By ExamChamber | Test Pattern, Registration, Preparation Resources
🔍 What is the NAT Test?
The National Aptitude Test (NAT) is a standardized exam organized by the NTS (National Testing Service) Pakistan. It serves as a gateway for admission into undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate programs at NTS-affiliated institutions and Degree Awarding Institutes (DAIs).
Alongside the GAT, the NAT assesses students’ academic knowledge and aptitude through structured Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs). For students who have just completed intermediate exams, the NAT Test may seem challenging — but ExamChamber provides smart guidance and up-to-date resources to make preparation easier.
🏫 Why is NAT Important?
- University Admission Gateway: Many top-ranking universities require a NAT score for BS-level admissions.
- Broad Opportunity Spectrum: NAT opens doors across multiple disciplines and universities.
- Knowledge Assessment: Tests verbal, analytical, and quantitative reasoning skills.
At ExamChamber, we also provide structured preparation for other entry tests like NMDCAT, ECAT, GAT, HAT, and university-specific exams.
