NMAT 2024: Key Features
Owing to the computer-adaptive nature of NMAT, its questions are selected based on the candidate's performance in the previously answered questions.
All the questions in the exam are of Multiple Choice Types (MCQ).
There is no negative marking in NMAT exam. So, the candidate can attempt most of the questions instead of skipping them by using their calculated guess without any fear of penalties for every wrong answer.
One of the distinctive features of the NMAT 2024 Exam Pattern is that the Test Taker can choose the order of sections. But, you are required to follow the chosen order all through the exam.
Each of the three sections of the NMAT 2024 Exam is individually timed. Therefore, the candidate must complete the respective sections within the allotted time
Another unique feature of the exam pattern is the Uniform Marking System. For every right answer, 1 mark is rewarded, and there will be no penalty for un-attempted questions.
However, if one candidate closes a section after completing it they will not be able to review it again. Therefore, candidates must review each section within the allotted time.
In case a candidate completes the section before the section-time gets over, the balance time of the given section is not added to the next
section(s). The next section has its own time limits and needs to be completed in the allotted sectional time only.
The major advantage of NMAT is that the aspirant can take the NMAT 2024 exam three times in a given admission cycle. By this, candidates
can improve their score to get admissions to the top B-schools.
Also, the candidate gets the opportunity to schedule the test date, time, and test centre location at his/her convenience.
