NATA Crash Course
Our intensive NATA Crash Preparation Course is meticulously designed for students to crack the National Aptitude Test in Architecture. This fast-paced program covers all essential subjects, including Mathematics, Aptitude, and crucial Drawing & Composition skills. Students who want to study architecture must pass the National Aptitude Test for Architecture (NATA) entrance exam with a satisfactory score. This will allow them to get into top architecture colleges in India.
Preparing for the NATA entrance exam requires focused and structured guidance. Our NATA Crash Course is designed to help students get exam-ready within a short time frame. Covering the entire syllabus in just 45 to 60 days, this intensive program is one of the most effective ways to confidently prepare for the NATA exam.
The NATA crash course gives you a lot of practice for the drawing test in Part B and the MCQ in Part A. Because there are only 15–20 students in each class, the expert faculty can give each student their full attention. The mock test helps our students get used to the test environment. All of these things together make it more likely that our student will do very well on the test.
