• Exam Pattern Overview:

• • • The NATA exam consists of two parts: Part A and Part B, each designed to assess different aspects of a candidate’s aptitude for architecture.
    • Part A is a computer-based test (CBT) comprising Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) and will assess candidates’ drawing skills, aesthetic sensitivity, and logical reasoning.
    • Part B is a drawing test conducted in a physical format, where candidates will be evaluated based on their freehand drawing skills, creativity, imagination, and observational skills.

• Part A: Online Test (CBT):

• • • Mathematics & General Aptitude: This section assesses candidates’ mathematical skills and general aptitude through MCQs. Topics may include algebra, trigonometry, geometry, numerical reasoning, and analytical reasoning.
    • Drawing Test: Candidates will be presented with multiple-choice questions that assess their drawing aptitude, visualization skills, and understanding of geometric shapes, proportions, and scale.

• Part B: Drawing Test:

• • • Sketching and Freehand Drawing: Candidates will be required to create sketches and drawings based on given prompts or visual stimuli. Emphasis will be placed on creativity, composition, perspective, and attention to detail.
    • Memory Drawing: Candidates may be asked to recreate a scene or object from memory, demonstrating their ability to observe, recall, and represent visual information accurately.
    • Imagination and Creativity: This section may involve imaginative drawing tasks that encourage candidates to think outside the box, explore unconventional ideas, and express their creativity freely.

• Syllabus Breakdown:

• • Mathematics: Algebra, Trigonometry, Coordinate Geometry, 3D Coordinate Geometry, Differential Calculus, Integral Calculus, Application of Calculus, Permutations and Combinations, Statistics and Probability.
  • General Aptitude: Visualizing different sides of three-dimensional objects, Analytical Reasoning, Mental Ability, Mathematical Reasoning, Sets and Relations, Interpretation of pictorial compositions, Architectural Awareness.
  • Drawing Test: Understanding of scale and proportion, Geometric shapes, Form transformations, Visualization and rendering of objects in perspective, Freehand sketching of scenes and activities, Creating 2D and 3D compositions, Creativity and imagination.
