Q: Â What is the objective of NATA 2025?
CoA conducts NATA annually to select candidats who are eligible for BArch admission into the participating institutes. Through the examination, the candidate's innate ability will be assessed using a variety of testing formats and questions. NATA will also help to measure the candidate's aptitude for a specific field of study i.e., Architecture, through assessment of cognitive skills, visual perception and aesthetic sensitivity tests, logical reasoning and critical thinking ability, etc., besides the learning that the candidate has acquired over the past few years and is related to the specific field of study.
Upvote Q: Â What are the NATA 2025 assessment factors?
Candidates will be assessed on various factors during NATA 2025. The authorities will prepare the NATA 2025 question paper after considering various assessement factors - Inductive Reasoning (ability to analyze data and patterns), Diagrammatic Reasoning (ability to analyze drawings and use logical reasoning), Numerical Reasoning (ability to solve simple numerical problems), Verbal Reasoning (verbal logic), Situational Judgment (problem-solving abilities), Abstract Reasoning (general knowledge and their ability to apply it in situations) and Logical Reasoning (ability to recognize patterns, relationships, sequences and more).
