• Complete the online form carefully, ensuring names and birthdates match your official ID.
  

• Upload clear, compliant ID‐photo (ideally passport-size, light background) as it will appear on your admit card.
  

• Prepare strategically using mock tests and time management drills; the NMAT official guide and practice tests are available via mba.com/nmat.
  

• Download your admit card at least 7 days before each scheduled attempt; new admit cards must be downloaded separately for each try.

 Why does NMAT remain important?

• Flexibility levels the playing field: candidates get to choose test dates and can retake up to three times.
  

• Quick score turnaround and absence of negative marking add to its appeal.
  

• Accepted by prestigious MBA institutes like NMIMS, SPJIMR, ISB, XIMB, TAPMI and more, making it a versatile option for admission planning.
