Council of Architecture activates NATA 2021 Application Correction window from 26th March 2021 (10:00 AM). Those applicants who have already registered can make changes in their application form if the details are incorrect. Meanwhile, candidates who wish to appear for NATA but have not yet applied can still submit the application form by 28th March 2021. This year, COA will be conducting NATA 2021 twice, the first phase on 10th April 2021, and the second phase will be on 12th June 2021.
As per the latest update, COA revised the NATA 2021 eligibility criteria for B Arch admissions. Union Education Minister has scrapped a minimum of 50% eligibility (PCM subjects) on 19th March 2021. According to the modified eligibility term, candidates who passed in 12th or appearing for 12th are eligible to apply. Also, candidates who have completed 10+3 / Diploma (Mathematics as compulsory subject) can apply for B Arch.
In case candidates miss the NATA 2021 first phase exam due to unavoidable reasons or to improve scores by re-writing, they will have another opportunity to register for the second phase exam.
COA will issue the admit cards for NATA 2021 first phase on 6th April 2021. Only registered candidates will be allowed to access the admit card. To download the admit card, candidates should enter their registration ID & password. It is necessary to note, preserve the admit card until the conclusion of the admission procedure. In case of any discrepancy in admit card, candidates must contact the respective officials
COA has released the NATA 2021 Exam Pattern on its official website. It is similar to the previous year's exam pattern, and even the syllabus remains unchanged. The exam comprises two parts (Part 1 & Part 2). A-Part will have three drawing questions, and Part-B contains 50 MCQ type questions (PCM Subjects / Logical Reasoning, General Aptitude)
There will be no centralized counseling procedure for students seeking B Arch admission in respective institutes based on the NATA score. Candidates who qualify for the entrance test have to report to their desired college. Before applying for admission, candidates must make sure of the institute cut-off eligibility criteria.
To be noted, if a candidate attempts both the NATA 2021 April & July session, the best out of two will consider for granting admission. Moreover, the students don't need to try both the exams compulsorily.
COA will declare the NATA 2021 first phase results on 14th April 2021. Candidates will be able to check their results online by visiting the respective web portal. Whereas, second phase results will be declared by July 2021. To access results, candidates must use their login credentials.
