NATA 2026 Phase 1 Scorecard Details

The NATA 2026 Phase 1 scorecard is an official document issued by COA. It serves as proof of your score and qualifying status for B.Arch admissions. The scorecard is not dispatched by post and must be downloaded from nata.in. It contains the following details:

Detail Description

Roll Number Assigned for the exam slot
Date of Birth As submitted during registration
Part A Marks (Drawing and Composition) Marks scored out of 80

NATA 2026 Qualifying Marks Criteria

To be considered qualified in NATA 2026, students must clear both the section-level minimums and the overall threshold. The qualifying criteria as per the NATA 2026 brochure is:

Section Maximum Marks Minimum Qualifying Marks
Part A — Drawing and Composition Test 80 20
Part B — Aptitude Test 120 30
Overall Total 200 70 (40%)

Students must meet the minimum threshold in each section separately. Scoring above 70 overall but below 20 in Part A or below 30 in Part B will result in a not-qualified status. Students who do not qualify in Phase 1 can appear for NATA 2026 Phase 2. The higher of the two scores is accepted for admissions.


What to Do After NATA 2026 Phase 1 Result

Once the NATA 2026 Phase 1 Result is declared on July 14, 2026, here is what you should do:

  • Download and save the scorecard — Keep both a digital copy and a printout for the admissions and counselling process.
  • Confirm your qualifying status — Check that you have met the 20/30/70 minimum marks requirement across sections.
  • Assess your college prospects — Use your score and percentile to gauge expected admission chances at target B.Arch colleges based on previous year NATA cutoff trends.
  • Register for Phase 2 if needed — Students not satisfied with their Phase 1 score can register for NATA 2026 Phase 2 to attempt an improvement.
  • Track state counselling schedules — Many states use NATA scores directly for B.Arch admissions. Check the relevant state admission authority for counselling dates and procedures.
  • Prepare your documents — Gather Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets, NATA scorecard, transfer certificate, identity proof and caste certificate (if applicable) well ahead of admission deadlines.

NATA 2026 scores are valid for one academic year and must be used for admissions to the 2026–27 B.Arch batch.
