The SVKMs Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS) has not yet published the MBA admission calls or the detailed post‑NMAT dates for 2026 on its official admissions portal nmat.nmims.edu. Candidates who appeared for the NMAT 2025/2026 cycle are currently waiting for updates on selection rounds and cut‑off criteria that will lead to shortlisting and further evaluation for MBA programmes.
Post‑NMAT Schedule Yet to Be Announced
Despite expectations based on previous years, NMIMS has not shared any official timeline for the next steps in the MBA admissions process after NMAT. Typically, the institute releases a post‑NMAT schedule that outlines important activities such as competency assessments, personal interviews and other selection components shortly after the NMAT window closes. However, for 2026 admissions, these dates are still awaited on the institute’s official portal. In the 2025 admission cycle, NMIMS had announced post‑NMAT dates and shortlist calls around mid‑January, enabling candidates to prepare for the subsequent stages of selection. Based on those trends, aspirants are anticipating similar announcements in January 2026.
Selection Criteria Expectations
NMIMS typically shortlists candidates for MBA programmes based on their NMAT score, followed by further evaluation rounds. Last admission cycles included a mix of aptitude assessments, personal interviews and academic profile reviews as part of the final selection process. While exact criteria and weightages for 2026 are yet to be officially declared, similar components are expected to form part of the admission framework once dates are announced. The institute uses NMAT scores to create an initial merit list, and candidates who meet or exceed the cut‑off benchmarks are then called for second‑stage activities. These stages often include competency assessments and interviews, which, together with NMAT performance, determine final admission offers.
What Candidates Should Do Next?
MBA aspirants waiting for NMIMS admission updates should routinely check nmat.nmims.edu for official notifications regarding:
- Release of admission calls and shortlist list for MBA programmes
- Post‑NMAT dates for assessments and interviews
- Detailed selection criteria and cut‑off scores
Until official communication is made public, candidates should keep their NMAT credentials ready and prepare for the potential next stages of the admission process. NMIMS applicants are advised not to rely on unofficial sources and instead track announcements from the official nmat.nmims.edu portal for confirmed schedules and instructions.
