i didnt get it @kunal

See,
JEE= Joint Entrance Exam
Means it's a single exam conducted by CBSE for admissions in Engg Colleges across country and had specifically 3 subjects-
Physics
Chemistry
Mathematics

Now if you study 10+2 in CBSE board then it is mandatory(I mean most schools will direct you)you to give JEE Mains(only),NEET(Medical),Paper 2(BArch),etc.

For BArch admissions,
Universities,Colleges consider
Overall Merit in boards
Mathematics score in boards
NATA score
& JEE mains Mathematics score(optional:Some colleges may not consider but it is good if you appear)

Now JEE Mains have an advantage that if you clear it ,you can appear for JEE Advanced to try your luck in IITs

Again with JEE mains can give you direct admissions in NITs and State Engg. Colleges(20% reservation,depends Statewise )
On such merit.

Again JEE mains paper 1(PCM) and paper 2(BArch) are back to back.

Finally,I would like to tell you that always appear for JEE mains with paper 2.

See this info on JEE site-
"Admission criteria to Undergraduate Engineering Programs at NITs, IIITs, Other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions, Institutions funded by participating State Governments, and other Institutions shall include the performance in the class 12/equivalent qualifying Examination and in the Joint Entrance Examination, JEE (Main). The Paper-1 (B. E./B. Tech.) of JEE (Main) will also be an eligibility test for the JEE (Advanced), which the candidate has to take if he/she is aspiring for admission to the undergraduate programmes offered by the IITs.
The States of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Nagaland and Odisha have joined JEE (Main) system. Therefore, the candidates seeking admission to the institutions in these states, which were earlier admitting based on their State Level Examination, are also advised to fill in the JEE (Main) - 2014 application form online."

As far as I know BArch is 5 yrs in Maharashtra,don't know about other states!

Ya it's tough.You have daily submissions right from 1st year.

5 years in WB too.
And daily submissions of drawing is not easy cos drawing consume too much time.
BTW,I give up for B.Arch in future cos cracking JEE not possible for me.
I will complete my 10+3 D.Arch and will look for work.

In Architecture you need to choose among 4 branches-
Sustainable Architecture(SA)
Digital Architecture(DA)
Interior design(ID)
Construction Management(CM)

Tougher-SA>CM>DA>ID
(ID have least submissions)

So if you opt for SA you have more submissions as compared to ID
ID have only 1 sheet per week.

So BArch is way better than Diploma.
Get DA(5 yrs)+PG(2 yrs) in product design,you get direct jobs in Leading Companies like Apple,Nokia,Samsung,etc.

DA is mainly computer based from 2nd year!

Thanks for the detail.
Yes,absolutely without any double B.Arch way better that D.Arch.
Sadly,JEE not possible for me . :(

So,JEE question is not the same for B.Arch.
For other engineering except B.Arch are Physics,Chemistry and Mathematics.
And B.Arch Aptitude Test only for those who want to be an Architect ?
And also have to go for NATA ?
I was thinking wrong.
Thought same JEE question for all engineering steam/trade except Medical.

Paper 1 only for Engg colleges!
Paper 2 only for BArch colleges!

Some Arch colleges ask Paper 1 Maths marks!So attempt both!!!!!!!

NATA for all BArch Colleges!
Note NATA is the imperial architectural exam!

If you study for NATA,you can easily attempt Paper 2!

Basically if you have nice merits on Paper 2 you can avail admissions in abroad colleges!(Basically a SAT for abroad colleges!)

Summarising it
BArch College Entrance requirements:
10+2 BOARDS+NATA+PAPER2+PAPER1 Maths(Optional)

{Some College may just consider 10+2 & NATA scores e.g. Sihagad College,Pune

JJ,Rachna,CEPT,SPA purely consider Boards+NATA(some may ask Paper 2 +Paper 1 maths}

From 11 get nice NATA coaching.Find a good NATA entrance tutor!

All the best

A single tutor will be be enough for NATA ?
Or one for Math,one for Engineering Drawing and one for Fine Arts or Sketching ?
