All You Need To Know About NATA 2019 NATA Syllabus 2019 is defined by CoA (Council of Architecture). NATA 2019 has two parts namely- Part A which consists of General Aptitude and Mathematics Test and Part B is a Drawing Test. The syllabus of NATA will contain topics from Mathematics, General Aptitude and Drawing. It is imperative for aspirants to go through the entire syllabus which helps them to plan the preparation schedule in a precise manner. It also helps them not to get confused over what to study and what not to. It is expected that the difficulty level of the questions will be of moderate level. There will be a total of 62 questions. The duration of exam is 3-hour i.e. test takers need to take Mathematics and General Aptitude in the first 60 minutes, while the last 120 minutes are allotted for drawing section. NATA is a national level architecture entrance exam conducted by COA (Council of Architecture). Through this exam, candidates are granted admissions to B. Arch. / B. Planning Program in Top Architecture institutions across India. Read the article further to know the official section-wise NATA 2019 Syllabus.

NATA Exam Pattern for Aptitude and Mathematics Test Part A of NATA exam is General Aptitude and Mathematics Test. Through this section, a candidate’s aptitude and mental ability is tested. In the mathematics section, the questions will be asked from class 10 and 12. One must make sure to brush up all the formulas and concepts of Mathematics. The important highlights of Part I in NATA 2019 are mentioned below: •

It is carried out in online mode with objective type questions

The duration of the test is 60 minutes.

Mathematics has 20 questions and Aptitude has 40 questions.

Total marks of the test are 120 Marks. Each right answer awards 2 marks.

There is no provision of negative marking

NATA Syllabus 2019 for General Aptitude General Aptitude test measures perception, imagination and observation, creativity and communication along with architectural awareness. Given below is the criteria on which the candidates will be tested: Objects, texture related to architecture and built environment. Interpretation of pictorial compositions, Visualizing three-dimensional objects from two-dimensional drawing. Visualizing different sides of 3D objects.

NATA Preparation tips 2019 •

Read the instructions given carefully. There might be some changes in the pattern.

Never stick on one question. It may lessen your time for the next question. Jump quickly to next questions.

Attempt the questions which you find easy to crack initially.

Answer all the questions because there is no negative marking.

Understand the NATA Exam pattern properly. It saves you from panic when you see your question paper.

Do take mock tests twice in a week to check how much have you improved?

Know your strengths and weaknesses.

After going through your syllabus once, increase the number of mock tests you take.

Also, nowadays there are test series available online too. Join and strengthen your NATA preparation to crack the exam.
