Introduction
The National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA)
was established in 2006. The Council of
Architecture (CoA) regulates NATA. Moreover, the
CoA functions according to certain provisions.
The CoA was established under (Minimum Standards
of Architectural Education) Regulations, 1983.
The regulations were published in the Indian
Gazette. The architecture field is different
from general engineering subjects. Therefore, it
is crucial to have a separate aptitude exam for
architecture admission. There is a separate test
for engineering, pharmacy, medicine, and other
areas. This entrance exam establishes a single
exam scheme for architectural aptitude tests.
Besides, NATA allows students from India to apply
for admission in architecture courses. Applicants
can avail many institutes without the hustle of
several aptitude exams. Thus, NATA is the
eligibility criteria for admission in a five-year
(B.Arch.) degree program.   The CoA, as well as
the Central Government, approves these criteria.
Therefore, the exam body should strictly adhere
to the mandatory rules. Candidates can take
admission at various government,
government-aided, and unaided architectural
schools and colleges based on their NATA results.
This exam evaluates your drawing and observation
skills. The applicants sense of balance, as well
as aesthetic sensitivity, is judged.  Besides,
critical thinking abilities are tested as well.
