All About NATA
The National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA) is conducted by the Council of Architecture (COA) since 2006 under the CoA (Minimum Standards of Architectural Education) Regulations, 1983. It is a specialized entrance exam designed exclusively for architecture aspirants, separate from engineering, pharmacy, and medical entrance exams. Being the competent authority for architectural education, COA ensures that NATA coaching follows a standardized national-level aptitude test format, offering a single-window system for admissions to the five-year B.Arch degree at recognized institutions across India.
