NMIMS does not accept scores of the CAT exam for admission in its MBA courses. Even if you have a good percentile in CAT, you have to qualify the eligibility criteria for NMIMS MBA as well as take the NMAT exam. NMAT exam is a national level exam conducted by GMAC as an entrance exam for admission in MBA programs.

Typically, the admission cycle for MBA at NMIMS Indore begins with the NMAT registration in August-October. The NMIMS online application also opens around August- October simultaneously. The NMAT examination takes place in November-December. After shortlisting of candidates, the Competency Assessment Test and Personal Interview rounds are conducted in January- February. The merit list is declared between February-April. After the submission of fee, the new academic session at NMIMS begins in June.

PIBM Pune provides opportunities to students to enrol to MBA and PGDM programs even with low CAT scores based on the profile and interview performance of the student. We conduct our internal assessment test called PMAT, in which students are required to score a minimum of 50% to qualify for the GD and PI rounds. These rounds are conducted to assess the overall personality of the students, aiming to get an overview of their dedication and intent to pursue the course to achieve the desired cumulative goal of being a talented working professional. PIBM is dedicated to providing job-description-based training to students.

The candidates who have given more than one preference for MBA programme or NMIMS campus in their application forms are selected based on their merit score and availability of the seats in the respective program.
