The National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA) has announced the postponement of the NATA 2021 exam and rescheduled it for July 11 due to the surge in Covid-19 cases and the subsequent lockdown, NATA said in an official notification.
“In view of the severity of second wave of Covid-19 and subsequent lockdowns being imposed in several States/UTs in the country for containment of pandemic, it has been decided by the competent authority of the Council of Architecture that the second test of NATA 2021 examination shall now be held on July 11, 2021 instead of earlier scheduled date of June 12, 2021,” NATA said in the notification.
The revised brochure consisting of important dates for the second test will be uploaded shortly on the official website of NATA as well on website of the Council. The NATA shall remain open to facilitate students applying for registration for the second test, the notice said.
