NSI Admission Test Pattern

The previous year's NSI Admisson Test question papers are significant for multiple reasons. They are stated below:

1. Understanding of the Exam Pattern: Working on the previous year's question papers gives candidates to get the understanding of the exam pattern, types of questions, and exam difficulty level. This can assist them in their preparation, and ultimately helping them enhance their exam score.

2. Important Topics: By working on previous year's question papers, candidates can uncover the crucial topics which were regularly asked on the test. This would assist them in modelling their preparation and focusing on the topics that have a higher likelihood of being checked in the test.

3. Builds Confidence: Working out previous year's papers builds confidence, and also reduces the anxiety of testing. It can also assist in creating a strategy for time management, speed and accuracy in working out the questions for the candidates.

4. Practice and Revision: Working out previous year's papers assist candidates in practice and revision of the material and concepts they have learned. This will assist in reinforcing and consolidating the knowledge on the subject, and allowing the candidate to self-identify and take stock of material they may still require further consolidation on.

The types of questions asked in the NSI Admission Test vary depending on the course that the candidate is applying for. However, the general types of questions that are asked include:

• Objective type questions:  These questions are typically multiple-choice or true/false questions. They test the candidate's knowledge of the fundamental concepts and principles of the relevant subjects.
  
• Short answer type questions: These questions require the candidate to write a short answer, typically in one or two sentences. They test the candidate's ability to apply the concepts and principles that they have learned to solve problems.
  
• Long answer type questions: These questions require the candidate to write a detailed answer, typically in a paragraph or more. They test the candidate's understanding of the subject matter and their ability to think critically and analyze problems.

The NSI Admission Test exam pattern varies depending on the course that the candidate is applying for. However, the general exam pattern is as follows:

• Mode of exam- Pen and paper-based
• Duration of exam- 3 hours
• Total marks- 100
• Type of questions- Objective, short answer, and long answer type

The question paper is divided into different sections, each of which covers a specific subject. The number of sections and the weightage of each section varies depending on the course.

For example, the question paper for the ANSI (ST) course consists of four sections: Mathematics (20%), Chemistry (40%), Physics (20%), and Chemical Engineering (20%).
