Mumbai: Over 10,000 candidates successfully completed Narsee Monjee's computer-based NMAT 2010 for admission to its management programs.

Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS) conducts masters and doctoral programs in Management, Banking Management, Capital Markets, Actuarial Science and Pharmaceuticals Management.

The test continues to run successfully across 19 cities in India and 11 international locations - Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, South Africa, United Arab Emirates, Australia, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Nepal, Singapore and Sri Lanka.

"In a global testing endeavour of this size requiring international test synchronization, one is always faced with a variety of possible technical and infrastructure failure points. Accordingly, Pearson VUE has a contingency plan framework in place for speedy rectification of any such issues. There has been no need to reschedule any test batch", a release from the institute said.

NMAT administrators resolved any stray instances of disruption quickly.

One test centre in Kochi and one in Delhi faced power failure this morning. However, the test continued without interruption on the back-up UPS and generator power.

It was decided to continue running the test centres on the back-up generator power for the entire day so as not to interrupt the candidates' examination.

"A few students, who arrived late, did not have the required identity proofs or did not sign the NDA within the stipulated time, were not allowed to test. These candidates have been advised to e-mail their petition to NMAT2010@pearson.com for review by NMIMS," according to a statement from the Chairman, NMAT Admissions Committee.

"The feedback from the candidates has been very encouraging. Wherever the candidates report any issue related to their test delivery experience or test content that causes them anxiety, an incident is logged by the test administrators or invigilators and followed through to closure, so that no candidate is disadvantaged," the release added.

Responding to feedback from some candidates that they cannot go back to a section for review, it was clarified that candidates must have at least one item marked for review in a section for them to be able to go back to that section to review.

For this, the NMAT website had posted a NMAT Demo Test and an orientation video ahead of the test schedule to familiarize the candidates.
