Hi srikanth,
JEE Mains:
- Exam conducted by CBSE Board,
- Admission to IITs ,NITs and Centrally Funded Institutes.
NATA :
- conducted by National Institute of Advanced studies in Architecture(NIASA)
- you can get admissions to all the B.Arch colleges except IITs,NITs
It is better if you prepare and apply for both the exams. Based on the score you get ,you can select the best college.
Hope this helps you.
Good Luck!!
Both JEE Mains paper 2 and NATA are good entrances for admission to Architecture course.
The JEE Main Paper provides admission in NITs and GFTIs whereas NATA provides admission in architecture colleges other than NITs, GFTIs. Many top architecture colleges give admission on the basis of NATA score only. It is widely accepted in various colleges.
The JEE Mains paper is apparently tougher.
Both the exams are good.
You can take both the entrances too. But if you have to choose between to two, then your choice should be based on your preference of admission into colleges.
Best of luck
