The National Aptitude Test (NAT) 2009, conducted by the Society for Research & Development in Education (SRDE), Delhi, offers a standardized platform for students seeking admission to undergraduate (NAT-UG) and postgraduate (NAT-PG) management and allied programs. The test evaluates candidates' aptitude for pursuing management, vocational, and professional courses, helping institutions identify suitable students based on their skill sets. While SRDE provides this common platform, it is important to note that the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) does not recognize NAT as an admission test for management institutions, as confirmed in an official letter available on their website.

Open to Indian students at the undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) levels. Candidates from all academic backgrounds and categories—General, SC, ST, OBC, EBC, EWS, PwD, and DNT—are eligible to apply. There are no specific income or marks criteria mentioned for NAT 2009, but applicants must meet the academic qualifications required for their desired program.
