Overview
About NPAT
NPAT, short for NMIMS Programs After Twelfth, is the entrance test for undergraduate admission to SVKM's NMIMS, a deemed-to-be university. NMIMS conducts the test itself, and the computer-based paper is delivered through Pearson's testing centres. Candidates take it after finishing, or while completing, Class 12.
A single NPAT score is the route into NMIMS's undergraduate degrees. These include the BBA and its specialisations, B.Com, B.Sc. in Finance and in Economics, and the BA in Liberal Arts, among others. Admission runs across the NMIMS campuses at Mumbai, Bengaluru, Navi Mumbai, Hyderabad, Indore, Chandigarh, and Ahmedabad.
It has three sections: Quantitative Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, and a Verbal section covering language and reading comprehension. A candidate may sit a main attempt and up to two retakes within a cycle, and NMIMS considers the highest of those scores.
