How to Read Your NMAT 2026 Scaled Score
NMAT uses a scaled scoring system. The score is not a count of correct answers. GMAC applies statistical methods so scores are comparable across different test versions.
- Score 230 and above: Strong profile for NMIMS Mumbai MBA shortlisting consideration.
- Score 209 to 229: Near the NMIMS Mumbai MBA 2026 cutoff of 209. Eligible if sectional minimums are met.
- Score 175 to 208: Competitive for NMIMS Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Navi Mumbai campuses.
- Score below 175: Consider retaking NMAT before December 20, 2026 if the window is open.
Key Insight: NMIMS MBA 2027 shortlisting requires a minimum of 60 in each section in addition to meeting the overall total cutoff (based on NMAT 2025 cycle data). A total score of 215 with a 55 in one section will not pass the NMIMS sectional minimum. Check section scores immediately after result and plan a retake if any section is below 60.

Key Insight: NMIMS MBA 2026 shortlisting weighted the Competency Test at 60% and the Personal Interview at 15%, with work experience at 15% (based on NMAT 2025 cycle data). The NMAT score alone does not determine the final merit. Candidates shortlisted by score must prepare seriously for the Competency Test, which carries the highest weight in final selection.
