We cannot line NMMS up against other exams yet
This does not mean NMMS shares nothing with the exams you are preparing for — only that we have not loaded a chapter-by-chapter syllabus we can compare against, so we will not guess. We compare 0 exams whose official syllabus we have traced to the conducting body, and this one is not among them yet.

How to applyPending verification
- 1Watch the SCERT or school education department website of your own State/UT for the NMMS notification; there is no central application.

- 3Download the admit card from the State portal in the window the State announces and sit the MAT and SAT papers.
- 4If selected, apply for the scholarship itself on the National Scholarship Portal. The guidelines state that eligible students will apply on NSP, that the application is verified by the State Governments and UT Administrations and finally sent to the Ministry for sanction of funds.
- 5Renew the application on NSP within the stipulated time period every year. The guidelines warn that scholarships will be discontinued if the student is not able to renew the application on NSP within the stipulated time period.

Each State/UT conducts its own test at the Class VIII stage, usually through its SCERT.
When is the NMMS exam?

What is the paper like?
Two papers. The Mental Ability Test has 90 multiple-choice questions on reasoning and critical thinking, and the Scholastic Aptitude Test has 90 multiple-choice questions on science, social studies and mathematics as taught in Classes VII and VIII.
