NATA 2026 Exam Centers: What You Need to Know

The Council of Architecture (CoA) conducts NATA through TCS iON centres across India. For NATA 2026, the exam is expected in approximately 96 cities covering all major metros and many tier-2 cities. The exam is computer-based for the MCQ sections (Mathematics and General Aptitude) and uses digital drawing tablets for the Drawing section.

During the NATA application process, candidates select up to 4 preferred test cities. CoA allocates centers based on first-come availability. Students in smaller towns may need to travel to the nearest city with a TCS iON centre. States like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh have the highest number of centers (8 to 12 each), while northeastern states may have 1 to 2 centers each.

Your exact center address appears on the admit card, released 10 to 15 days before the exam. We recommend visiting the center a day before the exam to familiarise yourself with the location, parking, and entry points. Our tool helps you identify the closest center early so you can list it as your first preference during application and arrange travel and accommodation if needed.
