NAT - National Aptitude Test

National Aptitude Test (NAT) aims to assess the verbal, quantitative, and analytical abilities that have been attained over a period and that are not necessarily related to any field of study.

Test Overview

NAT is often required for admission in public sector colleges/universities for bachelor's and master's degree programs. The NAT Test is designed to help graduate school admission committees assess the qualification of applicants to their programs. Any accredited graduate or professional school, or any department in a university, may require or recommend that its applicants take the test.

The test consists of four sections, and you must take the entire exam during a single administration. The test is offered four times a year. For more information on test dates, visit the official NTS website: www.nts.org.pk.
