Hi Reshu,
Time: Unlike EEE and other exams, NATA doesn't require that much intense preparation. 1 month after the board exams, to get the material and study overall.
Study material: What sort of learning suits you? Self study or classes? Depending on that choose your study plan. Choose wisely, some courses are extremely expensive and totally unnecessary.
Some places offer comprehensive courses, along with books and online tests. I would totally recommend these online tests, because they give you an authentic feel of how the test is going to be.

Hi Reshu,
Time: Unlike EEE and other exams, NATA doesn't require that much intense preparation. 1 month after the board exams, to get the material and study overall.
Study material: What sort of learning suits you? Self study or classes? Depending on that choose your study plan. Choose wisely, some courses are extremely expensive and totally unnecessary.
Some places offer comprehensive courses, along with books and online tests. I would totally recommend these online tests, because they give you an authentic feel of how the test is going to be.
Also, I feel it's better to go for NATA class or get a self study course, because it's much more productive than buying random books and reading the same material again.
The Test: The test is for 200, 100 aptitude and 100 sketching.
The 100 marks for aptitude basically consists of an online test, which consists of MCQs. The computer assigned to you randomly selects a difficulty level. Depending on your level of knowledge, it adjusts the questions as the test progresses.
Strategy: Since there is only one correct answer, you have much higher chances of scoring more here. Pay more attention to this round.English vocabulary is pretty easy. Basic antonyms and synonyms and things like that. Also, cover all the the important architects and their buildings ( especially in India).
Also, view questions ( view from left side and so on) form a major part of your paper. Concentrate on that.
Sketching: For 100 marks you get the view problems, ( ant's views, bird's view, worm's view) basic colour theory problems and such. But since the test is more subjective, they don't give that good marks. So, my last suggestion is, prepare according to your strengths. Manage your weaknesses and maximize your strengths.
Hope this helps. Click on the thumbs up or mark it as the best, if you found this useful.
