NATA Entrance Exam Coaching 2026

The NATA entrance exam (National Aptitude Test in Architecture) is the national-level test that decides admission into 5-year B.Arch programs across India. It is conducted by the Council of Architecture (CoA) up to three times a year. The NATA entrance exam tests drawing, general aptitude, and mathematics in a 3-hour online paper of 200 marks.

Start with the official NATA entrance exam syllabus released by CoA. Spend daily time on drawing practice (the highest-weighted section), solve past-year NATA entrance exam papers under timed conditions, and review mathematics and aptitude topic-wise. Neram Classes provides a structured online program with daily live classes, drawing critique, and 100+ mock tests, the same content offline students get, accessible from any city.

The NATA entrance exam 2026 is conducted in three sessions, typically April, May, and July (exact dates released by the Council of Architecture each year). Candidates can attempt all three sessions, and the highest score is used for B.Arch admissions. Check coa.gov.in for the latest schedule.

The NATA entrance exam and JEE Paper 2 test similar concepts (drawing, mathematics, aptitude) but in different formats. NATA emphasises drawing under time pressure (125 marks out of 200), while JEE Paper 2 has more mathematics and analytical questions. Most students at Neram Classes prepare for both together because the syllabus overlap is over 70%.

The qualifying score for the NATA entrance exam is 70 out of 200 (35%) for general category candidates. SC, ST, and OBC candidates need 60 out of 200 (30%). However, top B.Arch colleges like SPA Delhi, NIT Trichy, CEPT, and Anna University SAP have cutoffs of 130 to 160+. Neram Classes targets a 150+ NATA entrance exam score in every program.
