Every year, the Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS) holds a national management entrance exam called the NMIMS Management Aptitude Test (NMAT) to accept students to management programs.

The Graduate Management Admission Council assists in the administration of the exam (GMAC).

The NMAT test is structured similarly to national MBA entrance exams such as the CAT and XAT. The NMAT 2023 test was divided into three sections, with Language Skills, Quantitative Skills, and Logical Reasoning being the most important.

The NMAT Exam Pattern also suggests that each of the three portions of the NMAT test be timed separately. Furthermore, due to the GMAC test design, there is no negative marking in the NMAT.

Some important points to be kept in mind are

1. 120 questions
2. Individually timed sections
3. No negative marking
4. Uniform marking scheme
5. Facility to review answers
6. 3 attempts allowed
7. Choice of self-scheduling NMAT by GMAC
