Architecture Aptitude Test (AAT) is for the candidates who qualify JEE Advanced and wish to take admission in the B. Arch. program offered by IIT Kharagpur and IIT Roorkee only. Note that the admission in B.Arch courses is not as per AAT rank or score, it is based on JEE Advanced AIR. However, passing AAT is mandatory for being considered for B.Arch seat allotment. To appear in AAT candidates need to register separately after JEE Advanced 2020 Result. This exam is also held at a national level to appear in which the candidates have to use their JEE Advanced 2020 Admit Card.

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.


Dear Aspirant,
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.
