NMAT Registration 2026 Ongoing: Know Last Date to Apply, Exam Dates Here

The NMAT REGISTRATION 2026 process is nearing its deadline, with the last date to apply set for October 10, 2026. Students planning to appear for the NMAT EXAM 2026 must complete the application and fee payment before the registration window closes.

The NMAT exam is conducted by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) for admission to MBA and other management programmes at participating business schools. Registration is completed online, while exam slot booking is a separate process. Students should note that completing NMAT REGISTRATION does not automatically book an exam date. After submitting the application and paying the fee, applicants need to use the scheduling facility to select their preferred date, time and test centre.

According to the official schedule, NMAT REGISTRATION 2026 will close on October 10. The NMAT EXAM scheduling window will remain open until October 22, giving registered applicants additional time to book their test slots.

The NMAT EXAM 2026 will be conducted from November 2 to December 20. Since exam slots are available on a first-come, first-served basis, applicants are advised to complete scheduling early. The NMAT last date to apply 2026 is therefore October 10. However, students who complete their application on time can continue with exam scheduling until October 22.

After completing NMAT REGISTRATION, applicants need to book their NMAT EXAM slot separately. The scheduling facility allows students to select an available exam date, time and test centre. The exam can be attempted up to three times during the testing cycle, subject to the applicable retake rules. Each attempt requires the relevant registration and scheduling process.

Applicants should also remember that NMAT by GMAC registration and B-school applications are separate. Students targeting specific MBA colleges must check and complete the admission application of those institutes separately.
