NIMCET 2025 Syllabus

[NIMCET 2025] 12 TEST PATTERN The NIMCET-2025 test will be conducted with single paper in three parts containing 120 multiple choice questions. The Part-I time-duration is 70 minutes and it consists of Mathematics (50 questions). The Part-II time-duration is 30 minutes and it consists of Analytical ability and Logical reasoning (40 questions). The Part-III time-duration is 20 minutes and it consists of Computer Awareness (20 questions) and English (10 questions). The three parts of the Computer-Based Test(CBT) will appear to the candidate one after the other. Time assigned for each part is fixed. Candidate should complete each part in allotted time as movement to one section from the other is not permitted. The Multiple-Choice Questions will be written in English Language only and will not be translated into any other language. The distribution of time assigned, questions and marks are as follows: Subject Total no of Marks awarded Marks deducted Total questions for correct answer for wrong answer marks Part-I (70 minutes) 2:00 PM-3:10 PM Mathematics 50 12 3 600 Part-II (30 minutes) 3:10 PM-3:40 PM Analytical Ability & 40 6 1.5 240 Logical Reasoning Part-III (20 minutes) 3:40 PM-4:00 PM Computer Awareness 20 6 1.5 120 General English 10 4 1 40 Total Marks: 1000 12.1 AWARD OF MARKS • Each correct answer will be awarded full marks and each wrong answer will lead to 25% NEGATIVE mark. • The candidates are advised not to attempt questions if they are not sure of the correct answer. No deduction from the total score will, however, be made if a question is unanswered. • More than one answer indicated against a question will be negatively marked. • The candidates have to mark the responses as per the instructions (appearing on the screen of the computer terminal) of NIMCET-2025 online examination. 12.2 SYLLABUS FOR NIMCET-2025 TEST 12.2.1 MATHEMATICS: (50 QUESTIONS) • Set Theory: Concept of sets – Union, Intersection, Cardinality, Elementary counting; permutations and combinations. • Probability and Statistics: Basic concepts of probability theory, Averages, Dependent and independent events, frequency distributions, measures of central tendencies and dispersions. • Algebra: Fundamental operations in algebra, expansions, factorization, simultaneous linear /quadratic equations, indices, logarithms, arithmetic, geometric and harmonic progressions, determinants and matrices. • Coordinate Geometry: Rectangular Cartesian coordinates, distance formulae, equation of a line, and intersection of lines, pair of straight lines, equations of a circle, parabola, ellipse and hyperbola.

[NIMCET 2025] • Calculus: Limit of functions, continuous function, differentiation of function, tangents and normals, simple examples of maxima and minima. Integration of functions by parts, by substitution and by partial fraction, definite integrals, applications of definite integrals to areas. • Vectors: Position vector, addition and subtraction of vectors, scalar and vector products and their applications to simple geometrical problems and mechanics. • Trigonometry: Simple identities, trigonometric equations, properties of triangles, solution of triangles, heights and distances, general solutions of trigonometric equations. 12.2.2 ANALYTICAL ABILITY & LOGICAL REASONING: (40 QUESTIONS) • The questions in this section will cover logical situation and questions based on the facts given in the passage. 12.2.3 COMPUTER AWARENESS: (20 QUESTIONS) • Computer Basics: Organization of a computer, Central Processing Unit (CPU), structure of instructions in CPU, input/output devices, computer memory, and back-up devices. • Data Representation: Representation of characters, integers and fractions, binary and hexadecimal representations, binary arithmetic: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, simple arithmetic and two’s complement arithmetic, floating point representation of numbers, Boolean algebra, truth tables, Venn diagrams 12.2.4 GENERAL ENGLISH: (10 QUESTIONS) Questions in this section will be designed to test the candidate’s general understanding of the English language. There will be questions on the following topics: Comprehension, vocabulary, Basic English Grammar (like usage of correct forms of verbs, prepositions and articles), word power, synonyms and antonyms, meaning of words and phrases, technical writing 13 QUALIFYING CRITERIA FOR ALLOTMENT OF RANK A Candidate securing zero or negative marks either in Mathematics or in Total Marks in NIMCET- 2025 test will be disqualified. Based on the marks obtained by a qualified candidate in NIMCET- 2025 test, a rank will be allotted by adopting the following criteria. • The marks obtained in Mathematics, Analytical Ability & Logical Reasoning, Computer Awareness, English, will be summed up. Thus, maximum weighted marks will be 1000. • Ranking will be based on total weighted marks obtained by a candidate. • In case of a tie, following tie breaker policy will be adopted: Tie breaker 1: Candidate scoring higher marks in Mathematics will be given priority in the merit list in case of tie. Tie breaker 2: This policy will come into effect only if two or more candidates score similar marks in Mathematics. The marks scored by the candidate in Analytical ability & Logical reasoning will be considered to determine the rank. Tie breaker 3: This policy will come into effect only if two or more candidates score same marks in Mathematics and Analytical ability & Logical reasoning. The marks scored by the candidate in Computer Awareness will be considered to determine the rank. Tie breaker 4: This policy will come into effect only if two or more candidates score the same marks in Mathematics, Analytical Ability & Logical reasoning and Computer Awareness. Candidate older in age will be given preference in merit list. Tie breaker 5: This policy will come into effect in case of above tie breakers is unable to resolve the stalemate. Random Sampling by computer will be considered for consideration of merit. Ranks secured by candidates in the NIMCET-2025 test will be made available on the website.
