It's definitely a stressful situation when your entrance exam dates clash, especially with tight travel time between centers. Let's break down your options and whether your retake marks would be considered if you skip the main NPAT exam.

Firstly, regarding the clash, the IPMAT Rohtak 2025 exam is scheduled for May 5, 2025 . The NMIMS NPAT exam has a testing window from March 1st to May 31st, 2025 , allowing candidates to schedule their preferred date within this period. If your initially scheduled NPAT date clashes with IPMAT Rohtak on May 5th, you should have the option to reschedule your NPAT exam to a different date within the testing window, provided slots are available.

Now, addressing your question about retakes and skipping the main NPAT exam:

For NMIMS NPAT , you have the option to take one main attempt and up to two retakes . According to the official NPAT FAQs, the highest score out of all your attempts (including the main attempt and any retakes) will be considered for the merit list process.

Therefore, if you choose to take a retake and decide to skip your initially scheduled "main" NPAT exam due to the clash, your score from the retake(s) will be considered , and the highest among all your attempts will be used for the merit list. You are not obligated to take the initially scheduled exam if you plan to utilize the retake option.

However, it is highly recommended to attempt the first scheduled NPAT exam if at all feasible. This gives you an initial score and an understanding of the exam pattern and difficulty level, which can help you prepare better for any subsequent retakes you might want to take. Relying solely on a retake without experiencing the main exam might put you at a disadvantage.

In your situation, the best course of action would be to immediately try to reschedule your NPAT exam to a date that does not clash with your IPMAT Rohtak exam. You can do this by logging into your NPAT registration portal on the official NMIMS website. If rescheduling to a suitable date isn't possible due to slot availability, then you can proceed with taking a retake after your IPMAT Rohtak exam. In that scenario, your retake score will indeed be considered.

While it's impossible to predict with certainty, there's no indication that the second NPAT attempt (May 10th) will be inherently harder than the first (April 7th). The difficulty level can vary slightly across different sessions, but it's generally considered moderate.

Here's a breakdown to help you prepare:

• NPAT Difficulty:

The NPAT exam is generally considered to be of easy-to-moderate difficulty.

• No Guarantee of Increased Difficulty:

There's no official statement or precedent to suggest that the May 10th exam will be more challenging than the April 7th exam.

• Focus on Preparation:

Regardless of the date, thorough preparation is key to success in the NPAT exam.

• Understand the Syllabus:

Familiarize yourself with the syllabus and the types of questions asked in the exam.

• Practice Regularly:

Solve sample papers and mock tests to get a feel for the exam pattern and difficulty level.

• Time Management:

Develop effective time management skills to complete the exam within the allotted time.

• Stay Calm and Focused:

On the day of the exam, stay calm and focused to perform your best.

GOOD LUCK!!
