NMAT Selection Process

The NMAT Selection procedure consists of 4 major steps - appearing for the NMAT by GMAC exam, clearing the NMAT cutoff, appearing for the GD, WAt and PI rounds, and the final merit list of the shortlisted candidates. The brief about the procedure is given below.

Step 1: Appearing for the NMAT by GMAC exam

The first step in the process is to complete the NMAT registration and appear for the exam on the set dates. The NMAT exam is scheduled for November 5 to December 20, 2024.

Step 2: Clearing the NMAT Cutoff

The second step is to clear the NMAT Cutoff. Once the NMAT result is declared, each NMAT accepting college will release their cutoff list as sectional cutoff and the overall NMAT cutoff. Candidates scoring above the minimum cutoff will then be eligible for the further selection rounds.

Step 3: Group Discussion (GD)

Candidates will be divided into groups of 7-10 and a relevant topic will be given for discussion. Candidates will be judged for their vision, viewpoints, leadership skills, and decision-making skills.

Step 4: Personal Interview (PI)

The GD round will be followed by the PI round. Candidates will be interviewed by a panel of experts and members of the internal selection committee. This round is mainly conducted to analyse the candidate's personality, his/ her confidence and knowledge of important current affairs.

Step 5: Final Selection

The final selection of candidates is based on their performance in the screening rounds. Each B-school will decide the weightage of NMAT scores for their respective selection process. The final merit list will be prepared based on marks obtained by a candidate in NMAT by GMAC, personal interview, WAT, psychometric test, work experience and past academic performance. Given below is the list of factors that will be taken into consideration at the time of final selection for 2024 admissions:

  • NMAT 2024 score
  • Personal Interview
  • Written Ability Test
  • Group Discussion
  • Academic record
  • Work Experience
  • Academic/Gender diversity

Over 40 colleges accept NMAT scores, some of which include NMIMS Mumbai, NMIMS Hyderabad, NMIMS Bangalore, ICFAI Business School, VIT Vellore, and XIM Bhubaneswar.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is NMAT cutoff??

NMAT cutoff refers to the minimum qualifying marks that the candidates must secure to be eligible for the further selection rounds at the NMAT participating institutes.

is there any sectional cutoff in NMAT??

Yes. The NMAT exam has a sectional cutoff and to qualify and be eligible for further selection rounds, candidates must clear this sectional cutoff.

What is the NMAT cutoff for NMIMS Mumbai??

The NMAT cutoff score for NMIMS is usually 235+ and the NMAT cutoff percentile ranges between 98-99.

Are NMAT cutoff and NMAT percentile different from each other or same??

The NMAT Cutoff score and NMAT percentile are 2 different concepts. The NMAT cutoff score refers to the minimum marks you need to get, whereas the NMAT percentile tells your performance percentage against the total students. For example, you scored 230 marks in the NMAT exam out of 324, and the cutoff score is 229. This means that you have cleared the NMAT Cutoff score. Now let us say that your NMAT percentile is 95%. This means you have performed better than 95% of the total test takers. Now to get admission at an NMIMS and other NMAT-accepting institutes, you need to clear both the cutoff score as well as percentile, otherwise you will not be granted admission.

Is the NMAT cutoff same for all the NMIMSs??

No. The NMAT cutoff varies with different institutes and different courses. It may be a coincidence that 2 NMIMSs have the same cutoff score and percentile, but in general, they will always vary depending on the course, institute, and seat availability.
