Yes, you can apply for more than one NATA test in a year.
The Council of Architecture (CoA) allows candidates to appear for up to three attempts of NATA in a single academic year (Test 1, Test 2, and Test 3).
- You must register separately for each test.
- You'll need to pay the application fee for each attempt.
- The best score out of all attempts will be considered for admission.
This gives you a better chance to improve your score and target top architecture colleges.
