The NMAT 2026 cutoff will be announced online. Candidates can check the cutoff marks after the results are declared. The cutoff will be released separately for each MBA specialisation on the official website.

Each participating institution will publish its own NMAT cutoff for its respective campus. To proceed with the admission process, candidates must meet the specified cutoff marks.

NMAT 2026 Cutoff Highlights

The NMAT cutoff is the minimum score required for candidates to qualify for the next stage of the admission process. Key highlights of the NMAT 2026 cutoff are as follows:

• Each participating institute determines its own NMAT cutoff based on its admission criteria.
• Candidates must secure the minimum cutoff score prescribed by the respective institute to be considered for the selection process.
• Several B-schools set different cutoff scores for different MBA/PGDM programmes.
• Depending on the institute and campus, the cutoff may be announced either as a score or a percentile.
• Candidates meeting the prescribed cutoff are shortlisted for subsequent selection rounds, such as Group Discussion (GD), Written Ability Test (WAT), Personal Interview (PI), or other evaluation processes, as applicable.
• The overall NMAT cutoff generally ranges between 150 and 250, varying across institutes and programmes.
• NMAT scores are accepted by 40+ B-schools in India and 20+ international business schools for MBA admissions.

NMAT 2026 Counselling

The NMAT counselling process will be the final step for admission to various campuses. It will involve multiple stages, including Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI), to select candidates.

Some participating institutes may also conduct a Writing Ability Test (WAT) or a Case Discussion (CD) round instead of the traditional GD round. Admission decisions will be based on the NMAT 2026 exam scores. Candidates will also need to provide documents for verification during the counselling process.
