Architecture Entrance Exam

No, there is no single or centralised counselling date for NATA-qualified candidates. The Council of Architecture (CoA) does not conduct any common counselling for NATA. Once you receive your score, it's up to individual institutes or state-level admission authorities to manage their own counselling schedules. Each college or university determines when and how they'll conduct counselling, this includes application deadlines, seat allotment, document verification, and fee payment .

The Council of Architecture (CoA) will officially release the NATA 2026 results in May 2026.  Additionally, CoA adheres to the following schedule for every exam session. Results are typically declared within 7 days of each test date. So, if you appeared in a later session (e.g., in June, July, or August), you can expect your result roughly one week after your exam.

There isn't a fixed numeric NATA cutoff published for MIDAS, but here's what you need to know:

MIDAS requires an "adequate" NATA score along with at least 50% in 10+2 and typically 75% total marks in Physics, Chemistry & Maths. In simpler terms, just aim for a solid performance in NATA—usually around the school's average or above—to get through the admission rounds.

For getting into B.Arch you atleast need to have maximum 10000 rank and to secure this much atleast marks should be 200-250 out of 400.

The NATA 2026 additional examination will be conducted from July 2026 to August 2026. Booking of appointments for the NATA exam can be done from June 2026 to August 2026. Exams during this period will take place across Fridays (afternoon) and Saturdays (morning & afternoon).

Yes, you can apply for NATA without completing Class 12, provided you are appearing for the Class 12 board exams (or 10+3 Diploma final exams) in the same academic year.

Eligibility Clarification:
Candidates appearing for the 10+2 exam with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics
OR

Candidates appearing for the 10+3 Diploma exam with Mathematics as a subject are eligible to apply for NATA provisionally.
However, you must pass the qualifying exam with the required subjects and marks before admission to a B.Arch. course.
