Hello there,

The National Means-cum-Merit Scholarship (NMMS) program sets specific criteria for awarding scholarships, including minimum qualifying marks in both the Mental Ability Test (MAT) and the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT).

General Eligibility Criteria:

• Mental Ability Test (MAT): Minimum 40% marks.

• Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT): Minimum 40% marks.

• SC/ST Categories: Minimum 32% marks in both MAT and SAT.
  
  

In the case of the MBC (Most Backward Classes) student from Kallakurichi district who scored 52 in MAT and 49 in SAT, the combined total is 101. However, the selection for the NMMS scholarship is not solely based on the total score; it also considers the individual performance in MAT and SAT.

According to the NMMS guidelines, candidates must meet the minimum qualifying marks in both tests. Therefore, despite the overall score, if the student did not achieve the required minimum in either MAT or SAT, they would not be selected for the scholarship.

It's important to note that selection lists are prepared based on district-wise cutoffs, which can vary each year. These cutoffs depend on factors such as the number of applicants and the overall performance in the district.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, then feel free to share your questions with us, we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

The student might not have been selected for the NMMS scholarship due to a few possible reasons. Although the scores of 52 in MAT and 49 in SAT are decent, the selection for the scholarship depends on various factors such as the cut-off marks, overall performance, and availability of scholarships for the MBC category in the specific district. Each district may have different cut-offs, and if the student's scores did not meet the district's requirements, they may not have been selected.

There might be reservation criteria for selection to scholarship. Unreserved, EWS and OBC have usually high cutoff whereas SC ST categories have lower cutoff.

This might be a potential reason why someone on even getting more marks in comparison to the low scoring candidate has been selected in the scholarship.

THE MAT AND SAT PAPER DON’T HAVE OFFICIAL “passing marks” .

ADMISSION IS BASED ON MERIT AND CUTOFFS SET BY INDIVIDUAL UNIVERSITIES. SO YOUR SCORE SHOULD NEED TO BE HIGH ENOUGH TO MEET THE CUTOFF OF COLLEGES / COURSE YOU ARE APPLYING FOR.  CHECK THE PREVIOUS YEARS CUTOFFS FOR YOUR TARGET COLLEGE/COURSE TO ESTIMATE WHAT SCORE YOU SHOULD AIM.
