Hello

You asked for the Bengali question paper of the NMMS examination. The NMMS exam is conducted by SCERT of each state including West Bengal for Class 8 students. The exam is held every year to provide scholarships to meritorious students belonging to economically weaker sections. The test generally has two parts. The first paper is called the Mental Ability Test or MAT. It contains reasoning, puzzle based, and analytical type questions. The second paper is the Scholastic Aptitude Test or SAT. This part includes questions from subjects like Science, Social Science, and Mathematics based on the Class 7 and 8 syllabus.

The Bengali question paper is given only to those students who choose Bengali as their medium of examination while filling the application form. In such cases, all the questions in MAT and SAT will be printed in Bengali. This helps students from West Bengal and Bengali medium schools to attempt the paper comfortably in their own language.
