What is JEE Advanced AAT 2026?

The Architecture Aptitude Test (AAT) is a national-level entrance test conducted by IIT Roorkee for candidates seeking admission to the 5-year B.Arch programme at select IITs. The AAT is a paper-based drawing test of 3 hours duration in English medium. It covers five sections: Freehand Drawing, Geometrical Drawing, Three-Dimensional Perception, Imagination and Aesthetic Sensitivity, and Architectural Awareness. 

The test is subjective in nature and evaluated by IIT Roorkee's panel. There is no public answer key. The result declares only qualifying status - 'Qualified' or 'Not Qualified' for B.Arch.

Key Facts:

  • AAT is conducted once a year, after JEE Advanced result
  • It is a paper-based (offline) test - not computer-based
  • Candidates must bring their own drawing and colouring aids
  • The B.Arch program is available at IIT (BHU) Varanasi, IIT Kharagpur, and IIT Roorkee only
