NATA 2017 Application Form, Exam Dates, Syllabus
National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA 2017) measures the aptitude of the applicant for specific field of study, i.e. Architecture. The test measures drawing and observation skills, sense of proportion, aesthetic sensitivity and critical thinking ability that have been acquired over a long period of time, and that are related to specific field of study, i.e. Architecture. Careers in architecture offer young professionals a life of discovery, growth and personal development. An architectural education sets in motion a life-long learning process! Architecture is a career for people who love their work and a “job” is not their goal. This is so because as a follower in the studio young architects become leaders on site where drawings are transformed into reality and in society where they have a special lean on eternity.
Unlike fast-track fields, architects just continue to grow and to increase their quality of life. After 50 years of experience, architects form the highest paid group of self-employed professionals, often claiming fees of a Crore Rupees and above for a single commission.
