NMAT 2025 does not have a centralized or unified counseling process. Instead, the admission process after NMAT results is managed separately by each participating B-school, with candidates needing to apply individually to each institute they’re interested in.
NMAT 2025 Counseling Admission Process
Take the NMAT Exam: Register and appear for the NMAT by GMAC 2025 exam within the designated testing window.
Check Your Scores: Results are available on the official NMAT website within 48 hours of your test date.
Apply to B-Schools Separately: After getting your score, apply individually to each NMAT-accepting college you are interested in. Each institute has its own cut-off, application procedure, and deadlines.
Shortlisting: Based on your NMAT score, academic record, and other criteria, institutes will publish their shortlist for the next round.
Selection Rounds: If shortlisted, you will be invited to one or more of the following, depending on the B-school:
Final Selection: Institutes will make a final offer based on your NMAT score, performance in the GD/WAT/PI rounds, academic profile, and sometimes work experience.
Admission Offer & Fee Payment: If selected, accept the offer and pay the required admission fee within the stipulated time to secure your seat.
