The National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA)

In addition to learning that the candidate has accumulated over the past few years that is related to the specific field of study, NATA assesses the applicant's aptitude for that field of study, in this case, architecture, through assessments of cognitive skills, visual perception and aesthetic sensitivity tests, logical reasoning and critical thinking abilities, etc.

The National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA) is a 5-year B.Arch. and B.Planning entrance exam that is administered at the national level by the Council of Architecture (COA). An aspiring architect can take this aptitude test to be admitted to architecture programs at colleges other than the IITs and NITs. But keep in mind that, in contrast to entrance exams for IITs and NITs, NATA is only an aptitude test and does not ensure your admission to any college.
