Karnataka NMMS 2024 Examination Postponed
Karnataka NMMS 2024 : The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board has announced its decision to defer the 2024-25 National Means-cum-Merit Scholarship (NMMS) Examination. The decision was conveyed by issuing a circular. The exam was originally scheduled to take place later this year on December 8. As per the latest circular, it will now be held on January 5 next year. This decision is believed to have been taken following unforeseen circumstances hampering the initial schedule for the examination. The NMMS 2024 test postponement notice is available on the official website, kseeb.karnataka.gov.in.
The NMMS 2024-25 exam comprises two papers- Paper 1 and Paper 2. The Paper 1 is the Mental Ability Test (MAT) and the Paper 2 is the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). The official notice, reportedly, stated that the districts, talukas and schools will have to ensure that the change is widely communicated in order to make sure that the students are prepared for the revised schedule.
As per the new schedule, Paper 1 will be held on January 5 with the examination scheduled to start from 10:30 am. Applicants are stipulated to get 90 minutes for the first paper. Paper 2 will start on the same day at 2 PM and will go on for 90 minutes as well.
