About NATA 2024
The Council of Architecture (CoA) has been organizing the National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA) since 2006, in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the CoA (Minimum Standards of Architectural Education) Regulations, 1983, which were officially published in the Gazette of India. There have been three session NATA tests scheduled for 2024. It is optional for applicants to appear in the second or third test, and they can choose to register for any or all of the tests by completing the appropriate application form. The application process is conducted online through the NATA portal at www.nata.in. Candidates are required to create a username and password by providing basic information and then access the actual application form by clicking on the "ONLINE APPLICATION NATA-2024" link. The form is interactive and divided into different sections for ease of completion. The NATA 2024 admit card will only be available to registered applicants. Candidates who have registered may choose to take part in any or all of the NATA 2024 sessions. If a candidate takes two tests, the best of those two results will be considered the valid score; if a candidate takes three tests, the valid score will be the average of the candidate's two best results. Admission to the B.Arch degree programme given by various colleges across India requires NATA 2024 qualification.
