Scores for the NMAT range from 12-120 for each section and 36-360 for the overall exam. The scorecard is important for admissions to colleges that acknowledge the NMAT entrance exam.

NMAT Cutoff Marks

Understanding the NMAT exam's cutoff and score range is essential to formulating a preparation strategy and understanding the results better. Cutoffs are determined by several factors, including the number of applicants, the difficulty level of the exam, and the number of seats available.

A common score range of 36-360 is generated by the NMAT exam, which targets each test taker's specific ability level. It’s a standardized score for all test takers wherein the question difficulty level is dynamically adjusted. 

The NMAT percentile score illustrates how a candidate’s score compares to the rest of the NMAT takers. Therefore, if you received a percentile score of 90, you performed better than 90% of other candidates. In this case, you would be among the top 10% of candidates.

NMAT Scaled Score Vs. Percentile Score 

The NMAT scorecard displays the candidate's scaled and percentile scores. The scaled score is calculated from the candidate's performance in each section. It reflects their relative standing among all test-takers. Announced within 48 hours, the scaled score is not directly reported to the institutions but serves as the basis for the percentile calculation. GMAC ensures that the NMAT accounts for variations in question difficulty. The final NMAT percentile accurately reflects the candidate's overall performance.
