Applications are now open for NATA 2026, the national-level entrance exam for Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) admissions. Conducted by the Council of Architecture, NATA is accepted by more than 450 architecture colleges across India, including prestigious institutions like SPA Delhi, IIT Roorkee, IIT Kharagpur, and Jamia Millia Islamia. The test evaluates candidates on drawing skills, aesthetic sensitivity, observation, and general aptitude. Most colleges accept either NATA or JEE Main Paper-2 scores for B.Arch admissions. NATA is held in three cycles each year, and candidates can attempt all three; their highest score will be considered for admission. Interested students should check eligibility and apply before the specified deadline.
