Syllabus for Paper 2 for B.Arch. or B.Planning

Part I – Mathematics

Same as that of Paper 1.

Part II – Aptitude Test

Focuses on spatial and visualization skills, basic architectural awareness:

1. Awareness of persons, buildings, materials, and textures related to architecture
2. Visualising 3D objects from 2D drawings as visualising different sides of 3D objects
3. Analytical reasoning, mental ability as visual, numerical, verbal.
4. Understanding of scale, proportion, colour harmony & contrast
5. Design & drawing of geometrical and abstract shapes and patterns

Part III A – Drawing Test (For B.Arch.)

• Sketching scenes and activities from memory of urban, rural or landscape life
• Drawing perspective, composition, aesthetics

Part III B – Planning-Based Questions (For B.Planning)

• General awareness of cities, development issues, government programmes
• Social science matters like resources, human settlements, map reading, chart interpretation

Some Preparation Tips for JEE Main 2026

Some tips to prepare in best way for JEE MAINS is given below:

• Create a strategic timetable as Align study slots based on weightage of topics and your personal strengths/weaknesses.
• Stick to NCERT as the foundation as For Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics, NCERT textbooks of Classes 11 & 12 provide a robust base.
• Practice numerical problems as Especially in Mathematics and Physics, numerical proficiency matters for speed and accuracy.
• Regular mock tests as Simulate exam conditions to hone time management and identify weak areas.
• Revise & analyse as Revisit formulas, reactions, key concepts regularly; analyze your mock test mistakes and correct them.
• Focus on high-weightage topics as From past trends, chapters like Calculus from Maths, Electromagnetism from Physics, Physical or Inorganic from Chemistry frequently carry more marks.
