NATA Mock Test 2026

NATA has two parts taken in one sitting: Part A, an offline hand-drawn Drawing and Composition Test of 3 questions for 80 marks in 90 minutes, and Part B, a computer-based aptitude test of 50 questions for 120 marks in 90 minutes covering Mathematics and General Aptitude together. The paper totals 200 marks over 3 hours with no negative marking. This mock covers Mathematics only. Part A is excluded because it is hand-drawn and human-evaluated, so it cannot be auto-graded. Part B's General Aptitude component is excluded because it bundles visual perception, spatial ability, architectural awareness, general knowledge and reasoning with no published split between the safely self-authorable reasoning portion and the factual-recall or diagram-dependent portion, the same exclusion already applied to INET and Agniveer Vayu's combined Reasoning/General Awareness sections. Re-checked on 4 September 2026. Mathematics being a separately scored 40-mark component is now corroborated structurally rather than only by repetition: the NATA scorecard reports Mathematics out of 40 alongside General Aptitude out of 80 and Drawing out of 80, and the published tie-break rule ranks candidates on Mathematics marks first, both of which require Mathematics to be scored on its own. The 20-question, 2-mark-per-question composition of those 40 marks is consistently reported across independent secondary sources and is arithmetically consistent with the 40-mark component. The Mathematics topic list (Algebra, Trigonometry, Coordinate Geometry, Calculus, Mensuration, Vectors and 3D Geometry, Matrices, Probability) is likewise consistently corroborated. The pattern nonetheless stays review-pending rather than official, for three reasons. First, nata.in and coa.gov.in remain unreachable from the environment used to maintain this catalogue, so no figure here has been read off the primary information brochure; search indexes place that brochure at nata.in/assets/pdf/nata-brochure-final.pdf, which is the document to check when access is available. Second, secondary sources contradict each other on question counts that bear on this section: the whole paper is variously given as 48 questions and as 53 (3 drawing plus 50 in Part B), and General Aptitude is given as both 30 questions and 40, the latter being irreconcilable with a 50-question Part B once Mathematics takes 20. Third, Part B is documented to mix MCQ, MSQ (multiple-select), PCQ (preferential-choice) and NAQ (numerical-answer) formats, and no source states which of these the 20 Mathematics questions use, so this mock's uniform four-option MCQ format is an approximation of the real section. The 30-minute timer remains a TakeMockTest practice estimate: Part B's official 90 minutes covers Mathematics and General Aptitude jointly, and no official Mathematics-only duration is published.
