mathurutsav, i think u r right reguarding NATA being a measure of drawing applitude rather than architectural applitude, but with poor drawing capabilities of aieee students, the standard of colleges like SPA has also deteriorated over time. NATA was founded only to avoid engineering stream students from opting architecture. And SPA has maintained its reputation of the best architectural school of india only because of its exceptional faculty staff and the immense support which the newcomers get from their seniors and passouts, otherwise today even the SPA wouldnt have been THE SPA…
this time, our profession seriously needs an satisfactory enterance test for architecture colleges, which tests the iq of applicants from their level, yet fix some standard of drawing skills simultaneously….
but in the end, truth remains truth………..
………………..SPA ROCKS MANN………………..
