Exact replica of last year NMAT in terms of pattern..

attempted arnd 115,

Englsih was definitely on tougher side..(including confusin parajumble as well as RC was also above average)

Quant was ok but then again DI had sum calculation intensive questions..

LR was ok

Hence, cut-off shudnt b more than 85 (NMIMS give calls like anything..money hai to honey hai)

110+ attempts from my side. Hoping for a score of 97-100 (as I am pretty confident of my accuracy level).

I think the cut-off will not vary much from last years. As the levels of difficulty of both the papers are pretty same. It can be in the range of 83-88.

Seniors, what was the rank of a person with score 95 last year ? And as I am a fresher, I will score 0 in work-ex section. So can I convert NM with a score of 97-100 (with a decent gd-pi) ?

the paper was easy.
When compared to last year, english was tougher. Last year i remember, i completed the english section in 10 minutes. this time i took around 25 minutes. N hence i feel, english was tougher than last year.
Quant and LR was the same as last year's. Quant was calculation intensive last year and the story hasn't changed this year. Cutoffs may drop by 3-4 marks only because of english. Otherwise rest all should remain same as last years.

Re: [28-Dec-08] NMAT 2008: Paper Discussions - 28-12-2008, 01:39 PM

paper is very much similar to the last year's paper.
of the three sections, i felt VA to be tougher.. especially the para jumble set.
my attempts:
VA-35(left the para jumble)
QA-45+
LR-35
good accuracy in QA and LR.. not sure of VA :(
i feel the cutoff also might be the same as last year
possibly 85-88

hi...
attempted 105 ques, with 90% accuracy i believe as quants, di n lr sections am reasonably confident dat d maximum questions i attempet r correct, so English score is d deciding factor, waiting for cutoffs from ims etc
