Common mistakes to avoid

JAC Delhi B.Arch is essentially IGDTUW only

NSUT B.Arch via JAC has been discontinued or limited. SPA Delhi is via JoSAA, not JAC. DTU does not offer B.Arch. So the only viable B.Arch option through JAC Delhi 2025 was IGDTUW, which is women-only.

NATA is NOT accepted

JAC Delhi accepts JEE Main Paper 2 only for B.Arch. Even if you have a top NATA score, you cannot use it for JAC Delhi.

SPA Delhi is in JoSAA, not JAC Delhi

School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi (most competitive B.Arch in India) is a CFTI and admits via JoSAA, never through JAC Delhi.

Registration fee is flat ₹1,500

JAC Delhi 2025 charged ₹1,500 for ALL categories including SC/ST. The widely cited ₹500 reduction for SC/ST does not apply.

Male candidates cannot get B.Arch through JAC Delhi

IGDTUW is women-only. Without other functioning B.Arch options through JAC Delhi 2025, male candidates targeting Delhi B.Arch should look at JoSAA (SPA Delhi) or apply to private colleges directly.
