Seat allotment will depend on the category-wise All India Rank (AIR) obtained in JEE Advanced 2026. Admission into BArch programmes will be offered only to candidates who qualify in AAT and meet the required cut-offs.
Students are strongly encouraged to complete the registration process on time and regularly check the official website for updates regarding exam instructions, admit card details, and other admission-related information.
