ICFAI Business School (IBS) has launched the IBSAT National Mock Test (NMT) 2025, an initiative that gives MBA aspirants a chance to evaluate their exam readiness while competing for lucrative cash prizes. Designed on the same pattern as the IBSAT final exam scheduled for December 27–28, 2025, the NMT is open to all management aspirants — even those who have not applied for IBSAT.
The NMT not only helps candidates assess their preparedness but also brings a competitive edge, offering 100 prizes, including ₹1,00,000 for the first prize, ₹50,000 for the second, ₹25,000 for the third, and ₹5,000 each for ranks 4–100.
