3. A large number of students are under the impression that since
they have given the architecture entrance exam (JEE) conducted
by CBSE, they would get admission on the basis of this exam. As
a matter of fact very few colleges accept the score of JEE. Most of
the self financing and other architecture colleges and schools in
India accept only NATA score. Unless and until you clear NATA
exam you cannot get admission in these colleges.

6. ARCHITECTURE

7. Why architecture after +2?
Architects are the first self employed entrepreneurs in
the world. If you are the kind who does not like to
take orders to be successful, this is the best profession
for you.
If you are A non- science student but has studied
math in 10+2 and wants to become A professional,
join architecture. Why be A simple graduate when this
option is available?
If you have great artistic abilities but do not want to
pursue A simple fine arts degree, architecture is the
right career for you to showcase your artistic talent
and also learn A technical degree.

8. Why architecture after +2?
All great building, cities and spaces are the brainchild
of an architect who directs the other technical persons
involved to realize his dreams. So, why not join
architecture and lead a team of professionals?
Real estate sectors growth rate is estimated to be more
than average among all other sectors by 2016 which
means joining this sector offers maximum potential; in
terms of future growth and monetary returns and
being an architect who is at the helm of all affairs in
the sector, will be your best bet.

9. Why architecture after +2?
Being an architect, makes it possible for you to
specialize in many trades, like interiors, construction,
landscape, medical architecture, recreational
architecture, sustainable architecture, town planning,
urban design, urban and rural planning, building
services all in vogue today. Unlike other engineering
professions where you cannot switch from one to
another career with ease.
Architecture is the ultimate glorious and powerful
profession as it is the creator’s profession. All other
professions have to fit themselves in the spaces
architects create.
