NMIMS NPAT Admission Exam Syllabus

Here is the section- wise syllabus for the NMIMS NPAT admission exam:

Section 1: Proficiency in English Language

• Error Recognition – It includes recognising grammatical structure and usage.
• Applied Grammar – Questions will be based on using prepositions, determiners, connectives, tenses appropriately.
• Vocabulary – In this section, candidates’ grasping power to understand the meaning of underlined words in sentences will be tested
• Contextual Usage – If you know how to use appropriate words in the given context, you will be able to ace the questions from this topic
• Sequencing of Ideas – Here candidates will be required to put ideas into logical sequence by putting jumbled sentences in the correct order
• Reading Comprehension – It is the lengthiest section of the exam, comprising of at least 3 passages of 400-500 words with 5 Questions per Passage. RCs will test how good you are at locating Information, grasping ideas, identifying relationships, interpreting ideas, moods, characteristics of characters, tone of passage, inferring, getting the central theme of the passage.

Section 2: Quantitative and Numerical Ability

• Number System – It includes questions from topics such as Fractions, Surds and Decimals, Number Series.
• Arithmetic – Prepare questions from Percentages, Profit & Loss, Discount, Compound Interest & Annuities, Ratio & Proportions, Time, Work & Distance, 2 D & 3D Figures- Areas & Volumes, to score high in this section.
• Algebra – It comprises topics such as Basic Algebraic Identities, Equations - Linear & Quadratic sequence and Series (AP, GP).
• Sets and Functions – A slightly advanced level topic that will test your aptitude on topics such as Sets, Operations on Sets and their Applications, using Venn Diagrams, functions
• Elementary Statistics & Probability – Here you will see questions on Mean, Mode, and Median, Measures of Dispersion.
• Trigonometry – This is another higher level topic that requires you to be adept at Trigonometric Rations, identities, Height and Distances.

Section 3: Reasoning & General Intelligence

• Critical Thinking – It will test the aptitude of the candidate on the basis of Decision Making questions (take into cognizance various rules/ conditions and take decisions based upon those rules / conditions) as well as Problem Solving ability (to analyse the given information and condense all the information in a suitable form and answer the questions asked).
• Verbal-logical Reasoning – Test-takers will be asked to derive conclusions from logical premises or assess the validity of arguments based on statement of facts
• Data Sufficiency – Here, your judgment ability will be tested based on the information given. You need to zero down whether the info provided is sufficient to answer the question or some additional information is required.
• Numerical Reasoning – Solve Venn Diagrams (identify the class-sub class relationship among given group of items and illustrate it diagrammatically), along with questions on Mathematical Equalities.

• Data Interpretation – As the name suggests, use the information given in graphs and charts to answer the questions.
• Spatial Reasoning – This area needs attention as it will be quite tricky to solve, including questions on Figure Analogy (choosing the figure from the alternatives that match with relationship specified by a given figural pair), Figure Matching / Classification (notice the common quality in figures to be able to match figures or find the odd one out) and Figure Series (to discover a pattern in the formation of figures in a sequence to be able to complete the series / identify the missing figures).
