The last days before the examination are usually critical because the candidate's performance during this time determines the results. Candidates should do their all in the final days before the exam to achieve a successful performance. Here are some of the best last-minute NATA preparation ideas.
- Candidates are recommended not to begin any new topics a few days before the entrance exam. Because this increases the likelihood of confusion, applicants should revise and enhance their previous knowledge.
- Revision should be done on a daily basis so that students do not forget what they have previously studied for the entrance exam.

No, appearing for the NATA exam is not necessary for admission to TSAP - Thakur School of Architecture and Planning BArch course. The institute accepts two exams for BArch admissions: JEE Main Paper 2 and NATA. Thus, students aspiring to take admission but haven't appeared for NATA can apply via JEE Main Paper 2 scores. Moreover, students with a valid accepted exam score must participate in the MHT CET CAP counselling process.

Yes, NATA is compulsory. NATA is required for all the candidates appearing for admission to the B.Arch course in the Siddaganga Institute of Technology. Regardless of category, students must secure a minimum of 40% in NATA. This apart from meeting the academic criteria of 50% in class 12 PCM or 10+3 Diploma with Mathematics.

The National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA) is usually conducted by the Council of Architecture (CoA) in three sessions between April and July. For 2025, the first session is expected in April, the second in June, and the third in July. The official notification, with exam dates and registration details, will be released on nata.in. Students can register online, upload required documents, and pay the fee of approximately two thousand rupees. NATA scores are accepted by architecture colleges across India for B.Arch admissions, making it one of the most important exams for architecture aspirants.

Trying to get into NITs or IITs for B.Arch with NATA? Hate to break it to you—but NATA scores don't work there. NITs only accept JEE Main Paper 2, and IITs want you to clear JEE Advanced + the AAT (Architecture Aptitude Test). Save your NATA scores for private architecture schools or other institutes that actually accept it. For NIT/IIT, it's JEE route only—no shortcuts.
