The scholarship exam that rewards how you think: ₹12,000 a year, right through Class 12.
Two papers decide it. One, Mental Ability, is pure reasoning, not textbook facts. A skill you can train, a little each day.
For students in government, aided and local-body schools, with family income under ₹3,50,000 a year.
Why start now
You can't train for a race in the thirty days before it. A muscle grows with time, and so does the mind. Reasoning is no different: a skill that deepens with steady, daily practice, never a syllabus crammed at the end.
A seed is almost invisible when it's planted. Nurtured a little each day, it grows into a tree. Mental ability is that seed, and this app nurtures it in the mind, with the most essential tools of our time: mindfulness paired with science-backed learning.
Plant the seed today, and give the mind the time it needs to grow strong.
NMMS is decided in Class 8 by two 90-minute papers. A student needs at least 40% in each (32% for SC / ST / PwD).
From the official syllabus, NMMS scheme guidelines, para 2.3 (each State/UT sets its own paper): “numerical series”.

The Mental Ability paper isn't in any school textbook: it's a thinking skill you build by practising the right questions, the right amount, over time. That's exactly what Master Mental Ability does.
Harder as you improve, easier when you slip. No one bored, no one lost.
Spaced repetition returns a question right as it's about to fade, so it stays till exam day.
You reason it out before the answer shows. That effort is where learning sticks.
A moment to settle before each session. The same calm that helps on exam day.
On Android, all the questions live on your phone, so after install, daily practice costs zero data. The app needs the internet once to start, then at least once a week. In the web app, on a phone or computer, you practise in the browser while you are online.
In the browser: no account, no card, no install. Solve one full session, then decide.
In 2007, in his second year at IIT Delhi, Vineesh wrote a book: Master Mental Ability in 30 Days. It has sold year after year ever since, without the publisher ever marketing it.
In the years since, he built other learning products and spent a decade working with children of every background in a holistic learning centre.
This app goes far beyond that book: everything he's learned about how children actually learn, built into something they practise, not just read.
Solve a full session, no registration. Decide nothing yet.

A little each day. The app decides what to practise and when to bring it back.
Invite a friend preparing for NMMS: you both earn more free days.
Free to try: no signup to start, no card, no auto-debit, nothing taken silently. When you want the full library there are three plans, by length: ₹499 for three months, ₹699 for six, ₹999 for a year. Each is a single payment for that period, not a subscription. When it ends we ask you, and nothing is ever taken automatically. You can also keep learning free by sharing the app, and you can always try before paying anything.
It trains the Mental Ability (MAT) paper, the reasoning half. The SAT is school subjects (Science, Social Science, Maths), best revised with your Class 7 & 8 textbooks (NCERT or your state board's).
Now. Reasoning grows a little each day: a few months of steady practice beats last-minute cramming, because the exam tests thinking, not memory.
Yes. The Android app works offline: the questions live on your phone, so practice uses no data. It needs the internet once to start, then at least once a week. Get it on Google Play or the Indus Appstore. You can also practise in the web app, in the browser on your phone or computer, while you are online.
हाँ, पूरी तरह। हिंदी चुनिए और पूरी ऐप हिंदी में होगी: सवाल ख़ुद, विकल्प, और हर सवाल के बाद का हल, ऊपर से हिंदी लेबल चढ़ी अंग्रेज़ी ऐप नहीं। और यह पन्ना भी हिंदी में पढ़ा जा सकता है।
On the Android app, very little. The questions are on your phone, so you can practise on a train, in a village with no signal, on a phone with no data pack. It needs the internet once to start, then at least once a week to keep your access active; that is also when your progress is saved online. If it goes longer than a week without connecting, practice pauses until it does, and nothing is lost. The web app needs a connection while you practise.
Through your school, on your own state's portal. NMMS is conducted by each state, not centrally: your state sets the application window, the exam date and the fee. So ask your school for this year's dates; they change from state to state and from year to year. The National Scholarship Portal comes later: that is where a student who has already been selected claims the scholarship itself. Eligibility marks vary by state too, so confirm those with the school as well.
