NATA Scores

Hi Ruby,
You haven't mentioned which state you are from. If you are referring to colleges in India, you have to know that competition for B.Arch seats is increasing every year. I'd suggest you to choose a college in which you don't have to pay much fee. Don't go for a management quota seat in a very good college, because all you'd be doing is wasting money. B.Arch is about subject and can be best learnt by yourself on the internet or by doing case studies, etc. Just make sure the college you go to has approval of the Council Of Architecture and that it has a good library.
To answer your question directly, there are no such colleges as " Good colleges". Its all about your priorities.
For a detailed list of colleges, google " List of COA approved colleges in _( your state/ city )" If the colleges are close to where you stay, Go visit the campuses once.

Hi Reshu,
NATA comprises of two parts mainly, one being the drawing section and second is the online aptitude test.
You can study on your own if you have a fair sense of 2D drawing, 3D drawing and Perspective for the drawing part. You get plenty of question papers online and there are online videos too for reference. You get books for the NATA aptitude test. Refer some of these books for the test. These questions keep on repeating and they seem quite tricky at first, but are very easy if you know the logic behind solving these question's. You also need some basic knowledge on architects, famous buildings and the material used.
If all of the above seems too much of self study then just join some NATA coaching classes for a year or so.

Hi Reshu,
All questions carry particular marks based on difficulty level:
- A tougher question will carry more marks.
- An easier question will carry less marks.
Marking is based on time,
- The less time you take, more the marks.
- The more time you take, lesser the marks.
(according to some percentage of original marks set according to difficulty)
The server chooses a random difficulty level at first which goes on increasing/decreasing according to following rules:
- if an answer is wrong, the level decreases, next question will be of lower level.
-if an answer is right, the level increases, next question will be of a higher level ( the time taken to give this correct answer will also decide how higher the next level will be)
Now coming back to your question, whether giving an answer in 10 seconds is better or taking 60 seconds(considering the answer given is right),It will mostly be beneficial for you, since the level will increase and as the time is limited, this gives you a better chance at getting more marks in the same time interval.
Hope this helps. Click on the thumbs up or mark it as the best, if you found this useful.
