There is no official NATA 2027 answer key. The Council of Architecture’s NATA brochure has no answer key or objection process. Instead, CoA issues a statement of marks with your raw score within 7 days of each test. Keys you see online are unofficial and based on memory of the questions.
NATA Answer Key 2027
Why NATA has no official answer key, how you get your marks and how to judge your score.
How to Check Your NATA 2027 Marks Instead of an Answer Key
- Wait for the result of your test, which CoA declares within 7 days of the test date.
- Log in to the NATA registration portal with your email ID and password.
- Download the statement of marks, which shows your raw score for that test.
- After all Phase 1 tests, download the final scorecard with your best raw score and percentile.
Details are on the NATA result page.
Can you challenge the NATA answer key?
No. Since CoA does not publish an answer key, there is no objection window or challenge fee. CoA keeps exam records for only 90 days after the result, and its interpretation of the rules is final.
How is the NATA score calculated?
Your raw score is your marks out of 200: Part A drawing (out of 80) plus Part B aptitude (out of 120). Part A answers are drawings, so they are marked by examiners, not by a key.
| Part | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Part A: A1 + A2 + A3 | 3 drawing tasks | 80 |
| Part B: MCQ + NCQ | 42 + 8 | 120 |
| Total | 200 |
For Phase 1, CoA turns your best raw score into a percentile, which compares you with all candidates who took Phase 1. Phase 2 gives a raw score only.
