As GMAC states, “Candidates who have used all three attempts for the NMAT by GMAC exam for the testing year 1st July 2020 – 30th June 2021 cannot register for the additional window.

Candidates will be allowed only one attempt within this window. The test centres and slots will be assigned on a first come first serve basis. The option to take the proctored exam from home will also be available. The NMAT exam pattern will remain the same. The application fee will be Rs 2,300 plus taxes.
Talking about the rationale behind conducting the second phase of NMAT, Gaurav Srivastava, Regional Director, South Asia, GMAC says, “This is to help candidates who might have missed taking the test earlier as well as schools that require more applications and have extended their applications deadline. I am also pleased to share that K.J. Somaiya Institute of Management is now an NMAT-accepting B-School for all their programs.”
