NMAT Registration 2025

NMAT 2025 registration is a two step process. Candidates need to create a GMAC account at mba.com, followed by filling the NMAT application form.

NMAT exam scheduling is available inside the NMAT registration login. The scheduling link will be activated inside the login immediately after the candidate has paid the NMAT registration fee.

While filling the NMAT application form, candidates can choose up to five accepting b-schools. For every additional b-school selection, candidates need to pay a processing fee. NMAT 2025 is accepted by as many as 57 b-schools in India, including NMIMS, KJ Somaiya, TAPMI, among others. Candidates must fill MBA application forms for their desired b-schools seperately. Besides India, NMAT is accepted by colleges in the Philippines, Nigeria, South Africa, Hungary, and Morocco.

Candidates who wish to apply for more than one attempt of NMAT will have to complete the retake registration. NMAT retake registration window will be active once the candidate has appeared for the first attempt at NMAT 2025 exam.

Q: Β  Will I have to fill a separate application form for NMAT and participating institutes?
A:
Yes. Candidates will have to fill the NMAT application form to appear for the exam. To apply for admission based on NMAT scores, candidates will have to fill the application form at desired college website. All NMAT participating institutes have a separate admission window. Therefore, candidates must be cautious of crucial deadlines to apply for admission based on NMAT exam scores. Besides a separate application form, several participating institutes have a criterion to only accept the NMAT score from the first attempt. Therefore, candidates must check the eligibility as well as the admission deadline of the desired college that accepts NMAT scores for MBA Admission.
Q: Β  Is there any provision of NMAT application form correction?
A:
No, there is no provision of form correction in the NMAT exam. The 'School Preference' and 'Communication Preference' fields in the application form are enabled after the payment of the application fee. All the particulars must be carefully cross-checked before submitting the NMAT application form. Candidates who make errors in the NMAT registration form will have to fill the form again with a new phone number and email ID. Additionally, such candidates have to pay the application fee again as the fee is non-refundable once paid. Therefore, candidates must be cautious while filling the NMAT application form.
Q: Β  How many times is NMAT registration window facilitated?
A:
GMAC facilitates NMAT registration window once every year. Registration for the NMAT exam is accepted one time in one exam session. Since candidates can take the test thrice, GMAC facilitates the NMAT retake registration window soon after the exam window starts. For an attempt over and above the regular attempt, candidates have to use the NMAT retake registration window. Besides the NMAT registration and NMAT retake registration, the candidate portal also hosts a scheduling window. This scheduling window helps candidates to choose the exam slot and exam venue. The allotment of exam slot and test centre is done on first-cum-first-serve basis.
