The NMAT Exam 2024 is an important entrance exam for business schools in India and around the world. It is run by GMAC, the same people who manage the GMAT. The NMAT exam is flexible because candidates can take it up to three times within 70 days, and the best score counts.

 

To take the NMAT Exam, candidates need to have at least 50% in their graduation from any field. There is no age limit. Even students in their final year of graduation can apply. This makes the NMAT more accessible compared to other exams like CAT and XAT, giving candidates more chances to get a good score.

 

Some of the top colleges that accept NMAT scores are NMIMS Mumbai, SPJIMR Mumbai, and ISB Hyderabad. These colleges offer great education and career opportunities. 

 

NMAT Registration 2024 is expected to start in the first week of August 2024. The exam will probably happen in the second week of October 2024. Candidates can register for the NMAT on the official website , where all the details and updates are available.

What is NMAT 2024?

 

NMAT or NMAT by GMAC is a national-level entrance exam conducted to promote an MBA admission at NMIMS University and other top-ranked B Schools in India and abroad. Even though the exam was originally conducted by the Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, GMAC started conducting it later. The NMAT Exam is an innovative exam-making for the candidate, which exams test-takers the choice of exams from the time and place to be completed and scheduling according to their preference. This provision is similar to the GMAT test, where candidates choose the day, time, and test site based on availability at the desired test center. It is an annual test in which a candidate is evaluated within the test window on a scheduled date. The NMAT by GMAC score is determined by the test takers’ performance in three areas: Language Skills, Quantitative Skills, and Logical Reasoning.
