Is NMAT Really Worth It?

The CAT Fever is gripping students and they seem to have buried themselves in books and practice of question papers to power up their preparation. While it is known that out of the 2 Lakh estimated applicants writing the exam a low percentage of students would be able to make it to their desired destination, it does not have to serve as a demotivator in the line of so many other options available currently.

Conducted by the Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies in Mumbai, the Nmat (NMIMS Management Aptitude Test) is one of the alternate exams that are available for various students across to attempt in the face of exams like CAT or MAT being very competitive. Accepted by schools of repute like UPES, VIT Vellore and IBS Hyderabad, NMAT is more student friendly and offers candidates certain advantages.
