To facilitate smooth exam functioning, the conducting body shall provide special assistance and accommodation facility for physically challenged candidates. Test-takers can request special arrangements, which shall be allotted to them at the NMAT exam centres 2023. Candidates can use the NMAT login account to schedule the exam and choose the preferred exam centre and date. The NMAT exam scheduling and marking test centre preference is part of the application process; however, before the application process, candidates must complete NMAT 2023 registration, including fee payment.

Q:   What is the NMAT exam date?
A:

Graduate Management Admission Council conducts the NMAT exam within a particular exam timeline. Every year, NMAT exam is usually scheduled to be conducted in the last quarter of a calendar year. Candidates are able to take the exam until December. Candidates can appear for the NMAT exam three times during the testing window. Soon after taking the first exam attempt, candidates can fill the retake registration form to apply for the NMAT retake. However, one can schedule a retake of the NMAT exam 15 days after the first take.

NMAT 2026 exam dates will be revealed later.

NOTE: NMAT exam dates can vary every year. However, the timeline remains the same.

Q:   Who releases the NMAT exam dates?
A:

Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) releases the NMAT exam dates every year. GMAC conducts the NMAT exam once every year within a specific testing window. Candidates can appear for the NMAT exam three times during this testing  window. The NMAT exam dates can be found on the official exam website. While scheduling the NMAT exam, candidates can choose a desired date to appear for the NMAT exam. Alternatively, NMAT exam dates can be found on shiksha's page for NMAT exam.

Q:   What is meant by NMAT retake window?
A:
GMAC conducts NMAT with a aspirant-first approach. Candidates can appear for NMAT three times during one exam session. That means, GMAC provides one main attempt and two retake attempts for the NMAT exam. The meaning of retake of the NMAT exam implies that any applicant can attempt the test thrice, including the first attempt. In other words, the process of reappearing for the exam is known as exam retake. Candidates aspiring for a retake attempt have to apply using the NMAT retake window. However, candidates can reappear for the exam, not before 15 days after the first attempt. Similarly, third exam attempt can only be scheduled on a date 15 days after the second attempt for NMAT exam.
