Candidates seeking admission to 5 years full-time Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) programs in institutes across the nation have to qualify NATA 2021. For this session, CoA has relaxed eligibility. For now, candidates just need to pass 10+2 with physics, chemistry, and maths or must have passed the 10+3 diploma exam with maths as a compulsory subject. Thus, there is no minimum marks cap for this session.

The aptitude test will consist of questions that could be of Multiple-Choice type (MCQ), Multiple Select type (MSQ), Preferential Choice type (PCQ) and Numerical Answer type (NAQ). The total mark of the exam is 200. Also, there will be questions carrying 1 mark, 2 marks, and 3 marks. The syllabus for NATA 2021 is also prescribed by CoA.
