So why one should take NMAT Exam, what’s different than CAT?
- Enables Your Best Performance: Imagine of having no fear of answering a question if you have a doubt that it could be incorrect as Voila NMAT doesn’t have any negative marking. All the sections are given equal weightage and most importantly it’s an adaptive exam. The more questions you answer correct more difficult it becomes.
- Plays to Your Strengths: One can choose the section order in the way he/she wants, Quants is boring, let’s keep it for last! A number of prep guides and sample question papers are available online unlike CAT where you have to worry the difficulty level best on which IIM is preparing the paper.
By the way this year (2025) CAT paper is being taken care by IIM, Kozhikode. So, be prepared for some good Quants Questions.
- Provides Flexibility: No worries and sleepless nights worrying about the exam results, NMAT scores are available instantly after the exam. Also, you have 3 lives like mario, where you can take 3 attempts if you feel you can do better.
ATTENTION!
NMIMS or Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies only accepts NMAT Scores from the 1st Attempt ONLY, so my dear MBA Aspirants don’t get too excited after reading about the 3 attempts. Get prepared well and make sure you give your best in the 1st Attempt itself. Be cool as you have the flexibility to choose a date from almost 40 days of the exams.
