Architecture Entrance Exam

NATA eligibility criteria 2017:
1. Candidates passed/appearing in 10+2 or equivalent exam from a recognised board with mathematics as one of the subjects (with 50% marks) is eligible to appear in NATA 2017.
2. The candidates passed/appearing in 10+3 Diploma with 50% marks (mathematics as one of the subjects) recognised by any state/central government can also apply.
I would suggest you to go for 11th, 12th and science PCM as it will take less time to become eligible for NATA. It will also open other options for you.

Your NATA score is really good. Selections for B.Arch degree is from NATA score and HSC boards score your merit marks will be around 112. If you would tell me in which state you are looking for then I will able to help you more.
My suggestion is that making a list of Maharashtra Architecture colleges because Maharashtra is the only state which has a better B.Arch course from others so take a look on that.
All the best for your bright future.
Good luck!

First of all my advice to you is don't drop out because drop is not a solution at all. You've scored very well in NATA and even in boards also.
Apply for top colleges who know your luck shines and you get admitted in the top college of architecture.
Apply for top colleges first and then go for average.
All the best for your bright future.
Good luck!

If you are interested in architecture then you have to face at least NATA and JEE Mains paper-2 for India's top colleges.
Otherwise, you can fight for state architecture exam for respective states.
This is all about Bachelor's degree.
And, if you want to pursue a Diploma degree in architecture then you will have to score well in class 10th because Diploma degree (Polytechnic) admissions are based on class 10th marks and entrance exams.
Yes, you can pursue a Diploma degree through NATA.
All the best for your bright future.
Good luck!
