The National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA) is an entrance exam conducted by the Council of Architecture (CoA) in India for admission to the Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) program. NATA measures the aptitude of the candidates for a career in architecture and assesses their drawing and observation skills, sense of proportion, and critical thinking ability.
The B.Arch program is a five-year program that combines design theory and practice and prepares students for a career in the architecture and construction industry. The program includes subjects such as design, construction technology, history and theory of architecture, and environmental studies, as well as practical training in areas such as building construction and site supervision.
There are no postgraduate (PG) level courses directly related to NATA. However, after completing the B.Arch program, you can pursue a Master of Architecture (M.Arch) program, which is a postgraduate program in architecture. The M.Arch program is a two-year program that focuses on advanced design and research and prepares students for a career in research, teaching, or advanced practice in the architecture and construction industry.
The admission to M.Arch programs is based on the candidate's performance in various entrance exams such as the Graduate Aptitude Test in Architecture (GATE) and the National Aptitude Test for Architecture (NATA). You can visit the websites of the respective universities and institutes to get more information about the M.Arch programs and the admission process.
