The NPAT 2026 seat matrix after Round 1 confirms seats are still available across all eight NMIMS campuses for the second merit list, with outstation campuses like Shirpur, Indore, and Chandigarh carrying the most vacancies for allotment on July 9, 2026.
NMIMS has completed Round 1 allotments under NPAT 2026. Students who did not receive a seat or did not accept their Round 1 allotment remain eligible for the second merit list. Seats released by students who rejected their allotment or failed to pay the acceptance fee are pooled together with remaining unfilled seats and offered in Round 2. Allotment follows the same merit-order principle — students with higher NPAT scores receive priority across their preferred campus and program choices.
- Second merit list expected date: July 9, 2026
- Seats available at 8 NMIMS campuses: Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Shirpur, Indore, and Dhule
- Programs with Round 2 openings: BBA, B.Com (Hons.), B.Sc. Economics, B.Sc. Finance, and B.Tech
- Allotment is based strictly on NPAT 2026 merit score in descending order
- Students receiving a Round 2 seat must pay the acceptance fee within the given deadline to confirm their admission

NPAT 2026 Seat Matrix Overview
NMIMS conducts NPAT (NMIMS Programs After Twelfth) for admission to undergraduate programs across eight campuses in India. The total sanctioned intake under NPAT 2026 spans approximately 2,500 seats across BBA, B.Com (Hons.), B.Sc. Economics, B.Sc. Finance, and B.Tech programs. Round 1 allotment filled the largest share of seats at high-demand campuses like Mumbai and Bengaluru, while outstation campuses retained a higher proportion of open vacancies heading into Round 2.
Seats released by students who rejected their Round 1 allotment or missed the acceptance fee deadline are added back into the Round 2 pool alongside seats that went unallotted in Round 1. The second merit list is strictly merit-based — the student with the highest NPAT 2026 score among those awaiting allotment receives priority.

Program-Wise Seat Breakdown for Second Merit List
BBA and B.Com (Hons.) account for the largest share of Round 2 openings as they are offered at the most campuses. B.Tech seats at Mumbai and Navi Mumbai fill quickly in Round 1, but Shirpur and Dhule campuses carry significant B.Tech vacancies into Round 2. B.Sc. Finance is available only at Mumbai, so availability there is very limited after Round 1. Students should compare their NPAT 2026 merit score against Round 1 closing ranks to estimate their chances in Round 2.
| Program | High-Demand Campuses | Expected Open Seats in Round 2 |
|---|---|---|
| BBA | Mumbai, Bengaluru | Yes — primarily at Shirpur, Indore, Chandigarh |
| B.Com (Hons.) | Mumbai, Navi Mumbai | Yes — available at most campuses except Mumbai |
| B.Sc. Economics | Mumbai, Bengaluru | Limited — few seats remain, especially at Mumbai |
| B.Sc. Finance | Mumbai only | Very limited — check npat.nmims.edu for confirmed count |
| B.Tech | Mumbai, Navi Mumbai | Yes — good availability at Shirpur and Dhule |
