Hello,

Since you’ve scored 41% marks in your Madhyamik examination under the West Bengal Board, your chances of getting admission into a Diploma in Architecture course might be slightly limited. Most polytechnic institutions in West Bengal offering diploma courses, including Architecture, require candidates to qualify the JEXPO entrance exam and also expect a minimum percentage (often around 35% to 50%) in Class 10 with Mathematics, Physical Science, and English. Since you’ve passed Madhyamik, you do meet the basic eligibility to appear for JEXPO, and if you can perform well in the entrance exam, you could still secure a seat in a diploma college.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, you can apply for a diploma in architecture in West Bengal with 41% in the Madhyamik exam of the West Bengal Board.

Madhyamik Pass with an overall of 35% is required for the diploma entrance examination, JEXPO entrance Exam. For the architecture Diploma, you need to ensure that you have mathematics and Science in your Madhyamik.

If you clear the Entrance exam, then you need to take part in the counselling. There, you have government and private colleges based on your merit ranks, you can get into the college.

Wishing you all the best for your future endeavors. Thank you!

Hi Anushka,

hi,

Since you appeared only for JEE Main Paper 2 B-Planning and did not appear for the B-Architecture paper, you won't be eligible for admission to B-Architecture courses. The architecture seats require you to appear and qualify in the B-Architecture paper specifically.

If a college offers both B-Architecture and B-Planning, your rank in the Planning paper can help you get a seat only in the B-Planning course, not in Architecture.

For OBC category (non-creamy layer) candidates seeking admission to government medical colleges across India (All India Quota + State Quotas) , the NEET 2025 cutoff marks will depend on the college, state, and reservation policies . Below is a pan-India estimated cutoff range for OBC-NCL candidates based on previous years' trends:

Next Steps

1. Aim for 600+ marks to secure AIIMS/JIPMER/AFMC or top state colleges .

2. 550-600 marks → Good state govt colleges (Maharashtra, Karnataka, TN).

3. 500-550 marks → Govt colleges in less competitive states (UP, Bihar, MP).

4. Check previous cutoffs.

With a NATA score of 105 and 98.3 percentile in JEE Paper 2, you have excellent chances of getting admission in good architecture colleges in India.

Make sure to complete the counseling process on time and keep your documents ready. Your scores give you a strong edge!

Yes, an ST  student with an 80 percentile in JEE Main Paper 2 (B.Arch) has a strong chance of securing admission to the Bachelor of Architecture program at several National Institutes of Technology (NITs), depending on the specific rank and seat availability.

• Exact Rank Matters : While percentile gives a general idea, admissions are based on All India Ranks (AIR) . An 80 percentile typically corresponds to an AIR that may be within the range of previous years' cutoffs for ST candidates.

• Home State Quota : Some NITs reserve a certain percentage of seats for candidates from the home state. If you are applying to an NIT in your home state, your chances may improve.

• Seat Availability : The number of seats in the B.Arch program varies across NITs, which can influence the cutoff ranks.

• Participate in JoSAA Counseling : Ensure you register for the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) counseling process, where seat allotments are made based on AIR and category.

• List Preferences Wisely : Prioritize NITs based on previous years' cutoff trends, location, and personal preferences.

• Consider Other Institutes : Explore options in other reputed institutes offering B.Arch programs where your rank may be competitive.
