Do Architecture Entrance need coaching guidance?

Ever since you thought about becoming an architect, you either joined a coaching class or saw your friends depending on Google to crack JEE Paper 2 or NATA. You were told by experts that coaching is the solution to making your way into an architecture career. There are several students who have left their homes and took a hostel or small rooms and their only schedule consists of coaching classes. Did you stop and wonder whether you can top or crack an architecture entrance exam without a coaching?

To answer this, you will have to be 100% honest with yourself. Let us start with a few questions.

  1. Are you in class 11 or 12 or a dropper?

A dropper, or in other words one who completed class 12 last year or before that, and is solely preparing for architecture entrance exam, is advised to join a coaching class. The main reason behind this is to improve morale strength, get quick revision, be able to understand tough sections (the ones in which you face problems) from a good teacher at coaching and to get a reality check about your preparation for architecture entrance.

If you are in class 11, then you will really have to think. A lot depends on how much efforts you are ready to put into architecture entrance exam preparations (which are among the toughest exams) from DAY 1. Joining a good coaching class which guides you in the right direction, and helps you understand the topics being taught in architecture, will straight away help. However, it is not a do or die situation straight away to join a coaching class. You can take a few days to look into the study material and see whether you need help or not and decide.

If you are in class 12, then you are already in a good position to decide. Ask yourself this question:

 2. How well you know about architecture entrance examination or its exam syllabus?

Architecture entrance exams syllabus is not only wide but somehow not being touched throughout out our daily lives. Both of the entrance exams will ask you about basic of architecture but still if you do not have that vision or particular knowledge about architecture it might be an alarming situation. It is a much-debated topic on why a student at all needs coaching for architecture entrance exam when several materials are available online or its bit easy to crack architecture entrance respective to engineering or medical entrances.

Out of 3 sections in an entrance exam, drawing and architecture aptitude is somehow most score able yet need to get trained subject, which somehow, you’ll be getting from coaching only.  However, all that matters for the student is to analyse whether or not he or she needs extra help to understand any topic or subject.

  1. How well did you perform in class 12?

If you did excellently (read extremely above average), then you are already in the right direction. With the help of right study material, solving of mock tests, you are good to go. You may refer to coaching classes study material for extra practice!

On the other hand, if you think that you left a big scope for improvement in your performance and in critical thinking, then maybe you should join a JEE Paper 2 preparation or a NATA preparation coaching.

4. Are you good at time management?

It is a tough question to ask an architecture aspirant. You are young and have hardly been introduced to the concept of time management, there have been people older and in positions of immense responsibility who have shuddered at the thought of having to manage time with numerous tasks at hand. Still, this question is important.

When you join a coaching class for architecture entrance exam preparation, you commit at least 5-6 hours to it; this includes usual 3-4 hours of classes, 1 hour of travel and 1 hour to recover from travel fatigue. In the case of many, if the coaching centre is far away then a larger portion time is wasted in travel. Those who take weekend classes, spend almost the entire day there for two days a week. Like all other entrance examinations, architecture entrance too is of 3 hours but questions asked in the exams are lot lengthy and being tough to solve in the given time limit. Good Coaching will definitely help you to come out of this fear and will not prepare you for exam but will also help you to learn the techniques of time management during the pressure and stress of exam.

For any entrance exam, apart from right coaching self-studies are critical. You need to devote at least 3-4 hours every day for that. So, can you manage time for coaching, school, and self-studies? If yes, only then must you join a coaching centre.

Apart from the above points, there are several other factors too. It is up to you to decide whether or not to join a coaching class. Make sure that you follow some smart exams techniques so that you come out with flying colours.

To answer the question we started with, YES, you can top architecture entrance exam without coaching but by joining the right coaching your chances to top architecture entrance will boost definitely. If you understand the topics and have an acumen for solving problems, then you will race ahead to the top with or without coaching.

For the first time in 20 years, all candidates taking the JEE will face less number of questions in physics, chemistry, mathematics as well as engineering drawing (for architecture aspirants). JEE is the entrance exam for all centrally funded technical institutes and colleges. It is also the eligibility exam for IIT JEE.

For the Bachelor of Planning course, only students who had physics, chemistry and mathematics in Class XII were so far eligible. Now, the criteria have been narrowed down to just mathematics in Class XII. Also, those seeking to enter the stream will not need to take the drawing test, which will be only for architecture aspirants.

Registration for JEE (Main) to begin from today

These changes were approved by the ministry of human resource development on Monday. The registration for JEE (Main) will commence from Tuesday. For the first time in 15 years of JEE, the number of questions have been reduced and the question typology changed. Earlier, engineering (BE/BTech) aspirants used to appear for three papers — mathematics, physics and chemistry — each comprising 30 multiple choice questions. From now on, each paper will have 25 questions. Of these, 20 will be MCQs and five “questions with answers as numerical value, with equal weightage to mathematics, physics and chemistry”.

For BArch, the mathematics paper will comprise 25 questions, with 20 MCQs and five objective-type. Questions in the drawing paper have been reduced from three to two. There will be an aptitude test of 50 marks in the MCQ format.

Mathematics and aptitude papers will remain common to B Planning and BArch aspirants. However, unlike previous years, there will be no drawing paper for B Planning aspirants and candidates instead will have to take a paper of 25 MCQs on planning.

“There are a number of changes introduced by the National Testing Agency for the JEE (main) to be held in January and April 2020. The details will be uploaded on Tuesday on the official website of NTA,” said Vineet Joshi, director-general, NTA. The first edition of JEE (Main) 2020 will be conducted from January 6 to January 11 and the second JEE (Main) will be held from April 3 to April 9. Registration for the January exam starts on Tuesday.

Dear Aspirant,

Firstly, congratulations for succesfully cracking NATA and JEE exams and thank you for choosing us to answer your doubts.

NATA exam is considered to be one of the toughest exam because of its uncertainty in the questions. On the other hand JEE paper 2 is full of technical reasonings.

In JEE paper 2, every year 2+ lacs students apply but there are only around 940 seats in total, so you can understand how big is competition. The rank you have achived is good but certainly it is hard to acquire seat. We recommend you to fill centralised seat allocation i.e. known as JOSSA organised by CBSE and try, complete list of colleges through JEE is attached.

Your NATA score is fine enough to be in any architecture college but to be on sure site you should have scored more than 130. Anyway, there are 350+ institutes both government and private who accept NATA score for admission in Bachelor of Architecture. NATA exam and score is most crucial thing because according to COA i.e. Council of Architecture govern by Govt. of India no college can accept admission without successful NATA score. Colleges in NATA have their own process of admission, there is nothing as centralised counseling. You need to apply based on their admission process in colleges you wish. Complete list of colleges through NATA exam.The scores you will get from these tests will tell you something, but they will not tell you everything.

These tests do not define you. There are many ways of being smart and successful ahead.

We hope that we have answered all your questions, if there is anything else please don’t hesitate to contact us further.

All the very best for your successful future ahead.
