The NMAT by GMAC exam is computer-delivered and gives each candidate a randomly generated test from a pool of questions, delivered one-at-a-time.
quantitative aptitude and data interpretation.
The section had at least one question from each topic under QA and DI. The topics covered include mainly arithmetic (averages, percentage, profit and loss, ratio and proportion, time and distance, time and work) and modern maths including Geometry, PnC Probability. Apart from it, there was a good balance of questions between data interpretation and data sufficiency. Overall, NMAT is a predictable paper. A correct attempt of 30 to 35 questions can be termed as a good score.
NMIMS selection process consists of two stages and has three components. Based on the performance in the NMAT examination, only shortlisted candidates are called for the Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI) round.

IRMA doesn't have any specific course or area from which it draws questions for ISC. So, preparing for ISC, as past trends have shown, you may look at recently announced policies, schemes, allocations to schemes, current issues between states, and recent happenings in the India. Very few questions are asked about past data, though, questions related to rural development projects can be seen.
Candidates need to answer 40 questions on Issues of Social Concern in one hour 20 minutes. The section generally tests the candidate's understanding of relevant social issues and socio-economic factors. As far as issues of social concerns are taken into account, I suggest everyone to go with the monthly magazine named 'Pratiyogita Darpan' (PD). It would be a pretty good option. I would suggest you to look through the magazines of PD published over the last two years for scoring good marks in exam

There is nothing such thing called important topics. This view depends upon the preparation of the exam you are taking. There are a number of exams conducted in India for the MBA. Exams like CAT, XAT, GMAT, MAT, IBSAT, NMAT, SNAP, etc., have some minor tweaking and variations apart from the main sections. Each of these exams have quantitative aptitude, verbal reasoning, logical reasoning and data interpretation, apart from GK or essay writing section in some of the exams. So, you have to prepare accordingly for these exams either by taking coaching classes, correspondence course, by self-preparation or by following recommended books. After you have prepared for the most difficult level questions, you may try to get some question banks for the specific exam you are targeting either offline mode I.e. books for exams or online mode I.e. free question banks websites or paid question banks for practice.

The syllabus of MAT comprises topics or chapters from each section that aspirants should study to ace the exam. Analysing the previous year's question papers experts have suggested topics from Language Comprehension, Mathematical Skills, Data Analysis and Sufficiency, General Intelligence and Critical Reasoning and Indian & Global Environment that are important for the entrance exam.
The focus of the test is on the basic concept of mathematics. The topics include Arithmetic, Geometry and Mensuration, and miscellaneous topics such as Time, Speed & Distance, Simple/Compound Interest, Series, Mixture and Set theory. it is important to develop vocabulary by reading thought-provoking books, magazines, and editorials in newspapers. Update your grammar by reading books which enhance English language skills.
General awareness of the students is an important requirement for management education. Basic knowledge of Science, Geography, History, Economics, Current Affairs, Politics, etc. would be useful as well.

I would add to the previous answer Career Launcher/TIME are the most dignified coaching institutions when it comes to CAT/ CMAT/GMAT. Since TIME is more in number in Maharashtra, you can take an admission in it.
TIME offers two types of course method:
It is basically full course or a crash course or both.
When there is a comparison done between both, it seems that TIME does not follow any fixed curriculum. Whereas, Career Launcher has its books published.
Either way, both have a strong study material.
Both institutions have flexibility in their timings but Career Launcher seems to have a personal touch.
The lectures usually are conducted on weekends in both the institutions.
If you want to have my personal suggestion then I would choose Career Launcher it is more pocket-friendly and will give you great attention.
Great support is offered by both regarding the examination and the rules which have to be followed.

From my personal experience, I would say coaching classes can provide you only 20% of your marks, the rest you get is through self-study.
So, classes don't make much of a difference. Still, you can consider going for online Career Launcher classes. Enrolling courses helps to save you time and are much productive as compared to offline classes.
Personalised teaching which you get from these online coaching classes helps you understand "fundamental concepts" in a much more holistic manner.
Also, CAT is an exam of aptitude and not really the test of how much you know. Every question has a certain way to solve to save time so just try to search for those shortcut techniques to save time and earn more marks in CAT.
In the end, I would say while you go for the exam, keep your mind calm and solve the problems using fundamental concepts of class 10th.

I would suggest Career Launcher/TIME are the most dignified coaching institutions when it comes to CAT/ CMAT/GMAT.
Career Launcher offers two types of course method so does TIME.

Both institutions have flexibility in their timings but Career Launcher seems to have a personal touch.
The lectures usually are conducted on weekends in both the institutions.
If you want to have my personal suggestion then I would choose Career Launcher. This is due to the personal touch and the close attention which they give to their students.
Great support is offered by them regarding the examination and the rules which have to be followed.

Maths is the basis subject and involved in almost all subject in little bit because math is a subject which helps to solve problem easily.
ACCA is equivalent to Indian CA except the geographic recognition it has. You will study accounting, taxation and finance subjects as practical papers which require basic mathematics. Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) is a course in which candidate has to learn the basics of maths skills which is enough to earn this degree. But difficulty is related to the individual. I would say the content isn't that difficult, but there's a lot of content to get to grips with. The quality of your tuition and factors like study time also make a difference.
For more detail about the maths visit the link provided below:

You can surely pursue CS as it doesn't consist of hardcore mathematics. Yes, however, it is not exclusively maths but some or the other form of maths.
For instance, you can count accounting as a form of maths solely because it involves numbers, but the concepts and rules of accounting are by themselves independent and unique and are not mathematical.
On the other hand, advanced subjects like Costing and Financial Management are mathematical. However, be advised that these subjects make up hardly 20% of the total course and are not as focused on maths as the one's in CA or CMA.
CS moreover focuses on Company and corporate laws. It is moreover important to have a detailed knowledge of the theoretical part. Practical knowledge is important. However, a company secretary directly doesn't involve practically into accountancy work. He/she is an officer who has to keep a check and balance over the entire working of the company for efficient administration.
I hope this would suffice.

Eligibility criteria for admission is as follows: (a) A candidate should have passed Class 10 or equivalent from a recognised Board or Institution.

CWA aspirants who have done Diploma from any Polytechnic after 10th do not meet above mentioned eligibility criteria and hence are not eligible for foundation course of CWA.
