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.
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.
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.
