id=\"What_is_NMAT_Adaptive_Exam\"><\/span><strong>What is NMAT Adaptive Exam?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The NMAT by GMAC is an adaptive exam, which means the difficulty level of questions you receive changes based on your performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-the-nmat-adaptive-test-pattern-works\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_the_NMAT_adaptive_test_pattern_works\"><\/span><strong>How does the NMAT adaptive test pattern works?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the NMAT adaptive exam, the difficulty level of the questions adjusts based on your performance. If you answer a question correctly, the next one is likely to be more difficult than the previous one and if you answer incorrectly, the following question may be easier.<br>The NMAT adaptive test pattern ensures the test itself to check your ability level. Your final score then depends not only how many questions you answer correctly but also on the difficulty of those questions.<br>In addition, once you answer a question, you cannot go back and change it, and in that scenario your accuracy and time management is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adaptive-exam-pattern-in-nmat\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adaptive_Exam_Pattern_In_NMAT\"><\/span><strong>Adaptive Exam Pattern <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">In NMAT<\/mark><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NMAT is a Computer Adaptive Test, which means NMAT has a novel approach to assessment, dynamically adjusting the difficulty, level, and sequence of questions based on your performance during the examination. For example, if you are presented with a question on the NMAT, and you attempt it correctly, the next question will be of an increased level of difficulty, and so on. Consequently, if you attempt a question incorrectly, the next question will be of a lesser difficulty level as compared to the question that was attempted incorrectly and so on. There is no negative marking in adaptive examination and the weightage is equal for all sections in the NMAT. This pattern is followed throughout the exam, making it one of India&#8217;s most sought-after competitive exams for MBA at NMIMS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Read More:<\/mark><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"> <\/mark><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/nmat-strategy\/\">NMAT Strategy<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"footable_parent_19359\"\n         class=\" footable_parent ninja_table_wrapper loading_ninja_table wp_table_data_press_parent semantic_ui colored_table\">\n                <table data-ninja_table_instance=\"ninja_table_instance_0\" data-footable_id=\"19359\" data-filter-delay=\"1000\" aria-label=\"NMAT exam pattern\"            id=\"footable_19359\"\n           data-unique_identifier=\"ninja_table_unique_id_2480266632_19359\"\n           class=\" foo-table ninja_footable foo_table_19359 ninja_table_unique_id_2480266632_19359 ui table  white nt_type_ajax_table vertical_centered inverted footable-paging-right ninja_table_search_disabled ninja_table_pro\">\n                <colgroup>\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_0 \">\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_1 \">\n                    <\/colgroup>\n            <\/table>\n    \n    \n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-marking-scheme-in-nmat\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Marking_Scheme_In_NMAT\"><\/span><strong>Marking Scheme <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">In NMAT<\/mark><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now to address the main query, &#8220;What is the marking scheme of NMAT by GMAC?&#8221; let us understand how GMAC, the conducting body of NMAT, had designed its marking scheme for the NMAT adaptive test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-background has-fixed-layout\" style=\"background-color:#fe984f\"><thead><tr><th>Section<\/th><th>Score Range<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Language Skills<\/strong><\/td><td>   <strong>12-120<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Quantitative Skills<\/strong><\/td><td>   <strong>12-120<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Logical Reasoning Skills<\/strong><\/td><td>   <strong>12-120<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Total<\/strong><\/td><td>   <strong>36-360<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>As per the latest update from NMAT by GMAC<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It is crucial to mention that there is no negative marking in the NMAT exam and there are no set marks that are awarded for each correct answer. However, it is important to note that <strong>each question on the NMAT will carry varied weightage according to the level of difficulty<\/strong>. In an ideal scenario, where one is attempting the questions correctly, there is an incremental weightage assigned to each question in proportion to its level of difficulty which helps in boosting the score. <strong>So it is always advisable to put in some extra time in solving the initial set of questions correctly in the exam<\/strong>, for each section as it will give a major push to the sectional score and ultimately increase the overall score as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nmat-2025-exam-sectional-time-limit\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NMAT_2025_Exam_Sectional_Time_Limit\"><\/span><strong>NMAT 2025 Exam: Sectional (Time Limit)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The NMAT 2025 exam is designed for candidates across three sections that includes language skills, quantitative skills and logical reasoning. Unlike other management entrance exams, NMAT (Narsee Monjee Management Aptitude Test) offers a fixed time limit for each section and candidates must complete one section before moving on to the next section. No switching between sections is allowed in the NMAT exam. Proper time management is important to handle for each section and it is crucial for success in NMAT 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>NMAT Sections<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Number of Questions<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Time Allotted (in Minutes)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Language Skills<\/td><td>36<\/td><td>28<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Quantitative Skills<\/td><td>36<\/td><td>52<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Logical Reasoning<\/td><td>36<\/td><td>40<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total<\/td><td>108<\/td><td>120 minutes<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/K65Gyk7hIL13SiKPwL5Wg7?mode=ac_t\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"159\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-27-1024x159.png\" alt=\"NMAT whatsapp group\" class=\"wp-image-54453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-27-1024x159.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-27-300x46.png 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-27-768x119.png 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-27-150x23.png 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-27-696x108.png 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-27-1068x165.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-27.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Read More:<\/mark> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/nmat-syllabus\/\">NMAT Syllabus<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion-nmat-adaptive-test-pattern\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion_NMAT_Adaptive_Test_Pattern\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion: NMAT Adaptive Test Pattern<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The NMAT exam by GMAC stands out as one of the adaptive management entrance exams in India. Understanding how the adaptive test pattern works is important to improve your scores. Since your performance gives the insight of the difficulty level of questions and then the scores, accuracy becomes more important than random attempts. In addition to that, the lack of negative marking allows aspirants to attempt all the questions confidently in the NMAT exam. Focused preparation, strong fundamentals, and mock test practice in a timed, adaptive format are important to perform well. So with the right guidance and structured preparation plan, cracking the NMAT 2025 becomes more achievable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-to-prepare-from-for-nmat-2025\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_To_Prepare_From_For_NMAT_2025\"><\/span><strong>Where To Prepare From For <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">NMAT 2025?<\/mark><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Join iQuanta&#8217;s comprehensive <a href=\"http:\/\/iquanta.in\/mba\"><strong>NMAT+SNAP course<\/strong><\/a> to give your score the required boost. iQuanta offers world-class faculty and industry experts who teach and mentor MBA aspirants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The facilities offered by iQuanta are mentioned below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>24&#215;7 Doubt Solving<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>10 Mock Tests Each For SNAP And NMAT <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tips And Tricks<\/strong> <strong>To Solve Questions<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regular Classes<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recorded Lectures<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mentorship Sessions<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To know more visit <a href=\"http:\/\/iquanta.in\/mba\"><strong>iQuanta&#8217;s NMAT+SNAP<\/strong><\/a> Course or click on the banners below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"iQuanta.in\/mba\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-32-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54542\" style=\"width:624px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-32-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-32-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-32-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-32-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-32-420x420.png 420w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-32-696x696.png 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-32-1068x1068.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-32.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>ENROLL NOW AND BE A PART OF THE WINNING CLAN..!!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span><strong>FAQs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-nmat-adaptive-test-pattern\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_NMAT_adaptive_test_pattern\"><\/span><strong>What is NMAT adaptive test pattern?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The NMAT by GMAC follow the computer based adaptive pattern where the difficulty level of questions adjusts in a real time based on the candidate&#8217;s performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-there-any-negative-marking-in-the-nmat-exam\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_there_any_negative_marking_in_the_NMAT_exam\"><\/span><strong>Is there any negative marking in the NMAT exam?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No, there is no negative marking in the NMAT exam so with the right preparation strategy it is possible to achieve good score in the examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-revisit-a-question-in-nmat-exam\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_i_revisit_a_question_in_NMAT_exam\"><\/span><strong>Can i revisit a question in NMAT exam?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No, you cannot revisit the question in NMAT exam once your question is answered.
