How to Use the JEE Main Paper 2 College Predictor 2026

The JEE Main B.Arch college predictor 2026 covers all NITs and GFTIs that offer Architecture programmes through JoSAA counselling. B.Arch admission requires your JEE Main Paper 2A (B.Arch) rank — not your Paper 1 (B.Tech) rank. Use this predictor right after your Paper 2A result to instantly see which NIT or GFTI Architecture seat you can get.

  1. 1

    Enter Your JEE Main Paper 2A Rank

    Input your JEE Main 2026 Paper 2A (B.Arch) AIR rank as declared in the result. This predictor matches your rank against JoSAA 2025 opening and closing ranks for Architecture programmes across NITs and GFTIs. Do not use your Paper 1 (B.Tech) rank — B.Arch admissions use a separate rank list.

  2. 2

    Select Category and Home State for Quota-based Predictions

    NITs allocate 50% of B.Arch seats under Home State quota and 50% under Other State quota — HS quota cutoffs are typically lower. GFTIs generally follow All India quota. Select your category (General, EWS, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, or PwD) for complete category-wise results covering both OPEN and reserved seats.

  3. 3

    Enter Category Rank for Reserved Category Seats

    For EWS, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, and PwD candidates, JoSAA counselling uses your category rank — not your AIR — to fill reserved seats. Entering both your AIR and category rank gives complete predictions across OPEN (AIR-based) and reserved category seats so no eligible B.Arch option is missed.

  4. 4

    Use Predictions to Fill JoSAA B.Arch Choices

    The B.Arch college predictor generates a list of NIT and GFTI Architecture programmes with predictions labelled Certain, Likely, Possible, or Unlikely. Use this to build a balanced JoSAA choice list with safe, moderate, and reach options. B.Arch seats are limited — shortlist early and fill strategically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about B.Arch college predictions, Paper 2A ranks, cutoffs, and JoSAA B.Arch counselling process.

1
How accurate is the JEE Main Paper 2 College Predictor?
Our B.Arch college predictor uses real JoSAA cutoff data for Architecture programmes from NITs and GFTIs. Predictions are based on JoSAA 2025 closing ranks for Paper 2A. Actual cutoffs may vary slightly each year based on seat matrix changes and applicant pool. Use it as a planning tool to shortlist colleges before JoSAA choice filling.
2
Which colleges offer B.Arch through JoSAA counselling?
Several NITs and GFTIs offer B.Arch (Bachelor of Architecture) through JoSAA counselling, including NIT Calicut, NIT Hamirpur, NIT Patna, NIT Raipur, NIT Tiruchirappalli, NIT Warangal, School of Planning and Architecture (SPA) Delhi, and others. Admission is based on JEE Main Paper 2A rank.
3
What is the difference between JEE Main Paper 1 and Paper 2A?
JEE Main Paper 1 (B.E/B.Tech) covers Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Paper 2A (B.Arch) covers Mathematics, Aptitude Test, and Drawing Test. Separate ranks are issued for Paper 1 and Paper 2A. You must use your Paper 2A rank for B.Arch college prediction — not your B.Tech rank.
4
Can I use my B.Tech (Paper 1) rank for B.Arch admissions?
No. B.Arch admissions through JoSAA use your JEE Main Paper 2A rank exclusively. Your Paper 1 rank is only for B.E/B.Tech programmes. If you appeared for both papers, you will have two separate ranks and must use the Paper 2A rank for B.Arch college prediction.
5
Is NATA score required for NIT B.Arch admissions?
No. For NITs and GFTIs participating in JoSAA counselling, admission to B.Arch is based entirely on JEE Main Paper 2A rank. NATA (National Aptitude Test in Architecture) is required for private architecture colleges and some state government colleges — not for JoSAA-participating institutes.
6
What JEE Main Paper 2A rank is needed for NIT Calicut B.Arch?
Based on JoSAA 2025 data, NIT Calicut B.Arch (Architecture) closes around rank 150–400 for General (Other State quota). Home State quota cutoffs are typically lower. Category cutoffs vary significantly — OBC-NCL closes around 80–200, SC around 30–80. Use the predictor for a personalised category and quota-wise estimate.
7
What is the home state quota for B.Arch in NITs?
Just like B.Tech programmes, NITs allocate 50% of B.Arch seats under Home State (HS) quota for candidates who completed Class 12 from that state, and 50% under Other State (OS) quota. HS quota cutoffs are typically lower than OS cutoffs, giving home state candidates a significant advantage.
8
How many seats are available for B.Arch in NITs?
B.Arch seat intake is limited compared to B.Tech. Most NITs offering B.Arch have 20–40 seats per year. Due to limited seats, cutoff ranks for B.Arch can be quite competitive in top NITs. GFTIs like SPA Delhi also have a small intake. Use the predictor to see all available B.Arch options based on your rank.
9
When will JoSAA 2026 choice filling open for B.Arch?
JoSAA 2026 registration and choice filling opened in June 2026, shortly after the JEE Advanced result declaration, and the process concluded with the final round on July 16, 2026. JEE Main Paper 2A qualified candidates filled choices for NIT and GFTI B.Arch seats. Use this predictor to shortlist Architecture colleges based on your rank for future reference.
10
Should I prefer NIT Trichy B.Arch or SPA Delhi for Architecture?
Both are excellent institutions. SPA (School of Planning and Architecture) Delhi is a dedicated architecture school with strong industry ties and is often rated among India's top architecture colleges. NIT Trichy has a strong overall reputation. The choice depends on your rank, preference for a dedicated architecture institution vs a multi-discipline NIT, and career goals. Check our predictor for both based on your rank.
