  • There is no negative marking in the NMAT exam. Candidates can attempt most of the questions instead of skipping them by using their calculated guess without any fear of penalties for every wrong answer.

  • Each of the three sections of the NMAT 2021 Exam is individually timed. Therefore, the candidate must complete the respective section in the allotted time of each section.
  • Another unique feature of the exam pattern is the Uniform Marking System. For every right answer, 1 mark is rewarded, and there will be no penalty for unattempted questions.
  • However, if one candidate closes a section after completing it they will not be able to review it again. Therefore, candidates must review each section within the allotted time.
