Do I need NATA or JEE Paper for admission to Chandigarh University Architecture course?

RUHI KHAN

Absolutely, either NATA or JEE Paper 2 (B.Arch Aptitude Test) is compulsory for admission into Chandigarh University's architecture program.

Students are advised to register for at least one of these exams in the admission year.

Is NCERT Mathematics enough for NATA preparation?

Algebra

Trigonometry

Coordinate Geometry

Matrices & Determinants

Do I need to study Architecture topics before NATA?

Shikha Hazarika

For NATA, you don't need to study architecture as a full subject before the exam. However, having a basic awareness is very helpful because the General Aptitude section includes questions on:

Famous architects (like Le Corbusier, B.V. Doshi, Zaha Hadid, etc.)
Well-known monuments and buildings in India and abroad
Basic architectural terms (e.g., façade, elevation, plan, symmetry)
Environmental and design awareness (sustainable design, urban planning, materials)
So instead of studying architectural theory in depth, focus on:
Reading about important structures and landmarks
Learning about basic design principles (proportion, balance, perspecti
