I have scored 158 marks in nmat can I get any decent college for mba
Hi there,
A score of 158 in NMAT is generally low compared to the typical cut-offs for many MBA colleges. In terms of percentiles, a score of 157–158 usually falls around the 10th percentile, meaning most candidates scored higher than you in the exam.
Top and mid-tier MBA colleges that accept NMAT scores often set much higher cut-offs. For example, well-known institutes like NMIMS Mumbai, NMIMS Bangalore, XIMB, TAPMI, and SDA Bocconi typically require scores above 190–200, often near the 90th percentile, for shortlisting.
With a score of 158, your chances at these reputable institutes are limited. However, some colleges have lower cut-offs or accept NMAT scores with more flexible criteria. Examples include IBS Hyderabad, certain business schools, or private universities where cut-offs might be closer to the lower end of the score range.
Feel free to reach out if you have any other queries, wishing you all the best.
