NMAT: Required and Prohibited Items

REQUIRED ITEMS

1. Long transparent plastic envelope.

This is where you’ll place your personal valuables and other items that are allowed. They will be placed in one corner of the room during the exams.

2. NMAT ID form.

3. Transcript of Records or Certified True Copy of grades.

If you’re not yet a graduate or your transcript is not yet available for release, you can ask for the certified true copy of grades instead. You do NOT need both. Just one.

4. Exam permit

5. Pencils (no. 2 or HB) and/or erasers.

You can bring as many pencils as you’d like but I only used one. You can bring an eraser and a sharpener too.

6. A government-issued ID or a school ID

PROHIBITED ITEMS

1. Electronic devices

2. Calculators

3. Books, printed materials, etc.

4. Bags of any kind

What about watches?
According to CEM, watches are allowed as long as they're analogue watches. However, although our watches were analogue, the proctors made us remove them. It’s better to be prepared in case they ask you to remove them too. Some proctors ask you to remove them, some don’t.
