National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA) Syllabus

I am thinking to do B.Arch Program from Best College of India. So my sister informed me that I have to appear in National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA). Give me detailed syllabus of this Entrance Exam. Firstly I want to see its detailed syllabus then I can apply for National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA). Also provide me its offline application form to apply.

I want the syllabus of National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA) Exam for preparation so can you provide me?
