Coaching institute NMAT answer keys are unofficial and indicative only. They are largely memory-based and are not endorsed by GMAC. Because NMAT is adaptive with unique question sets, these keys cannot match your exact questions or predict your scaled score and percentile. Rely on your official GMAC scorecard for your result.

GMAC does not release an NMAT answer key because the exam is computer-adaptive and has no fixed marks per question. Questions are selected one at a time from a large pool and matched to your ability, so candidates receive different question sets. With unique questions and difficulty-based scoring, a single common answer key is not possible.

The NMAT 2026 scorecard is available for download within 48 hours of taking the exam, and you are notified by email when it is ready. It shows your scaled section scores and total score. In cases flagged with a test-security incident, the exam is audited and the result is published within 10 working days.

No, there is no official NMAT 2026 answer key. GMAC does not release an answer key because NMAT is a computer-adaptive exam where questions are picked from a pool and targeted to each candidate's ability. Two candidates rarely see the same questions, so GMAC releases an official scorecard instead, within 48 hours of the exam.

NMAT 2026 cut offs are expected to be released by individual colleges as their admission cycles open, tentatively from October 2026. Each college, including NMIMS, KJ Somaiya and TAPMI, declares its own cut off separately rather than through GMAC.

No, there is no single common NMAT cut off. Each NMAT-accepting college releases its own cut off separately, based on the scaled score (36–360). NMIMS Mumbai is the most competitive, while other colleges set lower cut offs across different score bands.

MBA colleges accepting around a 70 percentile NMAT score (about 205) in 2026 include ICFAI Business School Pune, UPES Dehradun, Ahmedabad University and GITAM University. Several colleges also accept scores in the 195–205 band, near the 50–60 percentile range.

The NMAT score is converted to percentile using GMAC's official mapping of the 36–360 scaled score. For example, 245+ equals the 100 percentile, 220 equals 90, 211 equals 80, 205 equals about 69, and 194 equals the 50 percentile.

A good NMAT score for top MBA colleges in 2026 is above 220, equivalent to about the 90 percentile. Colleges such as KJ Somaiya, XIM University (XIMB), TAPMI and Great Lakes typically expect scores in the 220–230 range, while SDA Bocconi expects around 215–225.

The NMAT cut off 2026 for NMIMS Mumbai is an expected scaled score of around 209, which is roughly the 76 percentile on the official GMAC scale. Cut offs for other NMIMS campuses are generally lower. NMIMS considers only your first-attempt NMAT score for admission.
