Frequently asked questions
How is the NATA cutoff out of 400 calculated?
Your 12th marks are converted to a score out of 200 (marks scored divided by maximum marks, times 200). Your best valid NATA score out of 200 is added to it. For example, 450 out of 500 in CBSE is 180, and a NATA score of 120 gives a cutoff of 300 out of 400.
What is the minimum 12th percentage for B.Arch?
The Council of Architecture asks for at least 45% aggregate in 12th with Physics and Mathematics (or a 10+3 diploma with Mathematics). Some state counselling rules ask for 50% for some categories, so check your state as well.
Which NATA score counts if I write more than one attempt?
The best valid score counts. Taking an attempt in the new NATA year can cancel last year's score, and the full calculator applies those rules for you.
Is a cutoff of 300 out of 400 good?
It depends on the state, the college and your category. Use the college predictor to compare your cutoff with last year's closing marks at each college.
