How to Join Architecture

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.
