Asked about LPU - Lovely Professional University - Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.)

LPU intake students on the basis of NATA score. You need a 80-200 score in NATA as eligibility to enter LPU for B.Arch. So, will have to look for other NIT's or there are other colleges that consider JEE score for admissions.
BITS, Mesra Ranchi
School of Planning and Architecture, Bhopal
School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi
These are some reputed colleges that provide B.Arch.
If you are very specific for LPU then you will have to sit for NATA and score 80-200 marks in it. -

Strengthen speed and accuracy in problem-solving
Use reference books (like R.D. Sharma or Arihant) if you want extra practice

- Famous architects (like Le Corbusier, B.V. Doshi, Zaha Hadid, etc.)
- Well-known monuments and buildings in India and abroad
- Basic architectural terms (e.g., façade, elevation, plan, symmetry)

- Reading about important structures and landmarks
- Learning about basic design principles (proportion, balance, perspecti
