No, there will not be any break during the NIMCET exam. The NIMCET exam will be conducted with a single paper containing 120 MCQs, and the different segments of the exam will appear to the candidate one after the other. Time assigned for each part is fixed, so there is no scope for any breaks. The candidate should complete each part in the given time only, as movement from one section to another is not allowed.

Yes. NIMCET is an entirely online test or a computer-based test. The entrance examination will be conducted at various exam centres, where the systems will be prepared for the exam.

Mathematics, Analytical Ability & Logical Reasoning, Computer Awareness, and General English are the compulsory subjects in NIMCET. The official syllabus of NIMCET is available online. 

Before preparing for it, you must familiarise yourself with the NIMCET exam format and syllabus.

Furthermore, understanding the NIMCET syllabus will also help to prioritise the study plan and focus on important topics.

Ideally, you should start preparing at least six months before the exam date. The NIMCET 2026 exam date has not been announced yet, however, the tentative examination date is around June 2026, making now a perfect time to start preparing for it. NIMCET exam pattern along with the brochure will soon be released on the official website at nimcet.admissions.nic.in.
