One mbc student has scored 52 in mat and 49 in sat in nmms exam in kallakurichi district.why is he not selected for scholarship

kumardurgesh1802 13th Apr, 2025

Hello there,

The National Means-cum-Merit Scholarship (NMMS) program sets specific criteria for awarding scholarships, including minimum qualifying marks in both the Mental Ability Test (MAT) and the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT).

General Eligibility Criteria:

  • Mental Ability Test (MAT): Minimum 40% marks.

  • Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT): Minimum 40% marks.

  • SC/ST Categories: Minimum 32% marks in both MAT and SAT.

In the case of the MBC (Most Backward Classes) student from Kallakurichi district who scored 52 in MAT and 49 in SAT, the combined total is 101. However, the selection for the NMMS scholarship is not solely based on the total score; it also considers the individual performance in MAT and SAT.

According to the NMMS guidelines, candidates must meet the minimum qualifying marks in both tests. Therefore, despite the overall score, if the student did not achieve the required minimum in either MAT or SAT, they would not be selected for the scholarship.

It's important to note that selection lists are prepared based on district-wise cutoffs, which can vary each year. These cutoffs depend on factors such as the number of applicants and the overall performance in the district.


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, then feel free to share your questions with us, we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

Which mark is pass mark in mat and sat?

Harsha Prajapat 7th Apr, 2025

THE MAT AND SAT PAPER DON’T HAVE OFFICIAL “passing marks” .

ADMISSION IS BASED ON MERIT AND CUTOFFS SET BY INDIVIDUAL UNIVERSITIES. SO YOUR SCORE SHOULD NEED TO BE HIGH ENOUGH TO MEET THE CUTOFF OF COLLEGES / COURSE YOU ARE APPLYING FOR.  CHECK THE PREVIOUS YEARS CUTOFFS FOR YOUR TARGET COLLEGE/COURSE TO ESTIMATE WHAT SCORE YOU SHOULD AIM.

Based on previous year trends, your selection for the NMMS scholarship in Bihar is unlikely. Here's why:

  • Your Scores : You achieved 51 in SAT and 62 in MAT, totaling 113 marks.
  • Previous Cut-Offs : General category cut-offs range between 120-150 marks, while reserved categories fall between 90-95 marks.
  • Scholarship Quota : Bihar awards scholarships to 5,433 students annually.
  • Topper Scores : In 2024, top scores ranged from 140 to 153 marks.

Mat and sat paper nmms ka 2024 class 8th

Juee 21st Sep, 2024

Two papers make up the Class 8 NMMS (National Means-cum-Merit Scholarship) exam:


The Mental Ability Test (MAT) measures a person's capacity for critical thought, reasoning, and problem-solving. It covers topics such as pattern recognition, numerical series, classifications, analogies, and more.


The Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT, assesses a candidate's general knowledge as well as their proficiency in science, math, and social studies. It centres on the academic material that students have studied.


While every state may have a unique curriculum and format, both exams usually feature multiple-choice questions (M CQs).
