Hey,

NATA measures the aptitude of the applicant for specific field of study, i.e. Architecture. The test makes an
assessment of drawing and observation skills, sense of proportion, aesthetic sensitivity, Mathematics and
critical thinking ability that have been acquired over a long period of time and are related to the specific field
of study.
In order to further strengthen the conduct of the test and to attract more number of bright aspirants into
studying Architecture, COA has decided to conduct NATA-2018 for admission to B.Arch. in the academic
session 2018-19, as a one-day online examination all over the country, which will comprise of two parts: Part
A comprises of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) to be answered online and Part B is paper based drawing.
This would surely be a step towards producing competent architects to serve the society and to build the
nation in coming decades, especially in view of the Govt. of India mission of Smart Cities.

All the best for your exam!!!
