject to change. I recommend regularly checking the official APSCHE website for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

With a GMR 41869 and OBC-B rank 3689, admission to Architecture at Jadavpur University is quite difficult. JU cutoffs for B.Arch are usually very high, often closing within a few thousand ranks overall, and most seats go to top rankers. As for fees, JU is a government university, so it’s very affordable—around 2,500–5,000 per year, much cheaper than private colleges. You may get Architecture in some private or state colleges, but chances at JU with your rank are very low.

Hii

Here's the information about Architecture course:
- Eligibility criteria: Qualification completed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics as compulsory subjects with minimum 50% marks. Age limit is minimum 17 and upper age limit is generally not fixed, that varies by college.

- Entrance Exam: NATA & JEE Mains are both main national level entrance exam that are expected by most of colleges for admission. There are some State exam like MHT-CET, UPSEE and many more that are also accepted by colleges.

- Fee Structure: for government colleges its between 1,00,000 to 2,50,000 per year & for private colleges it's between 3,00,000 to 10,00,000. Fees can also vary based on college, state, facilities, and even quota

For architecture courses, you generally need to complete 10+2 with Maths as a compulsory subject. The main entrance exams are JEE Main Paper 2 and NATA (National Aptitude Test in Architecture), and you need to clear either of these for admission. Some private colleges also have their own entrance exams. The total fees usually range between 5 to 15 lakhs for the full 5-year course, depending on the college. It’s best to check the specific college website for exact eligibility and fee details.

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.
