The national means-cum-merit scholarship (nmms) previous year question papers are essential resources for class 8 students to understand the exam pattern and identify important topics for the 2025-26 academic session. these papers are divided into two sections: the mental ability test (mat) and the scholastic aptitude test (sat), each containing 90 multiple-choice questions to be completed within 90 minutes. the mat section evaluates reasoning and critical thinking through analogy, classification, and numerical series, while the sat section covers science, social studies, and mathematics based on the class 7 and 8 curriculum.

for the current session, many states like rajasthan, telangana, and uttar pradesh have already conducted their exams or released their official 2025 question papers and answer keys. regular practice with papers from the last five to ten years (2015–2025) helps students improve their time management and accuracy, which is crucial since there is no negative marking but a high merit-based cutoff for the scholarship. you can access and download the state-wise question paper pdfs and official solutions for states including haryana, andhra pradesh, and goa by visiting the following link: https://school.careers360.com/articles/nmms-question-papers
