Words From Our Students

During my CAT preparation, I enrolled at MBA Pathshala for classroom coaching. Abhijit Sir & Haider Sir guided me through the process of planning & executing the strategies I had to use to succeed in the test. I received regular feedback on my progress during the GD and PI preparations after CAT. I received calls from IIMs, SPJIMR, and MDI. MBAP played a huge role in this, and I cannot thank them enough for their efforts.

MBAP is a great place to prepare for MBA-CET, CAT, and CMAT, and the faculty are unbeatable. Most importantly, they pay personal attention to each student. Most faculty members come from IIMs. One-on-one interaction helped me improve as the exams approached, as well as get calls from IIMs I, S, and all New and Baby IIMs. Interview sessions were very beneficial for me to convert IIM S.

I am glad I chose MBA Pathshala for my MBA coaching. The faculty here is excellent and very competent. If I had any questions or needed extra classes, they always gave me one. I got through my GD-PIs too after the exams with their help. Thanks to MBAP, I was able to pass CAT and other entrance exams. Among others, I received calls from XLRI, XIMB, and IIMs. A few of the colleges I've converted are KJ Somaiya, TAPMI, IIM Sambalpur, and IIM Sirmaur.

MBAP prepared me for GD, WAT, and PI. Abhijit Singh, Haider, and other MBAP faculty provided excellent training. Good knowledge was imparted from the very beginning. Regular mock interviews were conducted. As a former SPJIMR, I would recommend students to join MBAP.

Coaching offers me personalized attention and a competitive environment. Because the preparation was so rigorous, I eventually began to perform at my best. The mock interviews/GD/WATs were conducted by anonymous panels, and it really boosted my confidence. Although I got a call from SCMHRD (SNAP-98.12), Abhijeet sir felt that I should try again and aim for IIM-A/B/C. It has been your pleasure to have been your mentor.

You will get good support from the faculty until you get into a B-School. The shortcut techniques you will learn will be extremely useful. You will be able to resolve doubts at any time. If you plan on taking CAT CET or any other entrance exam, go for MBA Pathshala. With the help of MBAP tutors, I received a call from IMT Ghaziabad.

GMAT prep with MBAP was the best I've ever experienced. With Rohan Kulkarni Sir's Verbal Guidance, I scored 85th percentile in my GMAT exam as I was very weak in English. I always found Haider Sir and Abhijeet to answer my questions and to develop strategies and shortcuts to tackle GMAT problems for me. MBAP is a great option for GMAT and CAT prep.

Speaking of the previous year’s NMIMS NPAT paper, the level of difficulty has been observed to be moderate. However, due to Covid 19, there were some changes observed in the NPAT previous year papers, it was held in a remote proctored manner meaning students had to attempt the paper from their home. The overall level of difficulty was moderate, with the Quantitative and Numerical Ability on the difficult side, there was a major emphasis on progressions and functions making this section relatively trickier to attempt. Candidates could not switch between sections and they had to attempt the NPAT paper in a format, namely English Section, Reasoning, and Quantitative towards the end. Other than the Quantitative section, the difficulty level in other sections was set at moderate. The level of difficulty for the NPAT engineering paper was set moderately difficult.

NPAT exam pattern of 2021 had a moderate level of difficulty, with the Quantitative and Numerical section being tricky, emphasis on this section of NPAT paper was mainly on Arithmetic, Progressions, Trigonometry, Number Systems, and Functions. The Reasoning section saw many questions based on Spatial Reasoning and Syllogisms. The Verbal section saw many questions on Para-Jumbles and Syllogisms.

NPAT paper pattern is tabulated below. One should chart their NPAT exam syllabus based on the pattern of NMIMS exam pattern.
