Based on NMAT scores, Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS) offers MBA programmes in various streams. These courses are offered by the School of Business Management (SBM), which functions under the NMIMS Deemed University. Admissions to its MBA, MBA Banking, MBA Capital Markets, MBA HR, and MBA Pharmaceutical Management are granted based on NMAT (for 2026 admissions), followed by a Competency Assessment, Case Discussion (CD), Personal Interview (PI), and other factors.
The first step to MBA admissions begins with shortlisting candidates based on NMAT cut-offs. In this article, we present the expected cut-offs for different NMIMS programmes for the 2026 admission cycle (based on NMAT 2025) according to recent trends and reports.

NMAT cut-off scores are determined by factors such as the number of test-takers, exam difficulty, and the reputation of NMIMS campuses. Candidates who clear both overall and sectional cut-offs are called for further rounds (including Competency Assessment, CD, and PI), followed by a composite merit list.
