Architecture Aptitude Test (AAT) is for the candidates who qualify JEE Advanced and wish to take admission in the B. Arch. program offered by IIT Kharagpur and IIT Roorkee only. Note that the admission in B.Arch courses is not as per AAT rank or score, it is based on JEE Advanced AIR. However, passing AAT is mandatory for being considered for B.Arch seat allotment. To appear in AAT candidates need to register separately after JEE Advanced 2020 Result. This exam is also held at a national level to appear in which the candidates have to use their JEE Advanced 2020 Admit Card.
NATA measures the aptitude of the applicant for specific field of study, i.e. Architecture. The test makes an assessment of drawing and observation skills, sense of proportion, aesthetic sensitivity, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics at 10+2 level and critical thinking ability that have been acquired by the candidate over the past few years and are related to the specific field of study.



A dropper, or in other words one who completed class 12 last year or before that, and is solely preparing for architecture entrance exam, is advised to join a coaching class. The main reason behind this is to improve morale strength, get quick revision, be able to understand tough sections (the ones in which you face problems) from a good teacher at coaching and to get a reality check about your preparation for architecture entrance.
It is a tough question to ask an architecture aspirant. You are young and have hardly been introduced to the concept of time management, there have been people older and in positions of immense responsibility who have shuddered at the thought of having to manage time with numerous tasks at hand. Still, this question is important.
Pahal Design has been preparing students for entrance tests since 1999. Every year, Pahal Design mentors over 5,000 students and helps them secure a seat in to design Architecture and Fine arts institutes in India as well as across the world. Pahal Design highly experienced and expert faculty from reputed institutes such as NID, NIFT, IDC Mumbai, SPA well researched and updated study material, mock test, Doubt clearing sessions and online resources make Pahal Design the first choice of Design and Architecture aspirants. Finally, our coaching and guidance programs are so superior that they come with a guarantee!
