NATA Syllabus
NATA Syllabus
NATA assesses architecture-related aptitude rather than a conventional school-subject-only syllabus. The 2026 test uses drawing and composition together with adaptive aptitude questions.
Part A: Drawing and Composition
- Composition and colour
- Sketching and black-and-white composition
- 3D composition
- Visual arrangement, proportion, scale, texture, shade and shadow
Part B: Aptitude
- Visual reasoning and understanding of 2D and 3D composition
- Logical derivation and interpretation of situations
- General awareness related to architecture and design
- Architecture and design concepts
- Other aptitude areas used by the Council to assess architecture-related cognitive ability
The exact question mix is determined by the current examination design and should not be inferred from an older NATA pattern.
