Careers360 Quick Guide to Architecture

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.

Dear candidate ,
To secure admission at PSGIAP ,  you must first clear the NATA exam with at least 70 marks . However , to be truly competitive , especially for general - category seats , aim for a score closer to 120-150 out 200 - which aligns with typical cutoffs seen in similar architecture institutes .

With a JEE Main Paper-2 CRL rank of 3438 and OBC-NCL rank of 949, you have a fair shot at some top architecture colleges.

SPA Vijayawada:
You stand a good chance here. Previous years show OBC-NCL closing ranks around your range, especially in Round 2 or 3. So yes, SPA Vijayawada is possible.

NITs to focus on:

• NIT Hamirpur: Safe. Cutoffs often go well beyond 5000 CRL.

• NIT Raipur / Patna: Possible. Both have closed around 3900–4000 CRL in recent years.

• MANIT Bhopal: Slightly tough but worth trying.

• NIT Rourkela, Calicut, Nagpur: Unlikely. These usually close much earlier.

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!
