About the exam

What is NATA?

The National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA) is the entrance exam for admission to B.Arch programs across India. It is conducted by the Council of Architecture and is the primary gateway for students who want to become architects.

NATA is conducted multiple times a year, typically from April to July, after board exams. Students can appear in both attempts in a single season and the higher score is considered for admission. This makes NATA one of the few entrance exams where a student gets more than one chance in the same cycle.

The exam is computer-based and tests three things: drawing ability and spatial visualisation, general aptitude and design awareness, and basic PCM at 11th and 12th level.

For B.Arch admission, a minimum of 50% aggregate in PCM in 12th grade is mandatory. This is a hard requirement from the Council of Architecture and cannot be bypassed.

Career scope

What can you do with a B.Arch degree?

Architecture is one of India’s most respected and versatile professions. B.Arch graduates work in architectural firms, interior design studios, urban planning, real estate development, landscape design and government bodies.

Many B.Arch graduates start their own architecture practices or studios. Others pursue M.Arch or specialisations in urban design, sustainable architecture or landscape architecture in India and abroad.

Architecture rewards consistency — the long arc of the career compounds steadily.

Student testimonials

In their words.

NATA Student

The mock tests here are brutal in the best way. By the time I sat for the actual NATA, it felt easy compared to what we had been practising. The faculty pushes you to your actual limit.

Parent

My son had failed the exam once before. The team here identified exactly where he was going wrong. He cleared NATA in his second attempt with a strong score.
