JoSAA B.Arch College Predictor 2026

Enter your JEE Main Paper 2A rank to see which JoSAA-participating institutes accept you for B.Arch admission. We use 4,200+ real closing-rank rows from JoSAA 2023, 2024 and 2025, covering all 21 institutes that allocate seats through JoSAA: IITs (Kharagpur, Roorkee, BHU), NITs (Trichy, Calicut, MNIT Jaipur, MANIT Bhopal, VNIT Nagpur, Hamirpur, Patna, Raipur, Rourkela, Kurukshetra), Schools of Planning & Architecture (Delhi, Bhopal, Vijayawada), and GFTIs (IIEST Shibpur, BIT Mesra, SMVDU, Mizoram University). The predictor handles CRL vs category rank disambiguation, applies your home-state quota correctly to NIT seats, and groups NIT, SPA and GFTI results into Safe / Probable / Reach. The 3 IITs (Kharagpur, Roorkee, BHU) are shown in a separate section, because they admit through your JEE Advanced rank plus a Pass in the AAT, not your JEE Main Paper 2A rank.

How it works

How the JoSAA B.Arch College Predictor 2026 works

  1. Pick your category and PwD status

    Choose from General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, or EWS. Check the PwD box if you have a benchmark disability. The predictor uses your category-specific PwD seats.

  2. Choose CRL or category rank

    Reserved-category students see TWO ranks on their NTA scorecard: a CRL and a category rank. The predictor lets you toggle between them so you know exactly which one is being matched against closing ranks.

  3. Select your home state

    NIT seats are split into HS (Home State) and OS (Other State) quotas. Pick your home state once and the predictor automatically applies HS at your home NIT and OS at NITs in other states.

  4. Read the results

    Institutes are grouped Safe, Probable, Reach by how far your rank is from each closing rank. Compare across 2023, 2024, 2025 in one view. Click any institute to read its detailed Neram college profile.

Features

Key features

  • CRL vs category rank disambiguationAn OBC-NCL student with CRL=1067 and OBC-NCL=322 sees a clear toggle so they enter the right rank. Other predictors silently mis-match these.
  • Smart home-state quota inferencePick your state once. The tool applies AI everywhere, HS only at home-state NITs, OS at other-state NITs. No more eyeballing the seat matrix.
  • Multi-year comparison modeSee how your chances trend across 2023 / 2024 / 2025 at the same institute in a single side-by-side table. Helpful when closing ranks are volatile.
  • Card and Table viewsCards for browsing on mobile, Table for power users who want to compare 20 institutes at once. One toggle, same data.
  • Built on official JoSAA data4,210 closing-rank rows sourced from JoSAA Opening & Closing Rank archives 2023-2025, covering all 6 rounds where applicable. Updated after every JoSAA cycle.
  • Direct college deep-linksEvery result card links to the institute's detailed Neram profile with NIRF history, fees, COA approval, placements, and reviews (for the 14 of 21 institutes covered in our College Hub).

JoSAA Counselling for B.Arch in 2026

The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) conducts centralised counselling for B.Arch admissions across 21 institutes: 3 IITs that admit through JEE Advanced (Kharagpur, Roorkee, BHU), 10 NITs that admit through JEE Main Paper 2A, 3 Schools of Planning & Architecture (Delhi, Bhopal, Vijayawada), and 5 GFTIs including IIEST Shibpur and BIT Mesra. Counselling typically runs from June to August across 6 rounds, with final allotment by mid-August.

Two ranks matter for reserved-category candidates. Your Common Rank List (CRL) is your position among all B.Arch test-takers. Your category rank is your position within your specific reservation category. NIT seats reserved for OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS or PwD candidates use the category rank as the closing rank, while OPEN seats use CRL. Mixing these up is the single most common reason students fill the wrong preference order.

NIT seats are further split into quotas: Home State (HS) for students whose JEE State of Eligibility matches the NIT's state, Other State (OS) for everyone else, and All India (AI) at IITs and SPAs. Roughly 50% of NIT B.Arch seats are HS-only, so your home state can be the difference between a Safe seat and a Reach.

Round-wise closing ranks shift sharply between Round 1 and the final round as students upgrade or withdraw. The Neram predictor defaults to the latest available round (most accurate for "what would I get today") but you can switch to earlier rounds via the Advanced panel.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Both work, but they predict different seats. CRL is matched against OPEN seats only (the unreserved pool). Category rank (OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS) is matched against your category's reserved seats. If you're reserved-category, try both: your category rank will usually open more options at NITs, while CRL might be needed for IITs where category seats are highly competitive.
