SPA Delhi, SPA Bhopal, SPA Vijayawada, and all NITs\/GFTIs use only JEE Main Paper 2 (B.Arch) rank. NATA is for state CET admissions (MahaCET, ACPC, KCET etc.) which run completely separately.

(2) Qualify JEE Advanced 2026. (3) Clear AAT (Architecture Aptitude Test) \u2014 a separate drawing-based test conducted by the organising IIT. AAT choices can be filled from June 7, 2026 after AAT results are declared.

This accepts your SPA Bhopal seat as a confirmed backup while JoSAA automatically upgrades you to SPA Delhi if it becomes available based on your rank. Never reject the SPA Bhopal allotment \u2014 doing so removes you from all further JoSAA rounds permanently. Float keeps you safely in the process.<\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-block\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->      <\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-q\">Q: I got SPA Delhi in Round 1 \u2014 do I have any choice?<\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->      <\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">If you are allocated your first-choice programme, only Freeze is available (Business Rules Clause 48).

JoSAA 2026 Business Rules (Section VIII) state that when multiple candidates share the same rank competing for fewer seats, supernumerary seats are created to accommodate ALL tied candidates.
