NMAT 2010 is a computer based test.

NMAT 2010 is a computer based test. Candidates will not have the option of p&p for the test this year.

The NMAT is of 120 minutes and will consist of 120 questions. The questions are multiple choice types where the candidate needs to select one of the correct answers. The sections in the NMAT 2010 are Quantitative Ability, Language Skills and Logical Reasoning. There will be 0.25 marks deducted for every incorrect answer.

NMIMS is implementing CBT with the intention to provide a valid and reliable examination process along with providing numerous benefits to candidates:

• Convenience of scheduling the test on the available dates, times and locations most appropriate for the candidate.
  
  
• Professional exam environment which allows for maximum concentration on the test with limited external disturbances.
  
  
• Reliable, consistent and standardized testing environment, where there is little or no variability between each candidate’s experience.
  
  
• Reduced candidate response errors by presenting questions one at a time.
  
  
• Reduced risk of candidate response errors caused by transferring answers from an exam booklet to an answer sheet.
  
  
• Enhanced Test security due to controls built into the delivery systems that limit questions and test access to authorized individuals.
  
  
• Unbiased test administration and scoring.
  
  
• Timing is rigidly controlled so that every candidate has exactly the same amount of time available within which to complete his test.
  
  

The NMAT 2010 is a computer-delivered non-adaptive test. The questions selected for each NMAT 2010 test paper are determined before the tests are administered. The number of questions and time limit for the test is also predetermined and, under normal administration conditions, are the same regardless of when and where the test is administered. As with non-adaptive testing, the computer displays questions one at a time. Only after a candidate takes an action on the first question, will the computer display the next question.

All candidates who complete the test registration, pay the test fee within the time specified and follow the published test rules, may sit for the NMAT 2010. It is the responsibility of the candidate to understand the eligibility requirements of the management program to which they are applying before deciding to register for the NMAT 2010. If a candidate registers for the test and then determines that they are not eligible for admission to the intended program, no test- fee refund will be entertained.

There will be no changes to the eligibility criteria because of CBT delivery of the NMAT.

To apply for the NMAT 2010 a candidate must hold a Bachelor’s Degree, with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA in aggregate from any of the Universities incorporated by an act of the central or state legislature in India or other educational institutions established under section 3 of UGC Act, 1956, or possess an equivalent qualification recognized by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India. This criterion is applicable for FTMBA only.

The content will not change for the NMAT 2010. The NMAT 2010 will be a multiple-choice question paper that includes Quantitative Ability, Language Skills and Logical Reasoning.

In spite of increased levels of security and additional services, there is a negligible change to the test fee. Candidates testing within India are required to pay a fee of Rs. 1650 for registration. Candidates testing outside India are required to pay a fee of Rs. 5000 for registration.

Candidates, who arrive at the test centre on the specified scheduled test date more than fifteen minutes after the scheduled start time, will not be permitted to take the test under any circumstance and will have to forfeit the full cost of the test.

All candidates will have to go through a mandatory process of biometrics on the test day. Digital photograph and digital fingerprint of each candidate will be taken and kept for records. Any candidate not willing to participate in the biometric process will not be allowed to sit for the test.

The candidate’s name needs to match the primary and secondary document the candidate is carrying for verification.

Note: - In case of candidate name change, the candidate must show relevant legal documentation as proof of name change.

Candidates are not required to carry anything with them other than the confirmation e-mail print out and two IDs for the test. Rough sheets will be provided to the candidate by the invigilator at the test centre

There are no scheduled breaks in the test. However, the candidate can take unscheduled breaks if they may want during the test session. An unscheduled break means a break during which the test clock does not stop. If a candidate chooses to take a break, the actual time spent on the break will be deducted from the time allocated to complete the test. No extra time will be given to complete the test. During the break, the candidate must leave the testing room. Upon re-entering the testing room, the candidate must show a valid ID.

Candidates will not be allowed to access any personal belonging including study material and mobile phone during the breaks they take. Candidates will only be allowed to access food or medication, if any.

During the time allowed for the test, candidates may move freely within the test. Candidates may return to previous questions, change their answers and mark questions that they would like to review before completing the test. However, once the candidate completes the test or the test time is over, the candidate can no longer access any test question.

In the unlikely event of a computer malfunction during the test, the test centre staff will need to reboot the computer. During this reboot, the candidate will not lose any answers already entered. The computer system in the testing centre stores all candidate answers instantly. After rebooting, the computer will come back exactly to where the test had stopped. Please note that the time clock will have stopped when the computer would reboot, and the clock will start as soon as the test is re-started by the candidate.

Candidates will not receive their results on the day they give their test. The results will be published on the NMIMS website on 2^nd March 2010 from 5:00 PM IST onwards.

CBT is a method of administering tests at a pre-determined testing location in which the responses are electronically recorded, assessed or both.

The user interface is designed to minimize reliance on computer skills. Candidates do not need to have prior computer experience to use CBT. At the beginning of the test, each candidate will receive a brief introductory tutorial that will instruct him/her on how to use the computer to answer questions and review responses. No typing skills are needed. The candidate will use the computer mouse to highlight and confirm the response selected as each question appears on the screen. An invigilator will always be available to answer questions regarding navigation throughout the duration of the test.

Experience with computerized testing reveals that it usually takes less time to complete the test. There are no test booklets and answer sheets to manage and no need to transfer answers manually to an answer sheet with CBT.

Pearson VUE, the CBT provider for the NMAT 2010 is fully committed to comply with the Persons with Disability (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 for those candidates with properly documented impairments. Candidates who wish to request an accommodation must fill the details in the online application while registering. Each application will be reviewed on a case-to-case basis and appropriate assistance will be made available at the test centre. Pearson VUE will contact the candidates to ensure proper assistance is provided to them.

Time saving – Candidates generally have to report at a p&p test centre much ahead of the scheduled time for the test, start at the same time and take mandatory breaks and lunches to prevent candidates moving in and out of the testing room at different times. In a CBT environment, conditions are much more flexible. Candidates can report up to half an hour prior to exam time and choose to take breaks as per their convenience.

Flexibility in scheduling – A p&p test is offered at a limited number of test locations on limited test dates, therefore test takers may have to incur high travel costs and forgo opportunities as a result of the limited access to the test event. The greater frequency of administration dates and venues provides test takers with increased access and scheduling flexibility, thus resulting in savings for them.

Exam security – Test security is enhanced due to controls built into the delivery systems that limit questions to be seen by the candidate (candidate can only see one question at a time) and limit test access to authorized individuals only.

Differently bled candidates – Most CBT interfaces are easy to use and they offer a standard testing environment that can be effectively adapted for candidates with special needs.

User interface – User Interface is designed to minimize reliance on computer skills. Candidates are not required to have prior computer experience to use CBT. At the beginning of the test, each candidate receives a brief introductory tutorial that instructs him or her on how to use the computer to answer the questions and review responses. No typing skills are required. As each question appears on the screen, the candidate uses the computer mouse to highlight and confirm the response selected. An invigilator is always available to answer questions regarding navigating throughout the duration of the test.

Format – The CBT is set up in a linear format. In a linear format, the candidate can answer a predetermined number of questions. The test questions do not become increasingly more difficult based on answers to previous questions. Candidates are able to move forward and backward throughout the test, bookmark questions for return and review and change answer selections as many times as necessary during the allotted time before clicking the finish and exit button of the test.

On-site assistance – Adequate on-site support is provided in the event that candidates need assistance during the testing session.

NMAT had three sections – Language skills or Verbal Ability, Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation, and Logical and Reasoning Ability.

Highlights:
The Verbal Ability had 40 questions with 40 marks, the Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation had 60 questions with 60 marks and the Reasoning Ability had 50 questions with 50 marks. The only section which needed more time than usual was the Reasoning Ability section which took up more than the stipulated time.

Overview of the NMAT Paper
Total Time: 120 minutes Total Number of Questions: 150 Number of Options: 5 Negative Marking: 25%
Sections	Number of Questions	Difficulty Level
Verbal Ability	40	Average
Quantitative Aptitude and Data Interpretation	60	Easy
Reasoning Ability	50	Easy
Total	150

Verbal Ability

This section tested the English language skills of the student.

There was only one reading comprehension passage with 15 odd questions. The theme of the passage was a short passage on 'igniting the minds of today’s youth’. 8 marks were devoted to specific detail questions, an absolute delight with most students, as these are assured marks for them. There were two inference based questions. The remaining questions were vocabulary based where synonyms and antonyms were to be picked out from the passage. Some of the synonyms were ‘ignite’, ‘yardstick’, ‘target’ and the antonyms were ‘enormous’, ‘transparency’. An easy tasks indeed, especially for those with a good vocabulary. Another verbal ability question based on the passage was to find the contextual meaning of ‘however’.

Multi-blanks also were easy to counter, as the answer option could be easily found out by eliminating the wrong options. This was a small passage with the theme being ‘unification of technology with spirituality’.

Putting jumbled sentences into a coherent logical sequence was not a tough proposition as the links in each sentence were easy to piece together. This question showed a slight variation in the way it was presented to the student. The questions were framed as per the logical sequencing of the given jumbled sentences.

Rational thinking was all that was required to answer the question on ‘replacing the bolded word with a semantically appropriate word from among the given options’.

In an attempt to end this section on a difficult note there were five sentence corrections which were of moderate difficulty.

Area Tested	Description	Number of Questions	Difficulty Level
Reading comprehension	A short passage on igniting the minds of the Youth. (500-600 words)	15	Easy to moderate
Paragraph Jumbling	-	5	Easy to moderate
Grammatical errors in sentences	-	5	Easy
Cloze Test	-	10	Easy
Replacing semantically appropriate word	-	5	Easy
Total	-	40	Easy

An attempt of 24 questions with 80% accuracy would have made the student achieve the desired score for this section.

Cut-off for this section would have been around 18 marks.

Quantitative Ability, Data Interpretation and Data Sufficiency:

This section was a repeat of the last year’s NMAT paper. Overall difficulty can be termed as easy. If a student was familiar with ‘numbers’ then this section was a cakewalk.

Sums based on simplification were simple to crack provided you were well tuned to methods like CFM and Vedic maths.

Sums based on Data Interpretation did not test the patience of the student as they had a straight forward approach. So too sums based on Data Sufficiency, were easy on the grey cells.

Area Tested	Number of Questions	Difficulty Level
Numbers / Simplification (VBODMAS)	23	Easy
Series	5	Easy to Average
Ratio & Proportion	2	Easy
Partnership	2	Average
Stocks and Shares	1	Average
Simple Interest & Compound Interest	1	Easy to Average
Time and Work	1	Easy
Quantitative Ability (Total)	35	EASY

Area Tested	Number of Questions	Difficulty Level
Data Sufficiency (blood relations, averages, miscellaneous)	5	Easy to Average
Bar Graph ( 1 Caselet )	5	Easy
Caselet type (set theory)	5	Average
Tables ( 2 Caselets )	10	Easy
Data Interpretation Data Sufficiency (Total)	25	EASY

An attempt of 36 questions with 75% accuracy would have made the student achieve the desired score for this section.

Comment: A score of 25+ was possible in this section, while a score of 35+ was considered good.

Cut-off for this section would have beeen around 25 marks.

Reasoning Ability

This section focused mainly on sums based on matching, arrangement, data verification, coding- decoding, logical reasoning etc. A sedate and traditional approach was followed in this section. The inherent capabilities of the students were tested with no tricky questions to flounder them. No doubt a time consuming section.

Area Tested	Number of Questions	Difficulty Level
Analytical reasoning based on Circular arrangement and Matching.	10	Easy to Average
Data Sufficiency (Arrangement-1 Miscellaneous-4)	5	Easy to Average
Data Verification (Decision Making)	5	Easy
Logical Reasoning	5	Easy to Average
Mixed String	5	Easy
Coding-Decoding	1	Easy
Statement / Conclusion	5	Easy to Average
Mathematical Operation	1	Easy
Coded blood relations	4	Easy
Odd man out	2	Easy
Miscellaneous	7	Easy
Total	50	Average

An attempt of 22 questions with 75% accuracy would have made the student achieve the desired score for this section.

Comment: A score of 16 was possible in this section, while a score of 26+ was considered good.

Cut-off for this section would have been around 16 marks.

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, NMAT 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.
