The NATA score will be available in three formats:

Marks obtained out of 200 and in each component.

Merit listing – unique based on marks and tie-breaking rules.

Percentile score based on the merit listing.

following rules will determine the qualifying marks for NATA 2017:

Minimum 25% must be secured in MCQ portion (30 out of 120)

Minimum 25% must be secured in Drawing portion (20 out of 80)

Overall qualifying marks (out of 200) would be based on post-exam statistics and at the discretion of the Council.

NATA is a 200 marks exam.

It has two parts:-

1. Aptitude ( 120 Marks) : Math section (2×20 = 40 Marks) and Architecture aptitude section ( 2×60 = 120 Marks) .
2. Drawing ( 80 Marks) : Two Drawing questions ( 2×40 = 80 Marks).

• So a total of 200 Marks( 120+80 marks).
• Aptitude section is totally objective and score is calculed by OMR reading machines. Drawing questions are manually checked. There is No negative marking.
• In case two Student get a tie in score, then the one with less wrong answers will get higher rank than one with more wrong answers. If they again tie than one more elder in age will get higher rank.

For admission purpose Nata’s score has to be combined with 12th class score or Diploma’s percentage. As per COA guidelines any Architecture entrance test shall not be given more than 50% weightage in total aggregate.

So almost all colleges ( except few) take aggregate as 50-50 of Nata and 12th score.

For example: A student scored 120 out of 200 in Nata and an 82% in 12th boards. The aggregate will be

120/4 +82/2 = 30+41= 71

Simply didvide total Nata score by 4 and add half the board % to get aggregate.
