12th pass in any discipline is the basic eligibility for a graduationh in Fashion Designing and Architecture. Though, you will have to appear and score well in NATA for getting admission in Architecture. So you can select your interested stream in 12th. It wont be a matter in joining your dream course. Still, Science stream may give more weight to the exam like NATA. You have to select good institutes for pursuing your course in graduation. Some of the leading institutes in Fashion Designing are NIFT, Pearl Academy, Lovely Professional University, Vogue institute etc. In Architecture, IIT Roorkee, Jadavpur university, School of planning and Architecture, Jmi, Lovely Professional University, IP university etc are the best institutes. Some of the universities are offering scholarships also. You can visit the websites for more details.

The eligibility to get admission in various courses are as :-

B.F.Tech -12TH with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as main paper.

B.Architecture - 12Th with Mathematics as main paper.

B.Designing - 12Th in any stream from a recognised board.

So, there is not need to get confused and you can select stream for 12th as according to your interest and future aim.

Some of the universities and institutes offering course are :-

NIFT.

Symbiosis.

LPU.

Fashion designing and Architecture both are very good career options.
To join in fashion designing the eligibility is to complete 10+2 education with minimum 50% from any stream.
To join in Architecture the eligibility required is to complete 10+2 education with minimum 50% and having maths and English as their main subjects.
Since joining in fashion technology doesn't require any stream but for joining in architecture you require maths and English as main subjects it's better to join in maths stream because after completing your 12th education you can join in either fashion technology or architecture that will be useful.
So join in maths stream that will help you in joining any one course.

Eligibility for Fashion Designing:

- Aspirants must have passed 10 + 2 in any discipline from recognised board with minimum 50% marks and relaxation of 5% is given to reserved students.

- Minimum age should not be less than 17 years.

- You have to appear in the entrance exam such as NIFT, NIFD, SOFT etc.


Eligibility to become architect in future:

- Aspirants must have passed 10 + 2 with physics, chemistry and mathematics from a recognised board with minimum 60% marks.

- Age should not be less than 17 years.

So personally I would recommend to you that if you are interested in fashion designing as well as in architecture so non medical stream in your Intermediate standard is the best.

Fashion Designing

To become fashion designer you can take up any stream. Candidate must have to pass 10 + 2 in any discipline with minimum 50% marks.
You must need qualify entrance exams like NIFT, SOFT.

Architect

To become architect you must need to pass 10 + 2 with science stream (physics, Chemistry, Maths).
you must need to qualify entrance exam such as NATA, JEE.
Then you can join B.Arch course in any of the reputed college in India.

To become fashion designer or architect, you must take science stream in 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics subject. Candidates after 10+2 can apply for following examination to get admission in these courses:

>NIFT entrance exam for B.Tech in Fashion Designing.

>>JEE Main for B.Arch.

>>National Aptitude Test in Architecture.

For admission in Bachelor in Architecture course it is compulsory that candidate must have passed 12th with mathematics as main paper.

While for pursuing Fashion Designing course the discipline in 12th varies as according to choice of course in fashion. But candidates passed 12th with PCM are eligible to pursue any course.

So, if you have interest in science ( PCM ) stream you must pursue it so that you have all the available option for you after 12th to get admission in bachelor degree.

To pursue Fashion Designing you must have completed Intermediate in Commerce stream along with maths. Then only you will be eligible to write examination for Fashion Designing.
If you want to pursue Architect then you must have to complete Intermediate from Science stream with PCM that is physics, Chemistry, Maths. Then after you need to write entrance exam JEE Mains.

Take Arts stream in 12th standard, then you are eligible for Fashion Designing Course.

Academic qualification for B.Tech in Fashion Designing: Aspirant should have studied Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.

In case of architecture also, mathematics is compuslory.

So, you should select PCM subject and science stream in 11th standard for these courses.

As you are in class 10, you don't need to worry because after your 10+2 only you will be eligible to sit for B.Arch or BDes. For now you need to prepare for NATA for getting admission in the top architect colleges and NIFT to get in the top fashion schools.

For NATA you need to have Maths in your 10+2 as the prime eligibility criteria and for NIFT you need to have imaginative ideas in regard to designing. So, what ever stream you choose you should have maths for NATA and nothing such mentioned in NIFT.
