NSAT is an easy exam. The questions asked are familiar and easy. Candidates can crack NSAT with about 2-3 months of preparation. Those who have appeared for JEE Main or CUET find NSAT very easy.

NSAT syllabus for BBA, BA  LLB, BBA LLB is somewhat same as CUET syllabus. However, if you plan to appear for the exam, check for NSAT syllabus specifically and prepare only those topics that are included in it.
