Attention, architecture aspirants! The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has issued a clarification on what it had said earlier about BArch admission norms. AICTE had said that Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics will not be mandatory at the Class 12 level for admission into BArch courses.
However, now it has issued a clarification stating that it is the Council of Architecture (CoA) that will be deciding the final BArch eligibility criteria for aspirants.
ICTE said – “As per norms of the Council of Architecture”. This section had earlier mentioned “nil” for mandatory courses at 10+2 level. According to a notification issued by the CoA last year, physics, chemistry, and mathematics are mandatory in Class 12 for seeking admission to B. Arch courses.
But in its handbook released Tuesday, the AICTE had removed the mandatory requirement of physics, chemistry and mathematics for admission to architecture courses.
