The NMAT is a computer-adaptive test (CAT) consisting of 108 questions to be solved in 120 minutes. The structure is divided into three sections: 1. Language Skills (36 questions, 28 minutes), 2. Quantitative Skills (36 questions, 52 minutes), and 3. Logical Reasoning (36 questions, 40 minutes). Each section is individually timed, and once a candidate moves to the next section, they cannot return to the previous one. The score range for each section is 12–120, making the total score range 36–360.
