NMAT 2020 Exam Pattern Changes

Attention! NMAT 2020 aspirants. NMAT 2020 Exam is conducted by Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC). They have announced the exam dates and major changes in the NMAT 2020 exam pattern. While the sections remain same, the pattern and marking scheme has been revamped.

The NMAT 2020 Exam will be delivered over a period of 75-day window. The exam dates are between 4th November 2020 till 30th January 2021.

Some of the unique features of the exam that help candidates perform better, assess their performance and play to their strengths with added convenience and flexibility this year are:

  • Long testing window
  • Equal weightage to all sections and no negative marking
  • 108 questions instead of 120 questions while exam duration remains 120 minutes
  • Two retake opportunities to improve score
  • Instant score preview and official score card within 48 hours for Candidates and Schools
  • Testing options at test center with social distancing norms & online proctored at home
  • 52 conveniently located testing centers across 62 Indian Cities & 4 international centers

Overall, there are changes in the:

  1. Number of questions under each section- This will impact the difficulty level of questions.
  2. Time allotted for each section – this will impact the strategy while answering questions.
  3. The marking scheme so far only mentions the score ranges. The individual scoring pattern yet to be announced – We speculate that the type of questions (TITA may be introduced) may change.

The changes in comparison to previous year are as follows:
