NATA Practice or Tutions - harshita - 08-21-2014

How do you practice for NATA or Where can you take tuitions?

NATA is designed in such a manner that prior tutelage is not required. COA/NIASA is aware that the candidates will have no or minimal knowledge of architecture.

NATA measures aptitude of the candidate in his / her aesthetic sensibilities (3D visualisation, logical understanding, etc.) and drawing skills that are in-built in every candidate and developed
right from childhood to the present day.

There will be certain questions on architectural awareness wherein candidates may be required to identify building of national or international importance. The candidate is expected to know about these structures through General Knowledge.

The candidate may also prefer to update his knowledge on this by some reading, internet browsing or even by talking to architectural students, architects and other knowledgeable persons. In all probability, this will not be required.

There will be a model NATA interface available on the NATA website to help candidates get acquainted with the visual format of the
test.

There will be no model questions available as such. The language medium of the test will be English. Minimal computerskills are required (pointing and clicking Mouse buttons).
