NMAT 2015 Exam Analysis

In the first couple of days of NMAT a few students have had a disaster hence let us start with a couple of things that you need to ensure:

  1. Carry two different ID proofs (as mentioned by you while applying for NMAT) along with their photo copies to your test centre. You are supposed to carry your Appointment Confirmation Letter along with your Admit Card. Do not take this lightly as even if the authorities allow you to appear in the exam (without any of these), you would lose your peace in the process just before the exam.
  2. Reach the test center in time. The time mentioned in the Admit Card is NOT the reporting time it is the time at which the test is supposed to start. Do reach the test centre at least 30 minutes prior to this given time. Please call the centre people at the given telephone number (in your admit card), if you encounter any difficulty in locating the centre.

Now over to the exam…

Overview: In MBA entrance tests we are all used to leaving a few questions unattempted because of negative marking but there is NO negative marking in NMAT hence you should mark an answer to all the 120 questions. NMAT has sectional time limits and when you are left with exactly 5 minutes in any of the sections, a pop-up appears to tell you that you are left with exactly 5 minutes in the section. You cannot proceed further without shutting this pop-up. A this stage please mark an answer to all the unattempted questions barring the couple of questions for which you would still have some time to solve. Please bear in mind that NMAT has sectional cutoffs too.Click here to read Complete NMAT 2015 Exam Analysis

    • Rashika, your LS score is fine and you will clear the cutoff. NM Bang and Hyd calls are certain. Start your PDP prep right away.

  40. Hi Sir,

    Total : 203

    Do I stand a chance for a call from nmims Mumbai or Bangalore ?

    Sir do they consider overall profile or only nmat score for making the call ?

    How good is nmims Bangalore ?

    • Deeksha, call from NM Mumabi is unlikely but calls from the others should happen. Calls are based on the NMAT score only.
      NMIMS Blr is a decent institute and should be considered.

  43. Sir my score is :

    quant :73
    language skills: 54
    logical reasoning: 63

    total :190 .

    is there any chance to get a call from any nm campus??
    and I didn’t understand how can someone get a score of 73 in quant ( as it is not a multiple of 3 )

  50. Sir,
    Does nmat score increase with attempts ?
    My 1st attempt score was 180 (window 2)
    I’ve already appeared for 2nd and 3rd attempt. Results are not out yet.

  51. Sir,

    I scored 88% in SSC 80% in HSC 77% in Graduation
    I have 5 months of work experience.

    If i score 220 in Nmat is there any chance of getting a call from NMIMS mumbai??

  52. Sir my NMAT scorecard is as :-

    QS – 65
    LS – 65
    LR – 61
    Total – 191

    Can I expect a call from any of the three campuses among Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad?

  53. HI sir,

  54. Sir,
    Will there be any difference in Window score (posted after 15 days of test) and final scores ( will be posted after the end of all windows?
    And also with a score of 187, is there any chance of getting call from any of the nmims?

  55. Sir, my nmat score is 197
    QA-69
    LS-58
    LR-70

    Can i get call from bangalore and mumbai?
    In my form i only filled pgdm, mba core and mba hr. In that Case can i not get other specializations in mumbai campus?

    • Harshita, NM Bang call will happen, NM Mumbai will not happen. Only the specialisations that have been filled in the form will be considered.

  56. Overall Score : 185
    QA : 63
    LS : 59
    LR : 63
    Any chance of getting 210+ if I give re-take? How should i improve to get 210 with my current score?
    Thanks in advance 🙂

    • Hitesh, the startegy lies in revising using the test gym and also by taking NMAT mocks. This is more or less the max you can do in the remaining time.

  57. sir,
    am i at a huge disadvantage against someone who scored 207 while i scored 200 in the gdpi rounds for nmims banglore?

  58. I got 208 marks

    Should I expect a call from NMIMS mumbai?

    • Archit, it is borderline as the cutoff is usually around 207 and 208. Hope that you do get a call. Work hard for XAT and SNAP.

    • Sir, I got

      85- QUANT
      66- LR
      60 – English

      Overall – 211

      Can I get a call from NMIMS, Mumbai ?

      Will My 93.6 (10th), 94.83(12th), 85.5(Engg) and 18 month exp help in this regards ?

  59. Hello sir,
    My nmat 2015 scores: QA-69, LR-73, LS-60, OA-202…… Any chances for nmims mumbai call or should i retake ? also is overall best scored considered or best sectional scores considered? TIA

    • Mansi, yes NM Mumbai call will happen at this score. QA score seems borderline but you’ll clear the cutoff most likely.

  61. Gen female candidate with 2 yrs work ex.
    Secured 207 with the foll. break-up:
    LR-61
    LS-70
    QS-76
    Is a call from NM Mumbai possible with the scores?

    • Mithi, 207 is borderline for NM Mumbai. If you have a retake left you may take it. Otherwise the better way would be to focus on SNAP and XAT.

  62. Hello GP,

    My NMAT scores are :
    QS-77
    LR-72
    LS-66
    overall – 215/360

    Can a NMIMS(Mumbai) call be expected on these scores?
    ( Also, my IIFT score, based on CL answer key is 49.5…Considering high cutoffs, could an IIFT call be possible)

    Thanks in advance! 🙂

  63. hi sir
    my nmat score card is as follows:

    QS- 76
    LS- 67
    LR- 67
    OA- 210

    will I get a call from nmims Mumbai?

  70. Hi sir,
    I scored 187 in nmat
    Qa-60
    Ls-61
    Lr-66
    I am taking a retake
    Any suggestions to make it through Mumbai?

    • Nausheen, biggest improvement is required in QS where you can possibly increase by 20 marks. LR and LS can also go up 6-8 marks each.

  72. sir i hv got 184 in nmat.
    is der any chance of getting nmims hyderabad or bangalore?
    or should i go for retake?

  73. Hello GP,
    QA: 71; LS: 66; LR: 65
    It doesn’t make me eligible for NM Mumbai so I have scheduled my retake.
    How do I improve my score in QA (it’s supposed to be one of my strong areas though it doesn’t appear to be the case here).
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank You!

    • Ashutosh, If your problem is low attempts in QA due to lengthy DI then you can possibly try this method.
      Most of the students have reported easy single questions and time consuming DI sets hence you can could attempt the QA singles first and then move to the DI sets. Since the NMAT platform forces your to move from question to question, if you come across a DI set, just mark an answer to these questions and move on. Do not down the question numbers of DI sets. Once you complete the QA questions, you can go back and solve the DI sets.

  74. SIR ,I HAVE SCORED 142 MARKS IN NMAT
    ACADS- 10TH-77.8
    12TH-76.7
    GRADUATION-83.0
    NO WORK EXPERIENCE
    CATEGORY-SC
    can i get a call from gud colleges under nmat ??

    • Rohini, NMAT colleges do not have reservation hence a call is not possible at 142. Suggest that you focus on CAT and SNAP both of which have colleges with reservation for SC candidates.

  77. I appeared for NMAT last saturday but i am not sure if i will clear the cut off score. So, if i appear for a retake, which score would be considered…the best between the two or the retake score…..i am asking about NMIMS mumbai??

  78. I have got 212 overall (QA: 84, LS: 56, LR: 72)

    Work-ex: 2 yrs (ongoing), Marketing (Automobile MNC)

    CGPA (B.Tech Mechanical): 7.97
    12th: 93.8%
    10th: 91.14%

    What are my chances? How should I go on from here?

    • Amit, your work ex and academics give you an edge in the interview which will determine the final selection. Start PDP immediately after CAT.

    • Ankit, the LS sectional cutoff has been 55 or lower in the last few years and hence a retake may not be required unless you want to be very safe.

  80. Hi Sir,

    My NMAT 2015 score:

    QA – 75
    LS – 59
    LR – 75
    Total – 209

    What are the chances of getting a call from NM Mumbai?

      • from session 2016-18 onwards nnmims mumbai will have 30% of its seats reserved for girl candidates. so i guess the cutoff will be higher this time. would like it if gp sir could give an idea on the expected cutoff for gen.male candidates this year.

        • Rahul, girls are typically 25% of the batch in NMIMS hence I do not think that the 30% reservation for girls will change things significantly.
          As per its 2015 Placement Report, the batch had 114 girls out of total batch strength of 447.

  81. Nmat 2015,

    Quants: 76
    Verbal: 66
    Lr: 74
    Overall 216. Will these scores be enough to clear sectionals or should I go for a retake.

    QS – 77
    LS – 67
    LR – 73

    Do you recommend that I go in for a retake?

    • Abhishek, you will clear the sectional cutoffs and with a total of 217 you will gt a NM Mumbai call. I don’t think that a retake is required.

    • Akshay, while your QS score is on the edge most probably you will get a call from NM Mumbai, however if you want to be sure then consider going for a retake. Call conversion will now primarily depend upon your interview performance.

  88. Sir I have 82% in 10th, 64% in 12th, 55% in BE. I scored 194 in NMAT (QA-68, LS-66, LR-60). I am thinking of taking a retake. Will I get a call with such an academic record, even if I clear all cutoffs in my retake?

    • Lalit, NM interview calls are based only on the NMAT score so stop worrying about the profile and focus on getting a 210+ in your retake.

  89. Dear Sir

    My NMAT OA score is 208.

    QS – 78
    LS – 61
    LR – 69

    I have 3 years of experience in the IT industry after my B.E. Do you think I should go for a retake to improve my chances of a call from NMIMS, Mumbai or this score will suffice? Since I have substantial work experience, will that make my chances better or worse(as I understand, some colleges prefer less work experience)? Also, I understand the best overall score (and sectional scores for that attempt are taken into consideration). Is that correct?

    Best Regards

    • VR, yes you should go for a retake because at 208 you might miss out on a NM Mumbai call.
      You are right, NM goes for the best overall score.

  91. hi sir,

  92. Sir could you tell me the cut offs for NMIMS bangalore and hyderabad (PGDM ) program…….does it have all the specialisations which we have in a proper mba program? Are the cut offs for pgdm program in bangalore n hyderabad low as compared to mba in nmims mumbai.

  93. Sir, I have taken the date of NMAT on 19th November… And I’m thinking of giving the 2nd trial also. And I’m also appearing for SNAP which is on 20th december. So my question is when should I give the 2nd attempt?

  94. HI,
    I got my NMAT score. QS – 80; LS – 67; LR – 72; Overall – 219.
    What percentile does this reflect approximately and how does it stand for the admission?

  95. sir nmat window 1 result is 188 LS-57 LR-65 QA-66..i have already applied for the retake..but will this score grant me an opportunity for nmims bangalore and hyd campus?

    • Anik, it is really important to score around 210-220. You have come a log way already just analyse the mocks that you’ve already taken. Revise concepts if necessary.

  98. Hello Sir,
    Are the CL NMAT mocks at the same difficulty level as the actual NMAT paper…?
    Also Sir…i hav booked my slot for the first attempt on Nov. 2….so if anything goes wrong…when should I give my second attempt?

    • Dushyant, expect a similar difficulty level in NMAT. The next attempt should be after CAT in the first week of December.

  99. hello sir, i have scheduled my NMAT first attempt on 15th of Nov. My idea was to give one attempt before cat and by 1st dec once i receive my nmat score I shall apply for second attempt if required. Now the problem is that its showing Dec slots already full right now.

    my question is – Do these slots open up for second attempt. I mean are they blocked(reserved) only for students who wish to give their second or third attempt.

    please help me,
    thank you

      • Hello sir, I have booked my slot, for the first attempt of NMAT 15 ,for the date 15 Nov 2015. My plan is to give the Nmat first attempt before CAT and second after CAT.But currently only 3-4 dates of Dec seem to be available with all others booked or blocked. Hence my idea of next attempt after CAT in Dec.is a worry.

        my question is – Are any slots in Dec.blocked for second attempt candidates and would be visible to only those who are done with their first attempt and are scheduling for their second or third attempt.

        please help.thank you.

  101. Sir,I attempted CL NMAT Mock 1..and got 189..VA-48 ; LR- 71 ; QA- 69 .Any suggestions on how to improve my score to clear possible cutoff?

    • Neel, you need to considerably increase your VA score to get to a 215+. For each and every mock that you take, pay special attention in analyzing the the verbal section. The analysis includes identifying your weaknesses, learning new words, reattempting the RC in a given time limit.

  102. Hello sir,

  103. Hi Sir

    I will be giving NMAT this year so was going through the exam analysis. In the analysis section of CL site i have seen last year Quant was moderate to difficult in this Exam.
    I have purchased Test Gym Adaptive Course which also includes Test Gym Classic in that I have given NMAT sectional Tests in Quantative Skills and I have found the section to be very easy.I have scored 114 out of 144 in the last sectional test I have given.
    My question is whether CL’s NMAT sectionals are of the same difficult of last year NMAT or is it easier than that and if that is the case then where can i practice its sectional tests.
    Really confused about this..as September has already arrived….Please Guide me Sir..

    From
    Ayan

    • Ayan, NMAT sectional tests on the Test Gym Classic have been designed considering the average level of difficulty of NMAT over the last few years. It is good that you have been scoring well in these tests. You may proceed towards solving CAT and other sectional tests which will invariably help you in NMAT as well.

  115. Hi Sir,

  116. Hi Sir,
    I’ve procured an overall NMAT score of 214, with QS = 80, LS = 61 and LR = 73.
    I’ve procured 89.71% in 10th, 91.5% in 12th and 60% in Bcom. And I have no work experience.
    What are the chances of me making through to NMIMS Mumbai?
    Thank you in advance.

  117. hello sir
    I would want to share my nmat score with u 215 qa -81; ls-72 ; lr – 62 . Sir considering the lr section I felt it was tough than my previous attempt , how likely am I able to get a call from nmims mumbai and also do u thing score as 215 can get me call desipte lr being a borderline case, and also can u tell me what was d sectional and overall cut-off when lr cut-off was 65 ..thank u sir

    • Ratan, I think that you will get a call as I do not expect the LR cutoff to increase. Let us hope for the best.
      When the LR cutoff was 65, LS was 55, QA was 72 and total was 210.

  118. NMAT SCORE CARD
    QS(144)-70
    LS(96)-44
    LR(120)-57
    TOTAL(360) -171

    My cat scaled score is 85.25 and Overall -68.54 percentile.

    Is there any chances of getting good colleges from these scores.

    • Anisha, most probably you will. The only area of concern is LR where the cut off last year was 61. Let us hope for the best.

  122. hello sir
    in my 1st attempt of NMAT i got 206; QS:77 ; LS: 59; LR: 70
    2nd attempt : overall 202 QS:81 ; LS: 53 LR: 68
    i haven’t taken a 3rd attempt…

    is there any scope for a call from Mumbai?
    #reallydisappointed 🙁

  123. Hi Sir..Can you please comment whether a score of 63 is sufficient to clear the cut offs in LR for NMAT. My break ups are:

    QA:82
    LR:63
    LS:71

    OA:216

    I know i would be clearing the overall as well as the QA and LS cutoffs for sure , but 63 in LR is a big worry for me..shall i start preparing for the interviews sir?

  124. QS: 76
    LS: 64
    LR : 72
    Overall Score : 212

    How would you rate the performance sir? Is is good enough to secure a call from NM Mumbai?
    Will my acads (Xth: 91, XIIth: 93.2 Grad: 75.8) be of any help in the conversion?
    Also, With 82 attempts in CAT D2S2, average accuracy in mocks being around 75% and expecting better accuracy in the actual paper, what percentile can i expect? Should i go for NITIE?

  125. I scored
    Qs-66
    Ls-57
    Lr-54
    Total – 177
    Window 4, 1st attempt
    In this window, the questions for quant were tough.
    !) Will there be any normalization.?
    2) Will I get a call from any NMIMS
    3) Will I get a flagship program, are the other programs worth doing?

    • J.P chakravarty, these scores are after normalisation only. Calls from any NM program are unlikely below a score of 200.

  126. hello sir,
    sir i really want to raise a serious issue here on this NMAT post..
    NMAT exam fee was 1500rs or 2000rs accrding to choice of college/s..plus with each extra attempt u need 2 pay 1000rs..
    so many students applied for it..but the university and pearson team hs led many of them down through there obnoxious rules..
    we students gave the most important mba entrance exam..CAT and process was so easy..a single id proof..with admit card!
    now i wanna come to the main problem which i very well know not jst me but atleast hundreds or myt thousnds would hv witnessed…sir our goverment sayz aadhar card is the most imp. n valid id proof…bt the uncertainity in rules mentioned by the the university made many students unable to give the exam..or if anyone had the chance for anothr attempt and money is nt a pblm hs gone for anothr attmpt bt paying 1000rs..
    accrdng to them they mean a student must have:
    1.pan card(do we earn n paying tax..so to have a pan card)
    2.driving license(what if sum1 who dnt knw hw 2 drive or jst nt stable to hv a vehicle)
    3.passport(how many amongst the studnts who r jst freshrs..posses one)
    so university means..either u need to be a tax payer..or knw hw to drive or be able enough to travel around having a passport n if u dnt hv any one of dese qualifications..sorry u r nt eligible for r university. SIR..i knw what it feels to travel frm ur city to the test city centre..make ur staying..a exam for which you had been preparing so long..so hard..and in a moment u r said u cn’t give the exam…a long year hard work..time..money is all wasted…n the reason is so vague condition put by them…..i object this sir…n i knw lot of other student have beared the same pain..eithr lost there chance cmpltly or if lucky enough gone for anothr attmpt paying extra…
    sir i humbly request u to file a letter against this mess created by them..because at any case there could have been any solution but must have allowed the studnts to give the exam fat that time..u give us the admit card..appointment letter then why such a fuss in the end..plz sir its not a petty issue…lot of students are involved..i knw throu this platform of urs..u can unite them n force the university to make the necessary compensation…studnts like me hv faith in you sir..u olwz had been there…n if university gets away with this..it would b a real matter of sorrow for many..individually anyone could be washed out but together we can make are stand…

  128. Sir,
    I scored 209 in my attempt at NMAT in the 4th slot
    the break up is as follows –
    QS- 77
    LS- 68
    LR- 64.

    Can you please let me know if I can hope for a NMIMS Mumbai call?

  129. Hello sir!

    I scored a 210 in my first NMAT attempt with sectionals as follows-
    QA-78
    LR-69
    VA-63
    I also too a retake where I scored 216 with sectionals as follows-
    QA-71
    LR-77
    VA-68
    Although my second attempt has a higher overall score the QA seems doubtful. In such a case which score of mine would be considered(since they usually look at a higher overall) and can I expect a call from NMIMS Mumbai ?

  130. Sir,
    I have got 189 marks in my nmat exam
    QA-72
    LS-57
    LR-60
    I compared them with previous year’s cutoff for NMIMS Bangalore(career360.bschool.com) and my sectional marks are above the prev. year’s sectional cutoffs.
    However the overall cutoff as shown in the above mentioned website is 200.
    Should i go for a retake ?? What about the possibility of a call from bangalore campus??

    • Sameer, yes you should go for a retake, target an overall score of 210 to get a call from NM Mumbai and 205 for Bangalore /Hyderabad.

  131. Hi GP,

    I got an overall Score of 201 with QS-75 LS-61 and LR 65 can I expect a call from NM Mumbai or should i retake the test before the window closes???

    • Ankit, go for a retake, your sectional scores are fine but the overall score required for NM Mumbai is likely to be 208 hence target 210+.

  132. Respected Sir,
    I have my NMAT scheduled on 16th november and so I would request you to guide me how to solve NMAT.

      • Respected sir ,
        I have recently given Mock NMAT1 of CL and got a score of 225 with sectional scores as LS-42 QA-96 LR-87
        what target should I keep in mind ?
        Pls guide sir

        • Honey, LS is a problem – you should have at least 55 to clear the sectional cut off, the other two and the overall scores are very good.

          • Respected sir,
            I am not getting the grammar questions correct .Moreover sometimes even vocabulary questions are getting wrong.

            Finally , I would like to ask how should we attempt this section i.e.
            1st vocab
            2nd analogies
            3rd FIB
            4th sentence correction
            5th other grammar ex
            6th RCs
            or some other way?

  133. Hello Sir,

    My OA score is 212 with 77 in QA,63 in LR and 72 in LS. Is this enough to get a call from NMIMS Mumbai?
    I also have 18 months of work-ex.
    I am unable to schedule a retake due to unavailability of slots.
    What are my chances sir?

    • Sahil, your sectional scores are fine but the overall score at 208 is on the edge. Hopefully you will make it to the next stage of NM Mumbai.

  135. Sir,
    I have obtained 215 in my second attempt with 82 in QA, 62 in LS, and 71 in LR. Do you think its sufficient to get a call from Mumbai campus? I have 2 years of work experience (dont know if it counts).

  137. My nmat score is 204 QS-80 LS-59 LR-65.
    Is there any chance i can get NMIMS Mumbai with this score.?
    Is PGDM of NMIMS (Bangalore) good?

  139. LS- 57 QS-85 LR-72 total- 214. Sir, should I take a retake or is it a safe score for mumbai campus? I am a bit worried about the LS score .

    • My acads
      10th – 94.8
      12th – 92.2
      Btech – 77.65 (till 6th sem)
      If possible tell me about call as well as convert chances.

  140. NMAT WINDOW 3 RESULTS:
    Q:LS:LR :: 80 65 81 overall 226.

    not so confident about GD/PI..
    can i convert with an average GD/PI? also, quant score of 80 wont be borderline, will it?
    thanx a lot in advance sir…

    • Rishabh, very good score, start preparing for the next stage. Quant cutoff is likely to be around 72-73. With over 45 days to the personality tests, you have sufficient time to prepare and ensure conversion.

  141. Sir my OA-218 QA-92 LS-60 LR-66.

    Sir, what are my chances for NMIMS Mumbai call and conversion chances?

    • Piyush, you should get interview call from NM Mumbai, your interview performance will play a significant role in conversion.

    • Meenakshi, with 69 in QS and overall 205 NM Mumbai is unlikely. Your QS score could be an issue for NM Bangalore & Hyderabad also, let us hope for the best.

  143. Sir, I got 208, Qa : 77, LS : 66, LR : 65.. I expected better score in LR but bygones are bygones.. I just wanted to ask what was the previous years cut off for NMIMS mumbai? Was it 208 or 209 and did someone actually converted with such borderline scores?

    • Kunal, the cutoff last year was 208. I have not kept track of the final conversion but usually a good performance in the next stage can lead to a conversion. Give your best shot and let us hope for the best.

  144. GP Sir,

    3rd Window results are out today.

    I got 213 in total:
    QA- 81
    LS- 64
    LR- 68

    10th- 85
    12th- 72
    Btech- 64
    40 months work ex.

    Have i cleared it Sir? Do I stand a chance?
    Please advise. Confused and worried!! 🙁

  145. Dear sir,
    My overall Nmat score is 205;
    QS-71
    LS-66
    LR-68.
    I know nmims Mumbai is out of question, but is it meeting the cut-off of nmims bengalure / hyderabad?

  147. Sir my score in NMAT is:
    QA=75, LS=71 ,LR=69, overall=215
    Can I expect a call from NMIMS Mumbai? Is my QA score fine, or shud I go for a retake?

    • Sonal, your QA score is on the edge but with slightly difficult QA the cut off is unlikely to increase. My guess is that you will clear the sectional and overall cut offs but if you want to be safe go for a retake.

  148. Sir my NMAT 2014 overall score and sectional scores are :
    Overall : 216
    QA: 77
    LS : 61
    LR : 78
    I am a little worried about my QA score . Will i be able to clear the sectionals and overall cutoff for NM Mumbai or should i go for a reattempt?
    Regards
    Kunal

    • Kunal, your QA is fine, I think you will clear its sectional cutoff. The other sections and overall score are also safe and you should get a call from NM Mumbai.

  149. Hello Sir,
    i am a CL , Pune student .My score in 1st NMAT attempt is 200. My second and last attempt is on 7th Dec. I am giving TIME and Testfunda NMAT Mocks.In one of the TIME mocks I scored highest 240. However I am scoring in range of 180 in Testfunda Mocks. Is Testfunda’s difficulty level same as that of actual NMAT…What should i do to improve in remaning 4 days….

    • Ankita, unfortunately I have not seen TIME or TF NMAT mocks and hence cannot comment on their level of difficulty. In the remaining 2-3 days just revise the mocks that you have taken.

  150. Hi Sir,
    My Nmat score is OA 207
    QS- 82
    LS 59
    LR 66
    I cant not give a retake because there are no more slots left for the centers I searched. Will I be able to get an interview call from Mumbai Campus?

    • Prakhar, your sectional scores are fine but the overall score is on the edge, last year the cut off for Mumbai was 208 and hopefully it will fall by a couple of marks as the papers are slightly difficult this year. Let us hope for the best.

  151. Sir, i solved all my nmat mocks while preparing for my first nmat attempt. How do u suggest i should proceed with the preparation of my second attempt? Do u know of any free websites online that provide previous year papers or mocks?

  152. Sir, I appeared for NMAT in the second window and my score is 214. But my score in quant is just 74. So, will I clear the sectional cutoff in quant and the overall cutoff for the Mumbai campus?
    And in the case that I do, will I have to perform exceptionally well in the GD and PI or they don’t consider these scores during the successive stages once the cutoff is cleared?

    • Ankit, for NM Mumbai your overall score is not a problem but 74 in QS is on the edge and it could go either way. Let us hope for the best.

    • BD, go for a retake, NMIMS cutoff in the last few years has been around 208 and that of Bangalore/Hyderabad have been over 200.

  155. Hi sir. I have got 214 in NMAT with marks in QA=84 , Ls=62 and LR=68. what are my chances of converting to NMIMS mumbai. I heard that one need to score atleast 220 to convert to NMIMS mumbai

    • Nikhil, you will get a call from NM Mumbai and can also convert the call because conversion is primarily a function of your performance in the interview and group discussion and students in the past have converted at scores less than 215 also.

  156. Sir I scored
    Ls 62
    Lr 72
    Qa 83
    Oa 217
    Would I clear the cut offs for sure ?
    My exam schedule is jam packed but do not want to take any risk

    • Bhavna, in the last 3 years the NM Mumbai cutoffs have been less than or equal to 55 for LS, 65 for LR, 76 for QA and 210 for overall so you should not have a problem and do not need to go for a retake.

  157. Hello Sir,

    I secured 220 marks in NMAT. Individual sectional marks are:

    QA- 85
    LR- 77
    LS/VA- 58

    Is there a chance of getting a call from NMIMS?

    Thanks & Regards,

  158. Dear Sir,
    As per Cl key i have got 41.5 in IIFT 2014 with breakup
    Section1(QA+DI)-16.67
    section2 GK-3.33
    section 3(RC+VA)-10.83
    section 4 LR-10.67
    overall -41.5
    waht are my chances of shortlist and what score is considered as pretty good to convert iift

    • HArsha, you should get interview call from IIFT. The biggest component in the final selection is for the interview process and hence you can convert at low written scores also but with a good interview.

  159. Hi Sir,
    My name is harsha and i scored 211 in nmat 2014 with break up as follows
    QS-79
    LS-61.
    LR-71
    overall -211.Should i go for a retake.
    generally with how much score it will be easy to get in(although it depends on interview).please guide me sir

    • Sriharsha, a retake is not required, you should get a call from NM Mumbai. Student have made it to the final list with a score of 209-210 but as you said it is the GD and Interview that are the most important.

  160. Hello sir,

    I scored 98.5% in CMAT 1st test with 17% in GK (way below cut off). It would be really helpful if you could provide me some guidance regarding any chances for a good college in marketing or HR with this score.

  161. Sir,

    I have scored 212 in the NMAT exam. QA-84, LS-58, LR-70

    I want to know if this score is good enough to convert the call or not..?

  162. Hello sir,
    I have scored 212 in nmat with 77 in QA, 72 in LS, and 63 in LR. Should I go for a retake? And, just in case I get a higher overall score but lower sectionals, which score will be considered for the final evaluation?
    I am aiming for nmims Mumbai.

    • Tanushree, you have very good scores in QS and LS but 63 in LR is a borderline case. You could make it to the short list of NM Mumbai but to be safe I suggest that you go for a retake and ensure over 65 in LR.

  163. Hello Sir

    It was great talking to you on 22nd evening at CAT centre. It really boosted me for IIFT. Sir as requested will you please come up with a strategy or may be a video for post CAT change in strategy for XAT preparation? It would be very helpful your analysis and approach that we should follow in last 35 days or so.

    Regards

    Avishek

  164. Sir i’m getting approx 216-220 in CL Mocks for NMAT. VA-55+, QA-75+ LR-85+. How much can I expect in NMAT ? Also I want to know how close these mocks are to the real exam.

    Thanks.

  165. Hi Sir ,

    I have my NMAT on 7th Dec.In NMAT as we have to attempt questions sequentially(cant skip a question) , does it mean that after we have gone through all the questions of a particular section , again we have to go through sequentially or will we be allowed to the question number of our choice?

    Regards ,

    Binay

    • And Sir , I am pretty confident of clearing the LR and LS cutoffs.Now that the level of QA has increased(read it in your analysis/blog) , what should be done for it?will going through all the Moc CATS help?Please answer both the questions Sir..

    • Binay, yes you have to attempt the questions sequentially but you can move to the next question without marking an answer to the previous one. You can use the review pane to move directly to a question.

  166. Hi GP Sir,
    I got 208 in NMAT 2014.
    LS – 59
    QA – 79
    LR – 70
    Will i get a call from NMIMS Mumbai? Or should i consider a retake?

    • Yash, your sectional scores are fine but with a total of 208 you are on the edge, my expectation of cutoff for NM Mumbai is 205-208. You can consider a retake with a target score of 210+

  167. Sir,
    I scored 210 in NMAT QS:74 LS:77 LR:59 🙁
    Xth 91 Xth 92.5 Grad 64.22
    Any chances of getting a call for core MBA Mumbai Campus?
    I know I should give a retake but there are no slots open in December sir.
    Your expert advice would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Gaurav

    • Gaurav, go for a retake s 59 is LR is likely to be below the cutoff. Target a score of 65+ in this section. In QS too a couple of extra marks will be helpful.

  168. Sir, I have got total score = 209, with sectionals as below:

    QA 78
    LS 71
    LR 60

    I am hoping for Mumbai campus. Should I go for a retake?

  169. Sir,
    My name is Sandip Roy. My nmat scores are
    QS – 70
    LS- 71
    LR- 74
    Total – 215
    What are my chances for the NM Mumbai campus….Should i go for a retake ???

    • Sandip, despite a very good overall score you could miss NM Mumbai because of your QS score (70) hence you should go for a retake. Target a score of 75+ in QS.

  170. Hi,
    My score is QS – 76, LS – 63, LR – 69, Total – 208

    You had mentioned in the analysis post that the cutoff would be around 205-208.
    Should I go for a retake?

    Thanks,
    Dhruv

    • Oindrilla, yes you should go for a retake. You have a good LS score but the other two can increase by 3-4 marks each and hence the overall should be more than 210 for a call from NMIMS Mumbai.

  172. sir I have got 96.38 percentile , 218 total in CMAT.
    is there any chance of admsn in K J somaiya or any other good institute ?

  173. Hello sir,
    i have my nmat on 23rd november, i have taken a mock nmat n have scored 213 in it…but isnt the CL mock very easy or the difficulty level is the same as the actual paper?

  174. Hello sir,
    I have scored 96.20%ile in CMAT sep 2014. Score- 217, Rank-1644. What are the possible colleges in which I should apply?

  175. Hello GP sir,
    What are my chances with NM Bangalore .. My OA score is 199 with QS 73 LS 61 and LR 65.
    Also is the Bangalore campus worth it ?

    • Hillas, Your sectional are fine but last year the cut off for NM Bangalore was 205 hence a call is unlikely at 199. It is a good back up option.

  176. Hello sir,
    I took my NMAT on 18th oct and my results are out.
    I got 75, 50 and 69 in QS, LS and LR sections i.e. a total of 194. I would like to know if there are any chances with this?

    • Rishav, you are unlikely to get a call from any NMIMS campus. You should go for a retake with a minimum target score of 55 in LS, 65 in LR, 75 in QS and a total of 210.

  177. Hello sir
    My overall NMAT score is 223.
    QS-75
    LS-69
    LR-79
    Overall seems fine but QS seems to be a borderline case. Should i go for a retake or will that be enough for the mumbai campus?

    • Karan, I think you will make it to NM Mumbai as I do not expect the cutoff to be more than 75 but since it is a borderline case my suggestion is to go for a retake.

  178. My overall NMAT 2015 score is 209. Section wise breakup is QS-75, LS-56, LR- 78. What are my chances of getting in Mumbai campus?

    • Shivi, you are on the edge. Most probably you will get a call from NM Mumbai at 209 but my suggestion is to go for a retake. Your QS score can go up by 5 marks, the other two are good.

  179. Hello sir,
    I received an interview call letter from ISBR Bangalore . haven’t heard of it before.
    Is it good? Should I appear for the interview?

    • Shushank, NM does not have reservations hence you will not get any advantage. Your overall score of 204 and LS score of 51 are both below the expected cutoff for NM Mumbai and hence you should consider a retake with a target overall score of over 210 and LS score of over 55.

  181. Hi Sir,

    My NMAT result states that I have scored the following

    QS – 76
    LS – 61
    LR – 73
    Total – 210
    Last year cut off was 209. Should I go for a retake?

    • Chinmaya, apologise for the previous response where I mixed up LR and LS score, please ignore.
      I expect the overall cutoff to be around 208 so a retake may not be required. I think you will get a call from NM Mumbai.

  182. sir i have scored 98.2 percentile in cmat sep2014
    what are the colleges i can get with this score
    i am an engineering student in final year from delhi

  183. hi sir. my fst question is regrding cmat i hv 99.24 in cmat dis year suggest me a gud option thru cmat.secondly sir i wntd 2 knw d range of marks out of 300 in cat 2014 which wud b enf 2 get around 98%tile? i knw its a new pattern so it wud b difficult fr u 2 predicts a range of mrks bt jst giv me an idea if u can

    • Aman, the top institutes through CMAT are GIM and KJ Somaiyya and both are possible. Thrugh DTE you should get all institutes except SIMSREE. JBIMS is no longer through DTE and will be taking only CAT and CET scores.

  184. My NMAT scores:
    QS-75, LS-65, LR-71 OA-211
    Will have 20 months exp in TCS by the time of CD/PI.Chances for final conversion? I am aversed to taking a retake due to packed schedule–CAT on 16th, IIFT on 23rd, SNAP on 21st Dec etc.

    • Ankur, in my estimate a retake is not required since your sectional and overall scores are more than the cutoffs of last two years. You should get a call from NM Mumbai.

      • Thank You Sir for replying. I will concentrate on my CAT and IIFT and think about NM Mumbai when(if) I get the call in Feb

  185. Sir,
    when can we expect score for nmat I have taken my test on 26th nov, and im planing to retake the test and I have been consistently getting 220+ in mock nmat exam on cl. Is there any strategy to crack di and rc . I have got 3 rc 15 questions and 20 questions in di 4 sets.

  186. Sir,
    I have scored OA:213 with QS-86,LS-56,LR-71 in NMAT 2015.

    My LS score seems to be on borderline. Should i go for a retake as also a higher OA score( >220) will improve my chances,as they give 70 % weightage to NMAT Score?

  187. Sir,
    I got a score of 212 in my NMAT.
    79 in quant
    67 in VA
    66 in LR
    Will I get a call from NMIMS Mumbai.?

  188. Sir,
    My nmat 2015 scores are as follows:
    QS : 74/144 , LS : 75/96 , LR : 69/120
    Total : 218/360

    Do i need to go for a retake or will i clear the cut off for nmims mumbai ?

  189. Sir,
    I scored 87 percentile in cmat, should I apply for the HR programme in XISS?
    Also, I scored 193 in Nmat , is it desirable for NMIMS,bengaluru?

  190. hello sir,
    I scored 211 in NMAT 2014 (according to the result declared today).
    QS-76
    LS-57
    LR-78
    total-211/360.
    is there any chance i would clear the cut-off? or should i go for retest ?

  191. Sir ,My NMAT First slot result just came out .QA- 81,LS -69, LR -62, OA -213 . Is my LR dubious ? I’m in a state of dilemma as to retake or not.

    • Shreya, last year the sectional cutoff for LR was 61 and it has gone as high as 65 in the last three years hence your LR score of 62 is a borderline case. You should consider a retake. You score in the other two sections and overall is fine.

  193. sir,
    i got 96 %tile in MAT (sept 2014). are there any good colleges that i should consider on the basis of MAT? please guide

  194. Sir,

    Have my NMAT tomorrow. I got scores of 225,243 in 2 cl mocks. However in a mock of test funda i got 175 and 170. Please guide.

    Regards
    Govind

    • Govind, I have not seen the Test Funda Mocks so I will not be able to comment on them, In any case you have prepared well and and your scores in CL mocks are good so relax and you will do well in NMAT. All the best.

    • Parul, 166 is a low score in CAMT and will not get you any decent institute. Suggest that you focus on your other MBA entrances.

  198. Sir,
    For the mock NMAT which are available on the sis, I haven’t been able to select my section of preference and i have to solve as guided in the mock.
    Please address this issue.

  199. Greetings GP Sir,I have my NMAT booked for 27 October. I have taken 4 mocks till date:
    NMAT FLT1: LS 66 QA 102 LR 93. Total: 261
    NMAT FLT2: LS 54 QA 57 LR 26. Total: 147
    NMAT FLT3: LS 63 QA 84 LR 87. Total: 234
    MOCK NMAT 1: LS 78 QA 108 LR 81. Total: 267
    How difficult were these mocks in comparison to the actual NMAT?

  200. Sir, my exam is on 22nd Nov. I have just 1 month for exam and I am still struggling with Grammar. I have been preparing independently. Can you suggest a method by which I can improve my score in grammar?

  201. Sir i have given nmat 2014 and couldnt do well in QA bcoz 5 DI sets appeared in my paper contrary to usual 2…Is 5 DI a general trend this year or mine was an exception? I need this so that I can prepare for retake…And are retakes tougher or of the same level?

    • Palak, apologise for the delay in responding to your query.
      You paper appears to be an exception and hopefully will not be an issue in your retake.

  202. Hello sir,
    i will be appearing for NMAT on the last Sunday of October.. I have been getting around 220 in the mocks of nmat.. Will this score be enough for getting through the admission procedure of nmis, Mumbai?

    • Dipayan, the overall cutoff for NM Mumbai has been around 208-210 for the last few years and hence a 220 will be safe. Similarly the sectional score our should ensure to clear the cutoffs are LS 55, LR 65 and QS 75.

  203. Dear Sir,

    What is the best way to prepare for Critical reasoning? My English is good and I typically score well in most mocks – however, when it comes to Critical reasoning, most of my answers are incorrect.

    Please guide me on the best approach to follow while solving critical reasoning and any material if available.

    Regards,
    Vikram

  204. SIR I find NMAT section tests very easy..Are they of same level as that of actual test…and as per analysis given 210 marks enough for admission there?

    • Seema, this year NMAT has upped the level of QA a bit but the others are by and large at the same level. In the last few years NMIMS overall cutoff has been around 207-208 and hence 210 is a safe score.

  205. Hi,

    I have taken up the test series for CAT and Non-CAT. I have noticed a flaw in the NMAT mocks and NMAT FLTS. The logical reasoning is section is of 60 minutes instead of 38 minutes whereas the Quantitative Ability section is of 38 minutes instead of 60 minutes. This aberration has rendered the mocks futile. Hence I request you to please make the necessary changes as soon as possible as the test window has already started.

  206. Hi Sir,

    I know my query isnt related to NMAT exactly, but I wanted your little attention on TISS, I’m very much interested to do my HR from TISS. Pls provide guidance in regards to same. as there isnt any good stuff available online for TISS. Also i’ll be glad if you share strategies and some good website for TISS Prep.

    Regards
    Aishwaray

  207. Respected sir,
    I gave my Nmat exam n may be i will get around 210..so sir will i need to give Nmat in the second window to confirm my chances of getting a call from NMIIS mumbai???
    Secondly sir can u pls tell me the approx cut off for getting call from XISS Ranchi PGDM Finance in CMAT ???
    It will b great if u reply on my both queries

    • Chandan, NMAT will declare the scores by end of Oct for the students who have taken NMAT in the first two weeks and you should wait for the scores before deciding on the retake.
      XISS Ranchi is possible at 80%ile but target 85%ile to be sure of a call.

      • Thanks alot sir for your replies..is it worthy enuf to join Xiss Ranchi PGDM Finance if i gt more than 85 percentile in CMAT sept sir???

        • Chandan, XISS Ranchi is best know for HR and its placements for finance are not great, it can at best be a back up option.

  208. hi sir,
    sir is there any source from where i can get cat 2009-13 question papers with question wise solution..??
    sir another thing with cat around the corner m having a horrible tym specialy in lr/di i have been trying to attempt maximum questions of the same and practise alot but cant do nething i just keep on running away from da questions derz dis fear instilled within me which is just not going away i hav tried everything..wat to do abt it sir..m losing all hope n m left demotivated each day..i used to excel in dis section earlier..
    rc n nw lr di hav becom mi weakness manage quant n verbal reasoning ..sir mi aim is fore or lbsim….it’s mi drop yr..is dere still a way to reach a 90 percentile..plz guide me sir

    • Krishi, unfortunately I am not aware of any source from where you can get CAT 2009-13 questions.
      If LR is creating a problem for you then the right approach will be to reduce the attempt in this areas and to focus on other question types. Since you are not very comfortable with RC also hence look at attempting only 1-2 RC passages and LR sets (total of 3-4 sets of RC + LR) but ensure that you attempt almost all of Verbal Logic and Usage questions.
