 Architecture is a branch very few know about so let's start with what's architecture. Architecture is a branch which provides knowledge in desigining and aesthetics of the building and enchances your creativity. NATA is the separate entrance exam to get into architecture and it is mandatory to qualify in this exam for the admission to architectrure. NATA stands for National Aptitude Test in Architecture. NATA includes sectors like mathematics , general aptitude and drawing. NATA is conducted by COA - Council of architecture. COA sets the minimum standards to qualify as an architectural insitution and moniters in maintaining this standards and can make recommendations to the Government of India with regard to recognition and de-recognition of a qualification. Anyone who is entitled as an architect should be registered under COA. NATA cutoffs varies depending on the colleges.

Architecture includes various sectors such as architectural desigining, structure and construction of buildings, architectural history, architectural drawings and writings, architectural documentation, building services , theory of architecture, case studies, study tour etc. One can say architectural classes are not like the typical ones. There is a lot of scope to creativity in studio classes. The method of teaching and learning is mostly based on practicality and creativity. For eg: Study tour is a part of academics where one get to explore and understand the architecture of the place in a very effective way.
