QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Let's make
things clear.

Practical answers for students and parents planning architecture entrance preparation.

Ask an AICT counselor ↗
Are NATA and JEE Main B. ARCH the same?

No. NATA is conducted by the Council of Architecture. JEE Main Paper 2A is conducted by the National Testing Agency. Their assessment and admission routes differ. Check the exams accepted by your target colleges. Compare the pathways.

Which program should I consider after Std. 10?

If you are entering Std. 11 and need PCM coaching alongside entrance preparation, explore the Prakhar Foundation Program. If your academic coaching is handled separately, explore the Prakhar Focus Program for entrance preparation. A counselor can help compare the workload and schedule.

Do I need to be good at drawing before joining?

Drawing improves through observation, instruction and regular practice. You can discuss your present level with the faculty and work on proportion, perspective, composition and visual thinking. Preparation also includes aptitude and mathematics.

Can I prepare for both entrance exams?

AICT's preparation programs cover NATA and JEE Main B. ARCH. Your study plan should address the requirements of each exam. Your academic eligibility and target college requirements should be checked separately.

Are classroom and online options available?

Explore the existing Classroom Coaching and Live Online Program pages. Confirm the current learning mode, batch timing and availability for your chosen program with AICT.

Where can I check fees, batch timings and eligibility?

Speak to AICT for current program fees, schedules and available batches. For exam and B. ARCH admission eligibility, use the current official bulletins and the relevant counseling authority. NATA official website · JEE Main official website.
