NMIMS University Mumbai

Latest Admission Updates (2026)

NMIMS University Mumbai (SVKM's Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies) runs separate, exam-specific admission cycles for its management, engineering, law, design, pharmacy and liberal-education programmes, so the single most important thing for a 2026 aspirant is to track the right entrance test for the right course. The biggest recent development is on the undergraduate side: the NPAT 2026 results are now out. Below are the dated updates that matter most as of June 2026, with the freshest item surfaced first.

• 22-23 June 2026 (NEW - result out): SVKM's NMIMS declared the NPAT 2026 result and course-wise merit list on 22-23 June 2026 at npat.nmims.edu for UG admissions to BBA, B.Sc and B.Com programmes across all NMIMS campuses. Candidates log in with their registered email and password to check merit rank, qualifying status and admission offer. There is no downloadable PDF merit list - your merit position is visible only inside the candidate dashboard.
• 26 May 2026 (closed): Last date to register for NPAT 2026 (UG: BBA / B.Com / B.Sc / BA Liberal Arts).
• 26 May 2026 (closed): Last date to register for NMIMS-LAT 2026 Phase 2 (BA LLB Hons. / BBA LLB Hons.).
• 10 February - 1 June 2026 (closed): NPAT 2026 and NMIMS-LAT 2026 test window. NPAT slot-booking/scheduling ran 9 February - 29 May 2026.
• 10 February - 31 May 2026 (closed): NMIMS-CET 2026 test window for B.Tech / MBA(Tech) at MPSTME and for pharmacy programmes.
• Expected from 1 August 2026: NMAT by GMAC 2026 registration is expected to open (based on the GMAC schedule), for MBA admission. The NMAT 2026 test window is expected to run 5 November - 19 December 2026.

Action point: if you are an undergraduate applicant who appeared for NPAT, log in now to check your merit status, because NMIMS may release more than one merit list per course where seats remain vacant. Management aspirants should prepare for the NMAT window opening later in 2026. Always cross-check the exact, course-specific date on the official notification at nmims.edu before acting.

NMIMS University Mumbai Admission 2026: Eligibility Criteria

NMIMS University Mumbai offers a wide programme spread, and each course has its own minimum qualification, qualifying-marks bar and accepted entrance exam. The table below maps every major programme to its eligibility, the minimum aggregate you need, and the test NMIMS Mumbai accepts for it, drawn from our verified programme database. This answers the most common applicant question - "Am I even eligible for this NMIMS course?" - before you spend money on an application. Read it by first locating your target programme in column one, then checking whether your 10+2 stream/graduation and percentage clear the bar in column three, and finally noting which exam you must sit. Note that NMIMS Mumbai's engineering cut for B.Tech requires a minimum of 50% in PCM and applicants must be under 25 years of age.

Key takeaways: the consistent 50% aggregate bar at 10+2 applies to most undergraduate options (BBA, B.Sc, B.Com Hons, the law programmes), while postgraduate research and pharmacy routes (M.Pharm, PhD) raise the bar to 55%. Where our database shows "min 50-60%" for B.Tech, treat 50% in PCM as the operative floor for the Mumbai campus. If your percentage sits exactly on a boundary, apply anyway and confirm with NMIMS admissions, because final-year graduating students are generally permitted to apply provisionally. Your next step is to pick the correct entrance exam from column four and register on the matching official portal.

Course-Wise Admission Status

Because NMIMS Mumbai admits through multiple entrance tests with staggered calendars, different programmes are at different stages of the 2026 cycle. This table shows, programme by programme, whether the application window is open or closed as of June 2026, the seats where our database confirms a figure, the mode of admission, and the accepted exam. It directly answers "Can I still apply to this NMIMS Mumbai course right now?" Read the "Application Status" column against today's date: UG application windows tied to NPAT and LAT have closed for the main cycle, while the NMAT-based MBA cycle opens later in 2026. Seats are listed only where officially confirmed; "not separately listed" means NMIMS has not published a public seat count for that programme.

What to do next: undergraduate applicants who completed the NPAT, NMIMS-CET, LAT or design routes should now monitor merit lists and offer letters in their dashboards rather than expecting a fresh application window. The clearest open opportunity for 2026-27 entry is the MBA route via NMAT, whose registration is expected to open in August 2026 - mark that and begin preparation. For postgraduate research and lateral routes (M.Tech, M.Pharm, MCA, LLM, PhD), check the official notification, since their windows are programme-specific and not part of the common UG calendars.

Application Fees

It is important to separate two different payments at NMIMS Mumbai: the one-time entrance-exam/application fee paid to the conducting body when you register for the test, and the programme tuition fee paid to the institute on admission. This section covers the application/exam fee. For NMIMS's own entrance tests (NPAT, NMIMS-CET, NMIMS-LAT), the registration fee is a uniform amount charged to all candidates - NMIMS does not publish a category-wise differential application fee, so reserved-category rows below read "not separately listed" rather than inventing a number. The table lists the verified General fee and, where multiple programmes are chosen, the incremental charge. Read each row as Programme/Exam, then category, then the fee, then the year it applies to.

Takeaways: budget around Rs 2,000 for a single NMIMS UG entrance application, and remember that NPAT lets you apply to additional programmes for Rs 1,000 each, while NMIMS-CET and NMIMS-LAT charge Rs 2,000 per school. MBA aspirants pay two separate amounts - the Rs 3,000 (plus taxes) NMAT fee to GMAC and a Rs 2,900 NMIMS application fee. All these are non-refundable and non-transferable, so confirm your programme and campus choices before paying. None of these application fees should be confused with the programme tuition fees (for example, Rs 27,00,000 for the MBA or Rs 10,00,000 for BBA) covered separately in our fee tables.

Entrance Exam Requirements

NMIMS Mumbai is unusual in conducting several of its own entrance tests rather than relying on a single national exam, so the right test depends entirely on your target programme. This table matches each accepted exam to the programmes it feeds at NMIMS Mumbai, gives the verified 2026 exam window, and states the realistic score expectation. It answers "Which exam do I need and how hard is the bar for NMIMS Mumbai?" Read it by finding your exam, confirming the programme it admits to, and noting the 2026 date window so you can plan retakes. Because NMIMS Mumbai is the flagship campus, score expectations here are typically higher than at the other NMIMS campuses.

The single most important nuance for NMIMS Mumbai: for MBA, NMIMS considers only your first NMAT attempt, so unlike most B-schools you cannot simply rely on a later retake to lift your candidacy here - prepare to peak on attempt one. For NPAT, the opposite applies: your best of up to three attempts is counted, so booking an early slot and a retake is a sound strategy. NMIMS does not publish official programme-wise closing scores, so treat any number circulating on third-party portals as an estimate, not an official cutoff. Confirm every exam date against the official portal (npat.nmims.edu, ncet.nmims.edu, nlat.nmims.edu, nmat.nmims.edu) before you plan.

Cutoff Analysis (2024-2026)

Applicants naturally want a year-wise table of closing ranks by category, but it is essential to be accurate here: NMIMS does not publish an official, downloadable category-wise cutoff or closing-rank list for its UG entrance tests. As confirmed in the 2026 cycle, there is no downloadable PDF merit list - a candidate's merit position is visible only inside the individual login dashboard at npat.nmims.edu. The table below therefore records the official mechanism by which selection happens each year rather than fabricated numeric cutoffs, which is the honest and useful answer for a 2026 applicant. Read it as a guide to how the bar is set and where to verify your own standing.

Trend takeaway: the consistent pattern across 2024, 2025 and 2026 is that NMIMS Mumbai keeps its admission entirely merit-driven and dashboard-based, deliberately not releasing a public numeric cutoff. Selection for the UG programmes involves no group discussion or personal interview - it is purely the entrance score - and NMIMS may issue more than one merit list per course if seats remain unfilled after the first round. Practically, this means you should not chase rumoured cutoff numbers; instead, secure the highest possible score (the Mumbai campus is the most competitive in the NMIMS system) and check your own qualifying status and offer directly in the login. If you miss the first list, keep monitoring, because a second list is common where seats stay vacant.

Counselling Process

NMIMS Mumbai's admission flow is score-and-dashboard driven rather than a centralised choice-filling counselling like JoSAA. For the undergraduate NPAT route specifically, here is the step-by-step process for 2026:

1. Register and apply (closed for 2026 main cycle): Create an account at npat.nmims.edu, fill the common registration form, select your programmes (up to five) and campus preferences, and pay the Rs 2,000 fee (+Rs 1,000 per additional programme). Registration closed 26 May 2026.
2. Book your slot and download admit card: Schedule your exam in the slot-booking window (9 February - 29 May 2026); the admit card is released immediately after you book your slot.
3. Appear for the entrance test: Sit NPAT in the 10 February - 1 June 2026 window. You may take one main attempt plus up to two retakes; the best score counts.
4. Result and merit list (22-23 June 2026): NMIMS declared the NPAT result and course-wise merit list on 22-23 June 2026. Log in to view your merit rank, qualifying status and admission offer. There is no GD or PI for UG admission.
5. Accept the offer and verify documents: If you receive an admission offer, accept it within the stated deadline and complete document verification (10+2 marksheets, ID proof, category certificate where applicable, photographs).
6. Pay the programme fee to confirm: Pay the tuition/programme fee within the window specified in your offer to lock your seat. If seats remain vacant, NMIMS may release subsequent merit lists, so keep monitoring the dashboard.

For MBA via NMAT, the flow differs: register with GMAC, take NMAT in the expected 5 November - 19 December 2026 window, submit the NMIMS application (Rs 2,900), and await the NMIMS selection and offer based on the first-attempt score. Always verify each step's deadline on the official NMIMS portal.

Important Dates (2026)

This master calendar consolidates every canonical milestone of the NMIMS Mumbai 2026 admission cycle into one table so you can see, at a glance, what has happened and what is still pending. It is built primarily around the NPAT undergraduate cycle (the route with the most confirmed dates and the freshest update), with the status of each event marked. It answers "What are all the key NMIMS 2026 dates and which deadlines have passed?" Read the Status column to triage: "Closed" events are done for the main cycle, "Declared" marks the result, and "To be announced" flags dates NMIMS has not published. Treat any event you must still act on as a hard reminder to log in and confirm.

Key deadlines and next steps: for the UG cycle, the actionable phase right now (June 2026) is checking your declared result and any admission offer in the npat.nmims.edu dashboard, then completing document verification and fee payment per your offer letter. The next major window for any new applicant is the MBA route - NMAT registration is expected from August 2026 with the test in November-December 2026. Where the table reads "to be announced" (for example, a formal answer key or correction window), NMIMS has not published an official date, so do not rely on third-party guesses; confirm on the official portal.
