NATA Syllabus 2022 - The Council of Architecture (COA) will release the NATA 2022 syllabus along
with the official brochure at its official website at nata.in. The syllabus of NATA 2022 will help
candidates to know about the subjects, topics and sub-topics on which the question paper will be
based on. Before commencing the preparation for the NATA 2022, candidates will have to the
syllabus.

The NATA syllabus 2022 is changed being divided among seven parameters of aptitude. The
authorities will conduct NATA for admission into the B.Arch courses offered by the participating
institutes of the country. Along with the syllabus, candidates should also go through the NATA 2022
exam pattern. Read the complete article to know more about the NATA syllabus 2022 .

NATA Syllabus 2022

Candidates can check the syllabus of NATA 2022 on the official website. It is important for the
candidates preparing for the upcoming entrance exam to check the NATA syllabus and strategize the
preparation accordingly.

NATA Syllabus in Previous Year

As per the official brochure for NATA 2022 , Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are not focused.
Rather, Aptitude is the key from which questions will be framed. However, various other topics have
been mentioned which may be asked to test the candidate's understanding of basic concepts. Thus,
such topics which were mainly asked till the previous year may be referred to from the tables below:
