NATA Coaching in Ahmedabad 2026 / 2027
The National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA) is a national-level entrance exam conducted by NIASA (National Institute of Advanced Studies in Architecture), a body under the Council of Architecture (CoA), New Delhi. This exam is a mandatory requirement for students aspiring to pursue undergraduate courses in Architecture, specifically the Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) – a 5-year professional degree program.
Introduced in 2006, NATA evaluates the aptitude of candidates in areas such as drawing and observation skills, sense of proportion, aesthetic sensitivity, and critical thinking – all essential for a successful career in architecture.
Why is NATA Important?
Being a national-level qualifying exam, NATA is compulsory for candidates who wish to apply to recognized architecture colleges across India for admission to the 5-year B.Arch degree. Without qualifying NATA (or other accepted entrance exams like JEE Main Paper 2), students are not eligible for B.Arch admissions.
Students planning to take the National Aptitude Test in Architecture should visit the official NATA website regularly for updates on exam dates, syllabus, eligibility requirements, and other important details.
Below given are some more details about NATA entrance exam.
- Purpose of NATA: It is meant to test the aptitude of applicants in Architecture in regards to sense of proportion, drawing and observation skills, critical thinking, mathematical knowledge, aesthetic sensitivity, etc. NATA entrance exam is in two parts. There is a drawing test paper for two hours and then a computer based online aesthetic sensitivity test.
- NATA Entrance Exam: The Council of Architecture has decided to conduct the test two times in a year. Thus, students who miss out the first test or want to improve their NATA score can re-appear for the second test. Both the first and second tests are conducted on different dates as a one-day online exam throughout India. The test consists of multiple choice questions, mathematics, and general aptitude. These must be answered online. The second part of the exam is paper-based, and on drawing.
- Application Procedure: The application form has three major sections to be filled: Personal details, uploading of documents, and fee payment. Make sure to fill all the mandatory sections or the form will not be accepted. Upon successful fee payment, the candidate needs to take a printout of the Confirmation Page for own record.
