The overall score ranges from <\/span><b>36 to 360<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, while the score range for each section is <\/span><b>12 to 120<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key features of the scoring system are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>No negative marking<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for incorrect answers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each section receives a <\/span><b>scaled score between 12 and 120<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The three sectional scores are combined to give the <\/span><b>overall NMAT score<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The overall score ranges from <\/span><b>36 to 360<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although incorrect answers do not result in a negative score, candidates still need to manage their time carefully because each section has a fixed duration.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>NMAT Scorecard and Result<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Candidates can view an <\/span><b>unofficial score after submitting the examination<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The official NMAT scorecard, containing the overall and sectional scaled scores, is generally available for download <\/span><b>within 48 hours of taking the exam<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Candidates receive an email notification when the scorecard is ready.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If an examination is subject to a security audit, the scorecard may take longer to become available.

Candidates should combine syllabus coverage with regular practice under conditions that reflect the examination.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Practise Within Sectional Time Limits<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Build your preparation around the actual sectional timings: 28 minutes for Language Skills, 52 minutes for Quantitative Skills and 40 minutes for Logical Reasoning. Timed practice can help you develop a realistic pace for each section.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Find a Suitable Section Order<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NMAT allows candidates to choose their section order. Try different sequences during mock tests and identify an approach that fits your preparation and time-management style.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Work on Speed and Question Selection<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no negative marking, but the fixed time available for each section means that difficult questions can consume valuable time. Practise identifying questions that can be solved efficiently and move on when a problem is taking too long.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Strengthen Fundamentals Before Taking Full Mocks<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start with the major content areas in each section. Once your fundamentals are clear, progress from topic-wise practice to timed sectional tests and full-length mocks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Practise the Computer-Adaptive Format<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Become comfortable answering questions continuously in a computer-based environment. Since completed sections cannot be revisited, practise maintaining concentration and making decisions within the available time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Bottom Line<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preparing for NMAT becomes more manageable when you know exactly what the test expects from you. The exam gives you flexibility in choosing the section order, but the fixed sectional timings mean that speed, accuracy and decision-making need to work together.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6 class=\"applybtn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jaipuria.ac.in\/blog\/how-to-calculate-cat-percentile\/?utm_source=Jaipuria_blog&amp;utm_medium=Jaipuria_blog&amp;utm_campaign=post\">How to Calculate CAT Percentile<\/a><\/h6>\n<h6 class=\"applybtn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jaipuria.ac.in\/blog\/download-cat-previous-year-question-papers\/?utm_source=Jaipuria_blog&amp;utm_medium=Jaipuria_blog&amp;utm_campaign=post\">Download Previous Year Question Papers<\/a><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the NMAT syllabus to identify the areas you need to strengthen and the exam pattern to shape how you practise them.
