Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Council with the approval of the CoA has relaxed the eligibility for admission to the first year of five-year BArch degree courses. Following the trend of JEE Main and JEE Advanced — the entrance exams for NITs and IITs — the Council of Architecture (CoA) has relaxed the minimum requirement from Board exams for admission to architecture courses as well. Earlier, students had to score at least 50 per cent marks aggregate marks in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, however, now no minimum marks criteria are put for admissions to the five-year BArch courses. Students who have passed class 12 level of education with physics, chemistry, and mathematics as compulsory subjects will be eligible for BArch admissions based on their NATA score.
