No. ACPC B.Arch is a counselling process, not a test. ACPC registers candidates, prepares merit lists from your qualifying-exam marks and an architecture aptitude score, and allots B.Arch seats online round by round.
| Seats | Who can claim them (2026-27) |
|---|---|
| 95% of GIA seats, 50% of unaided (self-financed) seats, Govt seats at Centres of Excellence | Candidates who passed the qualifying exam from a school or institute in Gujarat |
| 5% of GIA seats | Candidates from any state or UT of India, including Gujarat |
The score you need comes from one of two national tests: NATA (2025 or 2026 score was accepted for 2026-27) or JEE Main Paper 2. ACPC B.Arch is one course stream of ACPC Gujarat counselling.
