Admission:

To get into B.Arch, one has to complete the 12th with the Maharashtra board and score at least 50% in the 12th board, then he/she should clear the NATA exam and must qualify for the exam. At my time the cut-off at the college was 112 or SMTG but now it may be more for getting admission B.Arch degree.

Admission:

Students need to give NATA and JEE paper 2 for the same and apply for admission through the college website/ Instagram, most likely to get admission based on the cut-off of the year. The college allows refund in case admission needs to be withdrawn without any hassle. The college campus where admission happens is also very accessible and the process isn't time-consuming. The college also provided a college tour before admission.
