CMAT Exam Pattern

Timing: Single composite 180-minute timer for all five sections combined: no sectional lock, matching the official test's own no-sectional-time-limit rule.

The official CMAT (conducted by NTA) has 100 questions for 400 marks in 180 minutes, 4 marks per correct answer and -1 for a wrong one, with no sectional time limit, across five equal 20-question sections: Quantitative Techniques and Data Interpretation, Logical Reasoning, Language Comprehension, General Awareness, and Innovation and Entrepreneurship. This mock now covers all five sections at full official scale. General Awareness and Innovation & Entrepreneurship were excluded from an earlier build of this mock as content-risk; that exclusion is lifted here because the General Awareness bank is entirely static, evergreen general-knowledge fact recall (constitutional articles, geography, science constants, historical monuments, international-institution headquarters) with no current-events dependency, and the Innovation & Entrepreneurship bank applies definitions to stated scenarios and short calculations (break-even, contribution, working capital) rather than testing bare terminology recall, unlike the format this project had earlier assumed for both sections.
