The National Association of Students of Architecture, commonly referred to as NASA, is one of the largest communities of architectural students in Asia. Over 120 colleges of the architectural community are members of this organization. Every year NASA witnesses participation from various colleges in countries under SAARC in its annual conventions. Architects across the SAARC nations have an opportunity to interact with each other and come up with productive solutions. NASA provides an interactive platform for students all over the country by holding conventions both at the national and zonal levels. Colleges all over India compete for the prestigious trophies which cover various aspects of architecture. The ideas that materialize during this conglomeration are also used to provide technical assistance to the economically backward sections.

Annual Conventions

NASA holds annual conventions which are the highlight of the organization. The first ever convention was held during the academic year of 1957-'58. The whole organization and its conventions are funded by the students themselves along with the respective member college administrations. An annual registration fee according to the number of students in the college is collected which easily amounts well over 1,00,000 (One Lakh - Indian numbering system) (or) 100,000 (One Hundred thousand) and above per college. Various sponsors and associate partners fund for the event. Conventions generally include cultural programmes, on-the-spot competitions, evaluation of sheets done for various trophies and competitions and the prize distribution for winners of different trophies.
