NMAT

NMAT does not specify a minimum percentage requirement. However, most participating MBA colleges require at least 50% marks in graduation for admission.

NMAT 2026 eligibility criteria include a bachelor’s degree in any discipline, no age limit, and up to three attempts in one testing cycle. Institute-specific requirements may vary.

Yes, NMAT 2026 candidates can reschedule their exam date, time, or test centre up to 72 hours before the scheduled exam, subject to slot availability. Log in to your NMAT dashboard, select the reschedule option, choose a new date/slot/centre, and pay a rescheduling fee of Rs 1,200 plus taxes to confirm.

Candidates can take the NMAT exam up to three times in one testing cycle — one first attempt plus two retakes. A minimum 15-day gap is mandatory between two valid attempts. Most B-schools accept the highest score, but NMIMS Mumbai considers only the first-attempt score for admissions.
