IMPORTANCE OF ARCHITECTURE Architects are playing an increasingly important role in solving the great issues of our day, such as dealing with climate change and providing sustainable communities. They are working on urban regeneration and master-planning projects, tackling environmental hazards, designing Olympic sites, and creating the public squares, parks and streets we all use.It is perhaps simplest to say that architects create places for people to live, work and enjoy, and places for plants and animals to thrive. Architects also speak up for the care and preservation of our landscapes. 6. APTITUDE In the exam of NATA & other B.Arch Entrance exams this is the only thing which is asked and accounted that a student who is going to study architecture has a proper sense of visualization and can he transform his ideas on to paper as well as his observation of various objects which he observes in day- to-day life .Creativity is not given in books. It is done with visualization and it is only Architect whose visualization is transformed in reality in terms of buildings. 7.

DRAWING TEST This is a two hour paper where candidate has to attempt three questions. The drawing aptitude is judged on the following aspects Ability to sketch a given object proportionately and rendering the same in visually appealing manner.

This section is computer adaptive, meaning that the computer selects questions based on the candidates performance on preceding questions (When correct answer is given, next question will be of higher difficulty level whereas, if wrong answer is given next question is of lower difficulty level) and on the requirements of the test design. Test design factors that influence which questions are presented to the candidate include: The statistical characteristics (including difficulty level) of the questions already answered. The required variety of question types. During the computer based test, with adaptive testing, an examinee is administered a set of questions with a difficulty level that is specifically designed to match the examinees ability level. The mathematical process for calculating a score in this situation incorporates the statistical properties of the questions, the examinees performance on the questions, and the number of questions that are answered. 14.
