Official Details
NMAT 2026 NMIMS MBA admission is a two-step form. The NMIMS page says the application closes on 10 October 2026. Start on nmat.nmims.edu. NMAT dates and the test fee are on mba.com NMAT dates.
What NMIMS actually does
SVKM’s NMIMS is a private deemed university. The apply page lists a two-year MBA at Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Indore, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad. NMAT by GMAC is the test. Registering for the test is step 1. The NMIMS programme form is step 2. The official popup says the application is complete only after step 2 is submitted.
What kind of seat this is
This is a full-time MBA admission for the 2027 batch, not a job. The exam is delivered between 2 November 2026 and 20 December 2026. You pick a slot. Slots are first come, first served on the GMAC page.
Who should apply — and who should skip
Apply if you have a bachelor’s degree and can finish both steps before 10 October 2026. The official FAQ says work experience is generally not mandatory for most full-time MBA programmes, though it can carry weight later.
Skip if you plan to use a retake as your NMIMS score. The FAQ says NMIMS accepts only the first attempt. Skip if you only register on mba.com and never submit step 2 on the NMIMS page. Skip specialised MBAs until you open that programme’s own eligibility — the homepage does not print a marks cutoff or a subject list.
