In case you don't get your desired college in your desired state, don't settle for some mediocre college. Instead of settling down for some mediocre college, it would be better if your try for some good private university. Many reputed private universities are offering B.Arch. They have their different criteria for admissions. Some offer admission on basis of JEE scores, some offer admission on basis of NATA and some offer admission on the basis of both. Some even offer direct admission...more -
Well, first of all, you scored 240 in JEE (paper 2) which is very good. Then, you have a state quota and an OBC quota. So, you will surely get the college. All the best. -
Yes, you can. There is a plus point that you have and that is state quota in which you can easily get any of the branches there. -

7 years agoIt depends on the branch you are referring to pursue. NIT, Trichy is the best NIT. Your chances are less in it as compared to NIT, Calicut. -
Hello,
Hope you are doing well. Yes, definitely, you can get NIT-Trichy as well as NIT-Calicut in B.Arch. The cut-off for the home state in NIT-Calicut is between 390 to 514 and for NIT-Trichy, the cut-off rank in home state is between 618 to 693. The JEE Paper 2 rank satisfies the eligibility of both the NITs so you will easily get these colleges.
