    Things to Remember While Filling NMMS OMR Sheet

    The improper filling can lead to NMMS OMR sheet being rejected by the scanning machine, so follow these rules strictly:

    • Pen Only: Use a Blue or Black Ballpoint Pen only. The use of a pencil is strictly prohibited.

    • Complete Darkening: The circle must be darkened completely and properly. Do not use half-marks, 'tick' marks, or small dots.

    • One Response: Darken only one circle per question. Marking more than one circle for a single question will be treated as a wrong answer.

    • No Stray Marks: Do not fold, crumple, or make any unnecessary marks on the OMR sheet, especially near the edges or the barcode.

    • No Negative Marking: Since there is no negative marking in the NMMS exam, it is highly recommended to attempt all 180 questions.
