NMAT Analysis (2008) – MBA 2009-11Executive Summary:
As expected NMAT-2008 did not have any surprise. Paper pattern was similar toNMAT-2007. Few highlights: The paper consisted a total of 150 questions spreadover three sections. Total Time allotted was 120 minutes. Negative marking was25% of the allotted marks to the questions (Each carrying equal marks).A fundamental doubt can be raised on the type of questions asked in NMAT-2008.IF we consider Quantitative section almost all the questions (60) were based oncalculation and the questions hardly tested one’s aptitude. Similar was the case withthe Language section and the (Intelligence+LR) section as far as type of questionswas concerned.Most of the questions were inspired from a typical BANK-P.O./M-CET paper.
