Hi Sudhanshu,
Yes, NATA is important for architecture because NATA is conducted by the Council of Architecture and most of the institutes /colleges accept only NATA scores.
NATA is an entrance exam for admissions to 5 year B.Arch. degree course offered by all institutes / schools / colleges of Architecture in India (including Govt., Govt-aided, Private Unaided, University Depts., Deemed Universities, etc.).
NATA is a test which only tests drawing and 3D interpretation skills and even students from humanities or commerce background can answer the exam.The exam does not test mathematics or science knowledge.

Hi Sudhanshu, architecture graduates have plenty of options available. Either you can opt to study Masters or embark on a new career right away. A bright career will depend on your skills and potentials.
Before opting for a career you must decide whether you want to be work in commercial architecture sector or residential architecture sector. Career options will differ in these two sectors accordingly. Since the job market is extremely competitive, you must choose an area which is demanding.

It definitely is Masters in Planning and architeture, Interior design is ubiquitous these days, every second person is pursuing this course and there are many small institutes and colleges that has opened up and hence less demands as more and more interior designers are coming up opportunities are getting less, while Maters in town planning or Urban Designing is a fresh field, hence the no. of job opportunities are more and hence wider career growth. So, i would definitely suggest you to go for Masters in town planning than interior designing. In order to purtsue this course there are very few good colleges like NID,sushant school of architecture Gurgaon, UPES school of Design and Studies, CCA that offers these kind of courses. Placement wise UPES and CCA is one of the best so all the best for your future.
