The cutoff will determine which candidates proceed to the next stage of the admission process, which typically includes competency assessments and personal interviews as part of the selection criteria.

While the official cutoff for NMIMS 2026 admissions has not yet been published, analysis of previous years' trends and expected figures offers MBA aspirants a clear idea of target scores and percentiles required to stay competitive.

Expected NMAT Cut Off Score & Percentile for NMIMS 2026

Based on the NMAT 2025 score distribution and previous trends, here are expected NMAT cut off ranges for various NMIMS campuses:

NMIMS Bangalore	222+	93-96
NMIMS Navi Mumbai	200+	92-95

These figures are indicative based on past data and the difficulty level of the NMAT exam. Actual cutoffs for 2026 will be declared by NMIMS on the official admission portal once results and subsequent shortlists are published.

What Cut Off Means for You

The NMAT cutoff is the minimum score requirement that candidates must meet to be considered for the next rounds of the NMIMS MBA admission process. Simply clearing the cutoff does not guarantee final admission, but it is necessary to move forward in the selection stages.

How NMIMS Shortlists Candidates

While NMAT scores are crucial, NMIMS follows a multi-stage selection process where the final merit list is prepared based on several components:

NMAT score (minimum threshold to qualify)
Competency Assessment Test
Personal Interview / Group Discussion
Academic performance (Class 10, 12, and graduation)
Work experience (if any)

In recent years, NMIMS has changed its weightage structure, assigning:

NMAT scores - 20%
Competency Assessment - 50%
Personal Interview - 10%
Work Experience - 10%
Academic record - 10%

in the final composite score used for final selection lists.

This means NMAT performance is just one part of the overall evaluation, though meeting the cutoff remains a key early requirement.

Tips for Aspiring Candidates

If your NMAT score is around or above the expected cutoff range, begin preparing for the competency test and interview rounds.
Focus on all components of the selection process; especially the competency assessment and interview, which carry significant weight.
Stay updated with official announcements on the NMIMS NMAT admission portal for precise cutoff scores once released.

Final Notes

The NMIMS NMAT Cut Off 2026 will officially be published on the NMIMS MBA admission portal soon. Till then, aspirants can use these benchmark targets to assess their chances and plan preparation strategies for the next stages of the selection process.
