Admission Process

The admission process for B.Arch. programs in Karnataka is a blend of merit and entrance-based criteria. To be eligible, candidates must pass their 10+2 with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (45% for reserved categories) and qualify in an aptitude test like NATA or JEE Main (Paper 2). The final merit list is often calculated by giving equal weightage to your qualifying exam marks and your aptitude test score.

Admission to the B.Arch. program is a 5-year undergraduate course. It is highly competitive and is based on a combination of qualifying exam marks and a valid score in an aptitude test.

  • Merit Calculation: The final merit list for Karnataka B.Arch. admissions is typically calculated by giving 50% weightage to your 10+2 marks and 50% to your NATA/JEE Main score.
