Hii,

Use these simple steps to apply for admission to architecture school: First, earn at least 50% in science (math, physics, and chemistry) when you graduate from the 12th grade. Next, sit for an entrance exam such as JEE Main Paper 2 or NATA. Verify your eligibility on the exam website, then apply online by completing the application and paying the required amount. Upload marksheets and other documents.

Apply to colleges using your exam results after passing it. If necessary, go to interviews or counseling. For more information, visit college websites.

After a B.Sc. in Science, you generally cannot directly pursue a Master's in Architecture (M.Arch) or Civil Engineering (M.Tech/M.E.), because:

1. M.Arch (Master of Architecture)

Eligibility: Usually requires a B.Arch (Bachelor of Architecture) degree.

Why not B.Sc.? Architecture is a professional course with design, planning, and structural elements not covered in B.Sc. Science.

2. M.Tech/M.E. in Civil Engineering

Eligibility: Typically requires a B.E./B.Tech in Civil Engineering or a closely related field.

Why not B.Sc.? Civil Engineering involves technical and engineering subjects not included in a B.Sc. Science curriculum.

With 46% marks in your 12th board exams , it might be challenging to secure admission to engineering or architecture colleges , as most institutions have minimum eligibility criteria of 50% to 60% in aggregate marks for admission.

However, there are still options you can consider:

1. State-Level or Private Colleges

• Some state government or private colleges may have relaxed eligibility criteria or offer admission through entrance exams rather than relying heavily on board marks.

• Engineering Colleges : Certain colleges may still consider your entrance exam performance (like JEE, state entrance exams) over your 12th marks.

• Architecture Colleges : For architecture, the most important exam is the NATA (National Aptitude Test in Architecture). Some colleges may admit students based on NATA scores, even if their 12th marks are lower.

2. Special Relaxations or Quotas

• If you belong to a reserved category (SC/ST/OBC) or have a home state quota , certain colleges might offer relaxed cutoffs for admission.

3. Private Universities

• Many private universities may have internal entrance exams and could offer admission based on your performance in those exams, even if your 12th marks are low.

Universities like VIT , Shiv Nadar University , UPES , etc., may be worth exploring.

4. Consider Improving Your Marks (if Possible)

• If you're still in your final year or considering a retake, improving your 12th marks or taking an additional year to enhance your academic profile could also be an option.

5. Other Pathways

• You can look into diploma courses (engineering or architecture) which can later lead to lateral entry into a full degree course after a year or two.

It’s important to look for colleges that consider entrance exams more seriously than board exam marks. If you have already appeared for any engineering or architecture entrance exams, your chances of securing a seat would largely depend on your performance there.

If you're looking for B.Tech colleges that offer:

• Good and supportive faculty

• Positive and student-friendly environment

• Beautiful architecture and modern infrastructure

Here are some good private and deemed universities in India that match your expectations:

Top Private Universities with Good Environment & Faculty:

• VIT University (Vellore, Bhopal, Chennai)

Known for top-class campus, placements, and infrastructure.

1. SRM Institute of Science & Technology (Chennai, NCR)

Modern campus, good faculty, and strong placement support.

• Lovely Professional University (LPU), Punjab

Huge campus, good infrastructure, active student life.

• Amity University (Noida, Jaipur, Mumbai)

Good architecture, decent faculty, and good for overall development.

• Shiv Nadar University, Greater Noida

Excellent faculty, campus life, and academic standards.

• Ashoka University (for CS + Liberal Arts)

• Parul University (Vadodara, Gujarat)

Vibrant campus, multicultural environment, supportive faculty.

• Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT), Manipal

Beautiful campus, strong alumni network, excellent infrastructure.

What You Should Do:

• Check if these universities offer admission based on Class 12th marks or low JEE scores .

• Apply early for direct admission or management quota seats if your JEE rank is not high.

• Visit campuses (if possible) to get a feel for the environment and talk to current students.

Hii,

IIIT Bangalore does not offer a Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) program. It specializes in IT and related fields, offering B.Tech programs like Computer Science, Electronics, and Data Science. If you're looking for architecture courses in Bangalore, institutions like RV College of Architecture, BMS College of Architecture, and MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology offer B.Arch programs. Admissions typically require NATA or JEE Main Paper 2 scores
