  We revisit the light pseudoscalar $A_1$ in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric
Standard Model (NMSSM) with partial universality at some high unification scale
in order to delineate the parameter space regions consistent with up-to-date
theoretical and experimental constraints and examine to what extent this state
can be probed by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) during Run 2. We find that it
can be accessible through a variety of signatures proceeding via $A_1\to
\tau^+\tau^-$ and/or $b\bar b$, the former assuming hadronic decays and the
latter two $b$-tags within a fat jet or two separate slim ones. Herein, the
light pseudoscalar state is produced from a heavy Higgs boson decay in either
pairs or singly in association with a $Z$ boson (in turn decaying into
electrons/muons).
