Mumbai's SVKMs NMIMS (Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies) has not yet released important dates for its MBA admission process for the 2026 academic year. Many students are waiting for updates on when the university will announce its post-NMAT schedule, shortlist of candidates, and cutoffs.
Looking at previous years, NMIMS usually announces these dates around mid-January. For the last admission cycle, the full schedule for the MBA program was shared on January 10 . The list of selected candidates (shortlist) and minimum required scores (cutoffs) were announced on January 18 . However, for the current 2026 cycle, no such announcements have been made yet.
All candidates who took the NMAT exam and wish to join NMIMS MBA programs should regularly check the official website, nmat.nmims.edu , for the latest information. NMIMS will select candidates mainly based on their scores from the first attempt at the NMAT exam.
How NMIMS Selects Students (Expected Process)
Based on the previous year's admissions, students who are shortlisted (selected for the next round) will likely need to go through a skill test (Competency Assessment) and a personal interview. In the last cycle, the NMAT exam score was given less importance compared to these other parts of the selection process. Students can expect a similar process this year, though official confirmation is still awaited.
Here is how the selection process for NMIMS MBA admissions was weighted in the last cycle:
| Part of Selection Process | Importance (Weightage) |
| NMAT scores | 20% |
| Skill Test (Competency Assessment) | 50% |
| Personal Interview | 10% |
| Work Experience | 10% |
| Academic Record (Class 12th) | 5% |
| Academic Record (Graduation - pre-final year percentage) | 5% |
| Total | 100% |
What to Do Next
Students should not make any guesses about changes in cutoffs or admission rules. It is best to wait for an official statement directly from SVKMs NMIMS. The university will release all details about the selection process and cutoffs very soon on its official website.
Important Note on Direct Admission
Students cannot get direct admission to NMIMS Mumbai. Everyone who wants to join a program at NMIMS must take the specific entrance exams for that course. NMIMS accepts scores from various national-level entrance tests for its different programs (undergraduate, postgraduate, and PhD courses).
- For MBA, the NMAT exam is key.
- Other accepted exams include NMIMS CET, GPAT, and NMIMS-NPAT for other courses.
So, students must meet the eligibility rules and pass the required entrance exam for their chosen course.
