    JEE Mains Paper 2 can get you better B.Arch Colleges than NATA. There is a total of 1.5 lakh candidates who appear in this exam. Also NITs and GFTIs are great place to study.

Yes, you can apply for NATA without completing Class 12, provided you are appearing for the Class 12 board exams (or 10+3 Diploma final exams) in the same academic year.

Eligibility Clarification:
Candidates appearing for the 10+2 exam with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics
OR

Candidates appearing for the 10+3 Diploma exam with Mathematics as a subject are eligible to apply for NATA provisionally.
However, you must pass the qualifying exam with the required subjects and marks before admission to a B.Arch. course.
