As per 2018 cut off, the last rank that got into BMS Bull Temple Road was rank 64 in Round 2 extended (General Merit). The last rank under all of the categories was Rank 2125 under GMK category.

Generally, for General Merit, you should have ideally scored above 90% in boards and 140+ in NATA.

From our last visit to the School of Architecture at Manipal, you should have been able to get a seat with your scores based on last year admissions. However, since this year the dynamics are different, keep your fingers crossed and your spirits high.

Would you have access to the internet from a desktop in your library / classroom? If so, then you cold use the study material from DQ Edge to help you out whenever you have access.

If you dont have access to a college computer, then we recommend a book for NID / UCEED preparation - which is available at DQ Labs. It will help you out a lot. Do send us an email to [email protected] for more information or call us on 9591001000.

Other than this, in your school, you will find various books on Mental Ability, Analytical Reasoning, Spatial Ability etc. Also keep yourself updated on the latest current affairs around you.

All the best!

Fantastic! Glad that you are considering equipping yourself with a degree. Your experience will help you tremendously through your MDes program.

To prepare for IISc or IIT, you need to build your Creative Thinking skills, Sketching skills and Aptitude (Spacial, Analytical etc.). Its hard to balance work and preparation for these programs - but if you structure your prep time, you will easily manage:

• Do consider NID PG programs - since the exam is similar in structure to CEED
• Go through the study material / mock tests available on this platform. You will have to spend about 3 to 4 hours a week till January 2020
• You can also submit your sketches for evaluation from expert design faculty
• If you find the need to go for physical classes, we suggest DQ Labs online / physical classrooms depending on your preferences
• So to sum up, you can do the following
• Physical Classroom sessions - about 4 hours per week
• Online sessions - about 3 hours per week
• DQ Edge - about 4 hours per week

This will be sufficient for you to excel in the exam.

All the best!

Your NATA and JEE Paper 2 marks are very good. Unfortunately, your board percentage may pose a challenge.

Typically, to get into RV or BMS, you would need to be within the top 100 Karnataka CET Architecture ranks i.e. 130+ in NATA and over 90% in boards.

If you are extremely keen on these two colleges, then I can suggest contacting them for a management seat. You could also consider other schools like

• Nitte School of Architecture
• Reva University School of architecture
• CMR Unviersity School of Architecture
• Wadiyar Centre for Architecture, Mysore
• BGS School of Architecture, Bangalore
• Dayanada Sagar School of Architecture, Kanakapura Road, Bangalore etc.

Hope this helps! All the best!

Well, you do not have much time, but you still have sufficient time!

You need to put in a lot of effort till July 7th.

1. 4 hours a day on DQ Edge
2. 4 hours a day at DQ Labs classrooms
3. 1 Mock test a day

This will help you out tremendously. You will need to focus a lot on your sketching skills.

Absolutely hard - but not impossible for you.

All the best!

There are about 1000 architecture seats in Karnataka that are offered through CET. While your NATA score is good, your board percentage may be a drawback.

Suggest you do consider management seats as a back up plan. You could also consider schools like:

• Nitte School of Architecture
• Reva University School of architecture
• CMR Unviersity School of Architecture
• Wadiyar Centre for Architecture, Mysore
• BGS School of Architecture, Bangalore
• Dayanada Sagar School of Architecture, Kanakapura Road, Bangalore etc.

Hope this helps,

All the best!

Manipal has their own admission process for the seats. They usually take in 160 seats - but it depends on the approvals of the CoA.

This can change every year, however, if you have a board percentage of above 85% and above 130 in NATA, you stand a good chance of getting in.

What is your rank?

Along with the 2019 JEE Paper 2 percentile, you would have also got a rank. The rank is more important.

You need to:

1. Go to the JoSAA website
2. Select Academic Program: Architecture
3. See the cut off rank as per last year

This will give you a good idea
