NPAT 2026 Phase 2 Merit List: Key Details
The NPAT Phase 2 merit list is prepared using your highest score across all attempts in the cycle — up to three attempts per registration. A lower merit rank number means a higher rank: Merit Rank 50 is better than Merit Rank 500. The merit list is not a downloadable PDF; it is your personal admission status visible only after logging in to the candidate portal.

- Visit the official NPAT portal at npat.nmims.edu.
- Click Candidate Login at the top-right corner of the homepage.
- Enter your registered Email ID and Password.
- After logging in, navigate to the Merit List or Admission Status section on your dashboard.
- Click the NPAT Merit List tab to open your scorecard.

How to Accept Your Seat After NPAT 2026 Merit List
After confirming your merit rank, complete these steps to secure your seat within the deadline for your allotment round:
- Complete counselling registration within three to five days of the merit list release through your candidate login on npat.nmims.edu.
- Fill programme and campus preferences — you can apply to a maximum of five programmes. Indicate your preferred campus from the eight NMIMS locations during preference filling.
- Upload required documents as listed in the Documents section below. Students awaiting Class 12 results may upload an appearing certificate or provisional marksheet at this stage.
- Receive your seat allotment — NMIMS allots seats based on your merit rank, programme and campus preferences, and available seats in each round.
- Pay the admission confirmation fee online within two to three days of the allotment notification. This is mandatory to lock in your seat.
- Confirm seat acceptance on the portal after fee payment. You will receive a confirmation email once admission is secured.
Do not miss the fee deadline. If the admission fee is not paid within the stipulated window, your seat is automatically released to the next student on the merit list and cannot be recovered in the same round.
Documents Required for Seat Acceptance
Prepare these documents before starting counselling registration to avoid delays during the upload stage:
| Document | Note |
|---|---|
| Class 10 Marksheet | For date of birth verification and basic eligibility |
| Class 12 Marksheet or Appearing Certificate | Provisional certificate accepted if results are awaited |
| NPAT Scorecard or Admit Card | Download from the candidate login portal |
| Valid Photo ID | Aadhaar, PAN, or Passport |
| Passport-size Photographs | Recent, colour |
| Transfer Certificate | From your current school or institution |
| Category Certificate | Required for SC, ST, and OBC students |
All documents must be uploaded in the format and size specified on the portal. Ensure scans are clear and all text is legible before uploading to avoid rejection during document verification.
NPAT 2026 Seat Allotment Rounds and Dates
NMIMS conducts multiple allotment rounds each admission cycle. Seats not accepted in one round move to the next, giving students with lower merit ranks a better chance at their preferred programmes or campuses.
| Round | Allotment Date | Fee Payment Window |
|---|---|---|
| Round 1 and Round 2 | June 24, 2026 | 2 to 3 days after allotment |
| Round 3 | Around June 27, 2026 | 2 to 3 days after allotment |
| Second Merit List and Additional Rounds | Expected late July 2026 | As notified on the portal |
NMIMS does not operate a management quota. Any claims on social media about direct admissions or seat reservations outside the merit process are false. Always verify your allotment status through your official candidate login at npat.nmims.edu.
NPAT 2026 Phase 2 Merit List FAQs
Ques. When will the NPAT 2026 Phase 2 second merit list be released?
Ans. The second merit list for NPAT 2026 Phase 2 is expected in late July 2026 for seats that remain vacant after earlier allotment rounds. Monitor npat.nmims.edu regularly for the official notification date.
Ques. What does a lower merit rank number mean in NPAT?
Ans. A lower number indicates a higher rank. Merit Rank 50 is better than Merit Rank 500. NMIMS allots seats in order of merit rank during each round, so a lower number gives you priority for preferred programmes and campuses.
Ques. Can I change my programme or campus preference after the merit list is released?
Ans. Preferences are submitted during the counselling registration window before allotment. Once a seat is allotted and the fee is paid, preferences cannot generally be changed for that round. You may update them in a subsequent round if you choose not to accept the current allotment.
Ques. What happens if I miss the admission fee payment deadline after seat allotment?
Ans. If the admission confirmation fee is not paid within the two-to-three day window, your seat is automatically cancelled and offered to the next student on the merit list. You may still be considered in subsequent rounds if vacant seats remain.
Ques. I am awaiting my Class 12 results. Can I still accept my NPAT 2026 seat?
Ans. Yes. Students awaiting Class 12 results can upload an appearing certificate or provisional marksheet during the document upload stage. The final marksheet must be submitted before or at the time of physical document verification.
Ques. How many programmes can I apply for through a single NPAT registration?
Ans. You can apply to a maximum of five programmes through one NPAT registration. This covers programmes across all eight NMIMS campuses: Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Indore, Chandigarh, Navi Mumbai, Dhule, and Shirpur.
