Important Points for Aspirants
- NMAT registration does not apply a candidate to any B-school. Each school lists its own application deadlines on its website, so candidates should check the admission dates of their target institutes, such as NMIMS, separately.
- Candidates who have already registered can use the extended window to schedule or change their slot.
- Check official updates on the NMAT by GMAC website before the deadline.
