CAT is widely accepted across most the top-tier private MBA colleges in India besides all the top IIMs, but the scores alone are not enough, especially in institutes like Management Development Institute, SPJIMR, MICA, etc. There are interview rounds and candidate profile selections to go through after the CAT exam.
Not all top B schools in India, however, that are self-financed require CAT. Best would be going through our guide on Indian MBA colleges without CAT, which lists Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Delhi, JBIMS, Mumbai, FORE School of Management, and others.

With an NMAT score of 209 (QA: 62, LR: 63, English: 84), here's how your chances look:
NMIMS (Mumbai & Other Campuses)
- NMIMS Mumbai (Flagship MBA):
- Typical cutoff is 235–250+.
- At 209, admission to Mumbai campus is unlikely.
- NMIMS Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Navi Mumbai, Indore, Dhule:
- Cutoffs are lower (200–210+ range).
- You have a realistic chance at these campuses, especially Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
TAPMI (Manipal)
- Accepts NMAT, CAT, XAT, GMAT.
- Cutoff is usually 80+ percentile in CAT/XAT or 210+ NMAT.
- With 209, you are borderline but competitive. Strong profile (academics, work ex, GD/PI) can help secure admission.

No, the flagship Post Graduate Programme (PGP) at Indian School of Business does not accept NMAT scores for admission.
For the PGP (MBA-equivalent programme), ISB requires GMAT or GRE scores only.
NMAT may be accepted for some other programmes at ISB, such as executive or specialised courses, but not for the core PGP.
So if you're targeting ISB's main MBA programme, you should focus on GMAT or GRE.
