Sample TU CMAT Masters Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the TU CMAT Masters exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Choose the word that is most nearly SIMILAR in meaning to 'EQUIVOCAL':

A.Definite

B.Ambiguous

C.Uncompromising

D.Lucid

Explanation: 'Equivocal' means open to more than one interpretation or deliberately ambiguous. Therefore, 'Ambiguous' is the exact synonym.

2Choose the word that is most nearly OPPOSITE in meaning to 'AUSTERE':

A.Spartan

B.Ascetic

C.Lavish

D.Stringent

Explanation: 'Austere' means severely simple, plain, or without comfort or luxury (as in an austere budget). Its opposite is 'Lavish', meaning rich, generous, or extravagant.

3Select the correct meaning of the business idiom 'in the red':

A.Operating at a financial loss

B.Earning record profit margins

C.Facing an urgent executive audit

D.Engaged in contentious union bargaining

Explanation: To be 'in the red' signifies operating at a financial loss or carrying a debt balance, originating from the accounting convention of marking negative figures in red ink.

4Choose the word that correctly completes the sentence: 'Because the board found the restructuring proposal completely ________, they unanimously authorized the capital expenditure.'

A.spurious

B.redundant

C.contentious

D.cogent

Explanation: 'Cogent' means clear, logical, and convincing. A cogent proposal justifies unanimous authorization of capital expenditure.

5Choose the pair that exhibits the same relationship as: CURATOR : MUSEUM

A.Physician : Prescription

B.Archivist : Collection

C.Author : Publisher

D.Conductor : Ticket

Explanation: A curator is a professional responsible for the management and preservation of a museum's holdings; similarly, an archivist manages and preserves an archival collection.

6Select the appropriate preposition to complete the sentence: 'All listed commercial banks in Nepal are mandated to adhere ________ the statutory liquidity guidelines of Nepal Rastra Bank.'

A.to

B.with

C.by

D.for

Explanation: The verb 'adhere' collocates with the preposition 'to' when referring to complying with rules, regulations, or standards.

7Identify the grammatically correct sentence regarding subject-verb agreement:

A.The board of directors have adjourned its meeting until next Monday morning.

B.Neither the branch manager nor the loan officers was present at the audit briefing.

C.Neither the loan officers nor the branch manager was present at the audit briefing.

D.The complete portfolio of high-yield corporate bonds were liquidated during the liquidity crisis.

Explanation: With correlative conjunctions such as 'neither... nor', the verb agrees with the closer subject. 'The branch manager' is singular and immediately precedes the verb, so the singular verb 'was' is correct.

8Complete the third conditional sentence: 'If the treasury division ________ the foreign exchange fluctuation earlier, the firm would have hedged its exposure.'

A.has anticipated

B.anticipated

C.would have anticipated

D.had anticipated

Explanation: In third conditional sentences describing past unfulfilled conditions, the 'if' clause requires the past perfect tense ('had anticipated') with 'would have + past participle' in the main clause.

9Which of the following sentences successfully resolves the dangling modifier?

A.Having audited the quarterly statements, the error in depreciation was discovered by the senior partner.

B.Having audited the quarterly statements, the senior partner discovered the error in depreciation.

C.Having audited the quarterly statements, depreciation errors were rectified immediately.

D.Having audited the quarterly statements, an adjustment was booked in the balance sheet.

Explanation: The introductory participial phrase 'Having audited the quarterly statements' must logically modify the agent immediately following the comma. 'The senior partner' is the one who audited the statements.

10Select the sentence that maintains strict parallel structure:

A.The executive director sought not only to streamline daily administrative workflows but also to reduce overhead costs.

B.The executive director sought not only streamlining daily administrative workflows but also to reduce overhead costs.

C.The executive director sought not only to streamline daily administrative workflows but also reducing overhead costs.

D.The executive director not only sought streamlining daily administrative workflows but also overhead cost reductions.

Explanation: Correlative conjunctions 'not only... but also' require identical grammatical forms: 'not only to streamline... but also to reduce...' pairs two parallel infinitives.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the format of the TU CMAT Masters (MBS/MPA Admission Test)?

It is a multiple-choice test set by the Faculty of Management Dean's Office. FoM's 2082 notice sets 25 MCQs from each listed area: Verbal Ability, Quantitative Ability, and Business and Economics / General Awareness. The 2080 notice listed Business and Economics and General Awareness as separate 25-question areas. The notice does not publish the test duration or marking scheme.

What score do I need to pass?

FoM's notices require candidates to pass the admission test, and the FoM MBS syllabus sets a minimum of 40%. Passing candidates can seek admission at any campus or college running MBS or MPA and must submit their MBS/MPA AT score card.

How much is the fee, and how do I apply?

The 2082 notice set an NPR 1,500 application fee, paid through Connect IPS to the FoM Dean's Office account. Applications are made online at www.tudoms.org, with the link also posted on www.fomecd.edu.np, for a chosen campus or college.

Do MBM, MBA, and other specialized TU master's programmes use the same test?

No. MBM, MBA-Finance, MBA-Corporate Leadership, MBA-Marketing, MITM, MHM, MTTM, and MATS are announced in a separate Dean's Office notice. That route uses its own written test, with essay writing and case analysis for some programmes, followed by group discussion, an individual presentation, and an interview. This practice bank targets the MBS/MPA test and does not simulate those components.

Are these official TU CMAT Masters questions?

No. OpenExamPrep is an independent study resource and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Tribhuvan University or its Faculty of Management. The four-option MCQs are written independently as a study aid; they are not an official paper or a simulation of the test format.
