Most of the questions in the NPAT Entrance Exam appear from topics like algebra, trigonometry, sets & functions, numerical reasoning, data interpretation, vocabulary, error recognition, and vocabulary.

This post takes you through the detailed NPAT Syllabus for BBA and Engineering programs. Know the topics to be studied and the weightage of questions. 

NPAT 2024 Syllabus for BBA 

NPAT exam consists of two papers: Paper 1 (common for all courses) and Paper 2 (only for the design course). In the paper 1 exam, you will be tested on your proficiency in English and quantitative and logical reasoning skills. And paper 2 is to test your spatial ability and visualization skills. 

Note that Paper 1 is common for all the programs, whereas Paper 2 is only for B. Des Program.
