About NATA 2020

National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA) is being conducted by COA since 2006, in terms of the provisions of CoA (Minimum Standards of Architectural Education) Regulations, 1983, published in the Gazette of India. It is implied that a separate aptitude test in Architecture should be conducted and such test should not be combined with the tests for admissions to Engineering, Pharmacy, Medicine and other disciplines. Being the competent authority for fixing the norms and standards for architectural institutions, COA has the necessary expertise to hold a Common Aptitude Test in Architecture, at national level to provide a single window system for appearing in aptitude test and to facilitate institutions, students and public at large for admission to First year of 5 year B.Arch. Degree Course at all recognized Institutions all over country. The purpose of conducting NATA is to provide a single scheme of examination for holding aptitude test and to facilitate prospective students all over the country to apply for admissions in architecture seats in institutions spread across the country and to avoid appearing in multiple aptitude tests. However, the actual admissions shall be carried out only by the concerned competent authorities of the respective states/institutions based on valid NATA score. The NATA also ensures that the eligibility criteria for admission to five-year Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.) degree course, as prescribed by CoA and duly approved by the Central Government, are strictly adhered to and followed all over the country in Architectural Institutions.

In view of the prevalent situation arising out of Corona Virus Pandemic (COVID-19) and consequent directives of the Government of India for ensuring public health related social distancing and other measures, the Council of Architecture, has decided to conduct both Parts A (Cognitive skills for Drawing and Visual Composition Test) and B (Test on Scientific Ability & General Aptitude) of NATA as a comprehensive online aptitude test The candidate has the option to appear for comprehensive online test of NATA 2020 either from their respective place of residence/stay or at the Council allotted centres in case they do not have internet connectivity or technical/ hardware resources such as laptop/PC, web cam/ microphone etc. The candidates will soon be provided an option in their respective login accounts to opt for their preference for place of examination for NATA 2020.

Part-A Test (Cognitive skills for Drawing and Visual Composition Test), due to exceptional circumstances, has been redevised as a preferential/multiple choice type test to be answered on PC/laptop. The syllabus for Part-A Drawing Test accordingly has been revised as Cognitive Skills for Drawing and Visual Composition Test and is specified in the brochure. This substitutes the Paper based test for this year.

NATA measures the aptitude of the applicant for specific field of study, i.e. Architecture. The test makes an assessment of cognitive skills required for drawing and composition observation skills, sense of proportion, aesthetic sensitivity, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics at 10+2 level and critical thinking ability that have been acquired by the candidate over the past few years and are related to the specific field of study.

NATA plays an important role in selecting candidates having necessary aptitude to become competent architects to serve the society and to build the nation in coming decades, especially in view of the Govt. of India mission of Smart Cities, Housing for All and Green and Energy efficient Buildings.

With the objective of attracting a greater number of bright aspirants for studying Architecture and practicing the same as a profession in future, Council like every year will be conducting NATA-2020 for admission to B.Arch. in the academic session 2020-2021.

Do Architecture Entrance need coaching guidance?

Ever since you thought about becoming an architect, you either joined a coaching class or saw your friends depending on Google to crack JEE Paper 2 or NATA. You were told by experts that coaching is the solution to making your way into an architecture career. There are several students who have left their homes and took a hostel or small rooms and their only schedule consists of coaching classes. Did you stop and wonder whether you can top or crack an architecture entrance exam without a coaching?

To answer this, you will have to be 100% honest with yourself. Let us start with a few questions.

  1. Are you in class 11 or 12 or a dropper?

A dropper, or in other words one who completed class 12 last year or before that, and is solely preparing for architecture entrance exam, is advised to join a coaching class. The main reason behind this is to improve morale strength, get quick revision, be able to understand tough sections (the ones in which you face problems) from a good teacher at coaching and to get a reality check about your preparation for architecture entrance.

If you are in class 11, then you will really have to think. A lot depends on how much efforts you are ready to put into architecture entrance exam preparations (which are among the toughest exams) from DAY 1. Joining a good coaching class which guides you in the right direction, and helps you understand the topics being taught in architecture, will straight away help. However, it is not a do or die situation straight away to join a coaching class. You can take a few days to look into the study material and see whether you need help or not and decide.

If you are in class 12, then you are already in a good position to decide. Ask yourself this question:

 2. How well you know about architecture entrance examination or its exam syllabus?

Architecture entrance exams syllabus is not only wide but somehow not being touched throughout out our daily lives. Both of the entrance exams will ask you about basic of architecture but still if you do not have that vision or particular knowledge about architecture it might be an alarming situation. It is a much-debated topic on why a student at all needs coaching for architecture entrance exam when several materials are available online or its bit easy to crack architecture entrance respective to engineering or medical entrances.

Out of 3 sections in an entrance exam, drawing and architecture aptitude is somehow most score able yet need to get trained subject, which somehow, you’ll be getting from coaching only.  However, all that matters for the student is to analyse whether or not he or she needs extra help to understand any topic or subject.

  1. How well did you perform in class 12?

If you did excellently (read extremely above average), then you are already in the right direction. With the help of right study material, solving of mock tests, you are good to go. You may refer to coaching classes study material for extra practice!

On the other hand, if you think that you left a big scope for improvement in your performance and in critical thinking, then maybe you should join a JEE Paper 2 preparation or a NATA preparation coaching.

4. Are you good at time management?

It is a tough question to ask an architecture aspirant. You are young and have hardly been introduced to the concept of time management, there have been people older and in positions of immense responsibility who have shuddered at the thought of having to manage time with numerous tasks at hand. Still, this question is important.

When you join a coaching class for architecture entrance exam preparation, you commit at least 5-6 hours to it; this includes usual 3-4 hours of classes, 1 hour of travel and 1 hour to recover from travel fatigue. In the case of many, if the coaching centre is far away then a larger portion time is wasted in travel. Those who take weekend classes, spend almost the entire day there for two days a week. Like all other entrance examinations, architecture entrance too is of 3 hours but questions asked in the exams are lot lengthy and being tough to solve in the given time limit. Good Coaching will definitely help you to come out of this fear and will not prepare you for exam but will also help you to learn the techniques of time management during the pressure and stress of exam.

For any entrance exam, apart from right coaching self-studies are critical. You need to devote at least 3-4 hours every day for that. So, can you manage time for coaching, school, and self-studies? If yes, only then must you join a coaching centre.

Apart from the above points, there are several other factors too. It is up to you to decide whether or not to join a coaching class. Make sure that you follow some smart exams techniques so that you come out with flying colours.

To answer the question we started with, YES, you can top architecture entrance exam without coaching but by joining the right coaching your chances to top architecture entrance will boost definitely. If you understand the topics and have an acumen for solving problems, then you will race ahead to the top with or without coaching.
