tThank you.
You can attempt NMAT three times. You'll get very basic questions there with no negative marks. General quantitative aptitude, reasoning, data interpretation, Reading comprehension and vocabulary are asked. You can easily score above 150 if you have basic knowledge of all these subjects.
The top colleges you can get with this exam are
- NMIMS (all three campuses)
- XIMB (for HR only)
- MISB Bocconi
- IBS Hyderabad
You can book your slot for the exam but each time you appear for the examination you'll have to fill the form of NMIMS (if you are targeting the college) with their registration amount.
Good luck
