Hello, in 2016 I cleared my 12th from commerce stream.Without maths and now I want to do architecture and I am giving NIOS exams in October for PCM. So, only 4 subjects (physics, Chemistry, maths and English) by NIOS can be allowed for NATA? Or I have to give 5 subjects?

Since, NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) is a recognized board of education, so those candidates who have completed higher secondary education with 50% marks and have studied Mathematics as one of the subjects in the qualifying examination from NIOS board, are eligible for NATA (National Aptitude Test in Architecture) exam.

>Those candidates who have completed or appearing 10+2 or its equivalent examination with Mathematics as one of the subjects with 50% marks from any recognized board, are eligible for NATA exam.
