Many aspirants to architecture oppose new eligibility criteria
Mumbai:11.11.2021
Even as the Council of Architecture made scores in the National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA) mandatory for admissions to non-CFTIs (centrally-funded technological institutions) a few months ago, many students are opposed to it. Earlier, students with JEE (Main) scores were also eligible.
A city college principal, said the National Testing Agency gives percentile scores in JEE (Main), which is relative, and students only have to get a nonzero score to qualify. Whereas in NATA, the general category cutoff is 70 (out of 200) to qualify. It is unfair to larger number of students seeking admissions in architecture colleges through NATA, they said.
While many are opposed to it, principals claimed colleges had to maintain quality of education and the council was authorised to regulate policies on architecture education. TNN
