Amity University Mumbai B.Arch : Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. NATA is the primary accepted exam for B.Arch admissions at Amity University Mumbai. As per the Council of Architecture guidelines, JEE Paper 2 (B.Arch) was also accepted in some previous years. However, for 2026 admissions, NATA 2025 or NATA 2026 qualified score is the stated requirement. It is advisable to check directly with the admissions office (7303-396-396) for the latest update on JEE Paper 2 acceptance.

Ans. Amity University Mumbai requires a qualified status in NATA, which means you need to meet the minimum qualifying threshold set by the Council of Architecture. For NATA 2026, the CoA has not prescribed a fixed minimum qualifying score (unlike NATA 2025 which required 60 out of 200). The final selection also depends on your Class XII marks and performance in the Personal Interview. With only 30 seats, a higher NATA score improves your chances significantly.

Ans. The small batch size of 30 is actually a significant advantage for B.Arch students. Architecture is a studio-based programme where individual attention, design critiques, and hands-on learning are critical. A smaller cohort means more one-on-one time with faculty, better access to labs and equipment, and a more collaborative studio environment. Students and alumni on Quora have noted that the faculty is strict about teaching and students get extensive practice in drawing plans and design submissions.

Ans. Yes. The B.Arch programme at Amity School of Architecture and Planning (ASAP), Mumbai is recognised by the Council of Architecture (CoA). Upon completion of the 5-year programme, graduates are eligible to register as Architects with the CoA, which is mandatory to practice architecture professionally in India.

Ans. The 9th semester (Year 5, Semester 1) is entirely dedicated to Practical Training, which is essentially a mandatory internship with an architectural firm or organisation. This gives students real-world exposure before their final thesis project in Semester 10. Additionally, the programme includes architectural study tours, site visits, workshops by industry professionals, and a model-making room and construction yard for hands-on learning throughout the 5 years.

Ans. Yes, Amity University Mumbai has on-campus hostel facilities for both boys and girls, with a combined capacity of over 1,100 students. Hostel accommodation is optional. The approximate annual hostel fee is Rs. 70,000 for Non-AC rooms and Rs. 1,21,000 for AC rooms, inclusive of boarding and laundry charges. A one-time refundable security deposit of Rs. 15,000 is also payable. Given the campus is located on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway in Panvel (away from the city), staying in the hostel is a practical choice for outstation students.
