Hello,


From this academic year, NATA will be conducted twice a year - first attempt will be held on April 14 and second on July 7.
Candidates can appear in one or both the attempts. If the candidate appears in both attempts, then best of the two scores will be considered.
The exam pattern of NATA 2019 might also be tweaked, with additional time allotted for drawing test.
There are also plans to conduct a centralized counselling for NATA 2019 qualified candidates. This will ensure candidates dont have to hop across from one college to another.
NATA is conducted for admission to 5-year B.Arch courses offered by participating institutes.
Candidates who qualify NATA 2019 will be considered for admission to 1st year of B.Arch course.
Admission will be on the basis of NATA scores. The score of NATA 2019 will be valid for the current academic session only.

Eligibility criteria is :

• Academic background - The candidate must have passed 10+2 exam and scored minimum 50% marks in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and also in aggregate.
• Age limit - There is no minimum or maximum age criteria for appearing in the exam. However,  the candidate will have to meet any additional eligibility criteria that may be specified by the institute the candidate has applied for admission.
• Lateral admission - There is no provision of direct lateral entry at any stage of the B.Arch course, no matter the qualification of the candidate.
