How to Apply: TNEA B.Arch Choice Filling and Seat Allotment Process
- Visit the official portal: Go to barch.tneaonline.org.
- Register: Complete new registration with basic personal and academic details to generate login credentials.
- Fill and submit the application: Enter academic, NATA/JEE, and category details, then upload the required original certificates.
- Pay the fee: Pay the applicable registration fee online.
- Certificate verification: Get your uploaded documents verified as per the schedule (online or at designated centres).
- Check the rank list: Log in after the rank list is published to view your rank and category position.
- Fill choices: During the choice filling window, log in and select your preferred colleges and branches in order of priority. It is advisable to enter as many valid choices as possible to improve your chance of allotment.
- Check tentative allotment: View your tentatively allotted seat and confirm it within the specified time window (typically same-day, until a stated evening deadline).
- Download the provisional allotment order: Once confirmed, download your allotment letter.
- Report and pay fees: Report to the allotted college with original documents and complete the admission formalities before the deadline. Missing the reporting deadline can result in automatic cancellation of the allotted seat.
Important Instructions
- All the dates listed above are tentative and can be revised by DoTE; always verify with the live notification on barch.tneaonline.org.
- Candidates are strongly advised to enter a large number of choices during choice filling rather than restricting themselves to only a few colleges, to reduce the risk of not receiving any seat.
- Confirmation of a tentative allotment is generally required within a same-day window (as per past patterns, typically between 10 AM and 7 PM) - candidates should check the exact confirmation window applicable to each round.
- A distinct, officially notified "B.Arch Supplementary Counselling" schedule was not available in verified sources at the time of writing; do not rely on B.E./B.Tech supplementary counselling dates for B.Arch admission, as these are separate processes.
- Keep login credentials, NATA/JEE scorecard, and academic certificates ready before each stage of the process.
