Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], September 11: ICFAI Business School (IBS) is conducting the IBSAT National Mock Test (NMT) 2025, a practice exam designed on the same pattern as the IBSAT final test scheduled for December 27 and 28, 2025. Open to all MBA aspirants, including those who have not applied for IBSAT, the NMT offers a chance to check preparedness while competing for 100 prizes worth a total of ₹10 lakh — including ₹1,00,000 for the first prize, ₹50,000 for the second, and ₹25,000 for the third.
The NMT is an annual initiative that helps MBA and PGPM aspirants assess their readiness ahead of management entrance exams. Modeled on the IBSAT exam, the NMT follows the same structure as leading management tests such as CAT, NMAT by GMAC™, XAT, and GMAT™.
This year, ICFAI Business School (IBS) is offering prizes worth ₹10 lakh to the top 100 participants. The first prize is ₹1,00,000, the second ₹50,000, the third ₹25,000, and ranks 4-100 will each receive ₹5,000. Candidates can participate even if they have not applied for IBSAT.
IBSAT Exam Pattern
The IBSAT exam consists of 140 questions across four sections: Verbal Ability (50), Reading Comprehension (30), Quantitative Aptitude (30), and Data Adequacy & Interpretation (30).
The test duration is two hours, with no negative marking or sectional time limits.
NMT Format and Schedule
The NMT mirrors the IBSAT format and will be conducted as a remote-proctored computer-based test (CBT) via live Zoom. Each candidate may take the NMT only once on the scheduled date. Apart from the slot of August 24 which has already passed, the four available slots are:
