Admission:

I gave my JEE mains paper-2 for the admission. The location of the college was one of the main factors in choosing the college. Bhopal is a quiet pollution free city. Also, at the time it was the only SPA with its own separate campus with hostel facilities on campus. SPA-B is one of the most premier architecture and planning institutions in the country. After online counselling and admissions, you just have to report to college by the given date. If you secure a good enough rank, you can get into the college through online counselling which starts a few weeks after results are declared. JEE has its own website where you register for online counselling. Once you get a seat in the college, either online or live admissions may happen.
