Hi there,

With an NMAT score of 216 (LR 76, VA 74, QA 66), you have a wide range of good options for admission. You can consider schools where your score is at par with the scores of admitted students, such as NMIMS campuses in Mumbai, Bangalore, and Hyderabad, Xavier University Bhubaneswar, ICFAI Business School (various campuses), and other private universities such as Alliance University, Amity, VIT, and Shiv Nadar University.

For KJ Somaiya and TAPMI, your score is close to their average cutoffs. KJ Somaiya generally has cutoffs in the range of 216–220, whereas TAPMI usually requires a score of 220 or higher. You may be considered for the interview, but your selection could be borderline depending on the year and the strength of the applicant pool.

If your goal is to strengthen your chances at KJ Somaiya, TAPMI, or premium NMIMS campuses, you may consider retaking the exam for a higher score. That said, with a 216, you already have several good options among reputable B-schools this year.

Feel free to reach out if you have any other queries, wishing you all the best.
