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
