Families mix B.E choice filling with B.Arch. Wrong portal or missing NATA proof wastes the week.
Separate folder for B.Arch
If a supplementary architecture window opens, read that PDF line by line. Do not reuse a B.E joining checklist blindly.
Who this applies to
- Tamil Nadu students in TNEA or NEET/MCC this season
- Parents holding originals and fee receipts this week
- Students still waiting without allotment who need a calm Plan B
Clear next steps (do this in order)

- Keep NATA scorecard ready
- Read architecture-specific TNEA notice
- Do not mix B.E college list
- Verify college Council of Architecture status if you join
Documents, fees and proof
- Portal login email and password written down
- Allotment / rank / registration acknowledgement PDF
- 10th, 12th, TC (if joining), community/nativity if claimed

Mistakes that confuse families
- Uploading only JEE paper without required NATA if asked
- Choosing a college that is not approved for architecture
- Missing a separate reporting date
Simple FAQ
Can I keep B.E and B.Arch both?
Only if official rules allow parallel paths. Check both dashboards.
Is drawing test still needed?
Follow current NATA / admission brochure, not 2022 memory.
