The National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA) is a National level entrance examination that is held for filling the admission seats of the B.Arch program. The NATA result 2026 is provided by the Council of Architecture (conducting body) to the students on ‘nata.in’. Its scores are valid for 2 years from the date the exam was taken.

Students should know that the NATA result date will be scheduled to be published 7 days post their respective exam date.

The NATA result 2026 will be made available to the students in the form of statement of marks / scorecard; to view and download the same, applicants need to follow the guidelines given below:

• Candidates need to first visit the official website of the exam i.e., ‘nata.in’.
• Then, they have to login at the Student Registration Portal using the requisite credentials.
• Now, the dashboard will appear on the screen in which the button for viewing the scorecard will be there.
• Applicants have to click on the same and then they can view, download, and take a printout of their statement of marks for further reference.

* If students have attempted the NATA entrance test twice in Phase 1 then separate scorecards will be generated for them.

The statement of marks / scorecard will reflect the overall performance of the candidates. Some of the important details that students will find in their NATA result 2026 are stated below:

• Application Number
• Candidate’s Name
• Date of Birth
• Category
• Gender
• Section-Wise Marks
• Total Marks Obtained
• Result Status
• Percentile (Only for Phase 1)

The NATA entrance exam result for Phase 1 will be calculated by considering the overall performance of the appearing candidates in the test. Since Phase 1 will be conducted in multiple sessions, these raw marks will then be converted into percentile scores to eliminate any chances of unfair assessment. In case, students have taken 2 attempts in the test then their best performance will be taken into consideration for the evaluation of result.

Applicants who appear for the Phase 2 of NATA 2026 will be issued only their sectional and overall raw marks in the scorecards. Candidates who took the entrance test in 2025 but did not secure B.Arch admission in that academic year must download their final scorecard to apply for admission in the present year. This applies even if they did not appear for NATA in 2026. Moreover, the basis of ranking will be the merit of the applicants in the entrance test.

* It is to be noted that the NATA result for academic year 2026 will be available only till 90 days after its declaration. After this, no requests for providing any information will be considered.

The conducting body i.e., COA has not specified any minimum raw scores for passing the NATA exam 2026. On the other hand, for Phase 1, students should have a non-zero percentile score in the entrance test to be considered as qualified.
