- Students must carry original documents and self-attested photocopies for document verification.
- Documents not submitted within the deadline will result in seat cancellation.

How to Submit Documents for NPAT 2026 Seat Acceptance
After the second merit list is released, you must complete seat acceptance within the deadline NMIMS sets. Follow the steps below:
- Log in to the NPAT portal at npat.nmims.edu using your registered email and password.
- Accept your allotted seat online by selecting the offered program and campus within the acceptance window.
- Pay the seat acceptance fee online via the portal and download the payment receipt.
- Report to the allotted NMIMS campus on the document verification date mentioned in your offer letter.
- Submit originals and photocopies of all documents listed in the checklist above to the admission office.
- Collect the acknowledgement slip from the admission office after successful document verification.
NMIMS confirms admission only after physical verification of original documents. Do not delay reporting to the campus — seats are cancelled if you miss the document submission deadline without prior intimation.
Tips for Smooth Document Verification at NPAT 2026 Counselling
Use this checklist before you leave for the NMIMS campus on document verification day:
- Organise all documents in a clear plastic folder with originals on top and photocopies behind each original.
- Carry at least 4 sets of self-attested photocopies — different departments may collect separate sets.
- Verify that your name and date of birth match across all documents exactly as they appear in your NPAT 2026 application form.
- If your Class 12 result is still provisional, carry the provisional marksheet along with a board letter. Submit the final marksheet by the deadline NMIMS specifies.
- For category certificates, check the validity date — OBC-NCL and EWS certificates are typically valid for one financial year only.
- Arrive at the campus at least 30 minutes before your reporting slot to avoid last-minute delays.
- Keep digital copies of all documents on your phone as a backup in case an original is misplaced during travel.
NPAT 2026 Counselling Documents FAQs
Ques. What documents are required for NPAT 2026 seat acceptance after the second merit list?

You need the NPAT 2026 scorecard and admit card, Class 10th and 12th marksheets and passing certificates, school leaving or transfer certificate, migration certificate, passport size photographs, a valid photo ID, domicile certificate, medical fitness certificate and the seat acceptance fee receipt. Students admitted under reserved categories must also submit the relevant caste or income certificate.
Ques. Is a migration certificate mandatory for NPAT 2026 counselling?

Ques. Can I submit photocopies instead of originals at NPAT 2026 document verification?
