That's a solid score! With an NMAT score of 181, you are certainly eligible for many decent, non-top-tier B-schools.

To find a good college where you have strong admission chances, focus on institutions with NMAT cutoffs typically ranging from 150 to 180. These often include:

• VIT University (Vellore): MBA

• SRM University (Chennai): MBA/PGDM

• BML Munjal University (Gurugram)

• Thapar School of Management (Mohali)

• Alliance University (Bangalore)

These colleges offer good programs and placements without the extreme competition of NMIMS Mumbai/Bangalore.

Thank you!

Hello, This is a difficult situation. Unfortunately, if you paid your NMAT registration fee but missed the deadline to schedule your exam slot, you generally cannot schedule that attempt. The scheduling window is strict, and once it closes, you lose that attempt and the fee is forfeited. "Rescheduling" is a paid option that only applies if you have already scheduled a date and want to change it to a different date (at least 72 hours in advance).

• My strong recommendation is to immediately log in to your NMAT dashboard and check if the option to register for a "Retake" is available. If not, you must contact NMAT customer support right away to explain the situation, though it is very likely you will have to book and pay for a retake.

I hope you found this information helpful, and for any study related problems you can ask in careers360 app.

Have a great day!

Hello,

If you have booked the NMAT exam but missed the slot booking deadline, unfortunately, you cannot schedule the exam for that attempt now, as NMAT strictly closes the slot booking once the window ends.

However, you can still book a retake only if your previous attempt was completed within the exam window and the retake registration is open on your NMAT dashboard. If you didn’t take the first test at all, you’ll need to wait for the next NMAT cycle.

It’s advised to keep checking your NMAT by GMAC account and official notifications in case the window is extended or reopened. Otherwise, you’ll have to reapply in the next session when registrations begin again.

Hope you understand.

Hello,
