Hi Aspirant,

The Admission process in JNAFAU (Jawaharlal Nehru Architecture and Fine Arts University is done via two exams - NATA/JEE Mains. The minimum score to get admission in this university is 140 In NATA exam from previous year cut off. For Merit score your Percentage marks of 12+ is required too.  Basically the merit score is combination of your marks in NATA and percentage marks in 12+ divided by 2.

As you scored 72 marks in NATA exam and 94 percentage in Class 12, The merit score goes like ,

72/2+94  = 130 .

The minimum Qualifying marks are 70/200, You have just qualified for NATA exam.

I suggest you to apply for phase two exam. As NATA is conducted twice a year. So prepare well and get 140+ score next time, To get admission in JNAFAU. Hope this information helps you. All the best for your career.

Thanks & Good luck!..

Hello Aspirant ,

NATA ( National aptitude test in Architecture ) is a test conducted for students who are interested in pursuing architecture as their career, various premier architecture  Institutes including the three SPAs. It is being conducted by the Council of Architecture (CoA) twice a year.

Appearing for both the exams is not mandatory, if you have not written NATA session 1 then also you are eligible to attempt the second session.

The motive of CoA for conducting the exam twice a year is basically to provide a student to improve the score of the first session, the best score is taken on the best of two basis.

So, you can absolutely attempt for session 2.

Hope this was helpful, feel free to ask if you have any doubt.

All the best.
