No. It is not necessary that students need to be from premier colleges. You get into a B-school on the basis of your performance in the entrance exams conducted by the B-schools themselves.

MBA, being a master's degree, requires the aspirant to be a graduate. That means, you must have a Bachelor's Degree from any university incorporated by an act of the Central or State government of India, any other educational institution established by an act of Parliament or any institution deemed as such under section 3 of the UGC Act 1956. This also includes any equivalent qualification recognized by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India. Your Bachelor's Degree or equivalent qualification must have covered a minimum of three years of education after completing higher secondary schooling, which is a total of 10+2+3 years.

In simple terms, ICET tests managerial abilities in a candidate through Mathematics and English. This means that you will be required to interlink concepts in order to solve a particular problem. Your ability to apply concepts to practical situations is what will be tested.

Once you start taking section tests and comprehensive tests, it becomes important to analyze each of the tests that you take. This will help identify the areas/topics that you are weak at and still need brushing up before you take the next test.

1. Analyze your area-wise/topic-wise performance to identify potential areas for improvement.

2. Work on the identified areas, through determined practice using

Concept Books
Section Tests and Comprehensive Tests

After you take each test, do analyze it well. Analysis would take a lot of time, do not take this as a waste of time, and instead convert this into a learning process. For all correct answers, compare your method with the Explanatory Answers, check if you can attempt it faster and practice the new method, if any. For all incorrect answers, reattempt the questions with no time limits. You need to understand as to why did you make the mistake was it conceptual/silly mistake/incorrect interpretation. Learn from your mistakes and ensure that you do not commit them in future.

The areas that are tested in English are verbal ability, reading comprehension and composition skills. This means that you need to build an overall aptitude in English. Good command over English language is a must in order to succeed in NMAT. In fact, you will observe that you need good English even to attempt the quantitative and data interpretation sections.

Reading a newspaper like The Times of India / The Hindu, a business daily like The Economic Times / Business Standard and political and business magazines should become a daily habit for all NMAT applicants. Further,

Read any section in the newspaper, especially the editorial one.

Timing your-self while reading is important. You should be able to read 200 to 250 words a minute.

Write a summary (about 100 to 150 words) every day on the topic you have read. It will help in building    your thought process which is crucial in NMAT.

Make a note of the difficult words and look up their meanings from the Oxford English dictionary. Try and    maintain a notebook/prepare flash cards that you can go through in your free time.

Reading would also help you keep updated on the events going around thus building on your general awareness that would be helpful during the group discussion and personal interview rounds.

It is very important to be honest in your application forms. Do not fill any information that is untrue. Certain questions in the forms ask you about Career Goals, Strengths, Weaknesses, etc. They are deliberately there to help the B-school know a little bit more about you and are often referred to during the interview. It is highly recommended to keep a photocopy of every form that you fill so that you can revise what you have written before the interview.

Percentile: Percentile indicates student's relative performance position among the total students who took the exam.

Percentage: The % score represents normalized percentage of scores secured by the candidate. It is a relative method of representing the score. This is not the actual % score.

For example: A 99 percentile means that the student is among the top 1 percent of the population who took the exam.

No. One needs to keep in mind that cut-offs are only one of the many evaluation tools that the B Schools uses to shortlist candidates. The other prominent factors are past academic performance, work experience if any, extra curricular activities and achievements etc.

Work experience is not mandatory criteria for making it to any B-Schools. However, having work experience does add to your profile. None the less, you need to prove your worth at the time of the GD/PI rounds. This implies that the panel needs to be convinced about what you have learnt at the job and contributed positively to the organization. The way you present yourself and your approach towards the questions plays a vital role in the outcome of your interview. Remember, you will be pitched against the best minds during the GD/PI rounds. So you need to be at your best to make sure you get the final call.

The duration of the paper is 3 hours.
