Hi, what is the benefit of National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA) exam? For which all engineering degree is this exam useful? What is the question pattern? Is it only useful for Architecture courses? When and how to apply for it?

NATA exam is conducted twice in a year i.e. in April and July.

Last date to apply for July NATA exam was June 12, 2019 which is already passed.

Now, you can apply for NATA exam next year only. Application forms will be releasing next year in January.

NATA stands for National Aptitude Test in Architecture which measures aptitude skills of the candidate related to field of Architecture. This exam is beneficial for architecture field students as it tests observation skills, aesthetic sensitivity and critical thinking ability of a candidate.
