Below are some preparation tips for NMAT UG which can be helpful for you to excel in the entrance examination:

  • Start with your strong section so that at the beginning of the exam your confidence level gets a boost. After attempting questions from strong areas, move towards the weaker section
  • Be quick while solving the questions as the total number of questions is 120 which should be solved within 120 minutes, which means if candidates have a lack of speed time and accuracy rate, they’ll face issues.
  • Attempt each question as there is no negative marking but do it at the end after completing all you know.
