NMIMS Mumbai Cutoff 2025 - NMAT, NPAT & Program-Wise Admission

NMIMS (Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies) University uses NMAT by GMAC for MBA admissions and NPAT (NMIMS Programs After Twelfth) for undergraduate programs. NMIMS School of Business Management (SBM) Mumbai is the flagship - ranked among India's top 15 B-schools with MBA cutoffs comparable to IIM Indore and XLRI. The Mumbai campus commands significantly higher cutoffs than Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Navi Mumbai campuses.

Program / Campus	NMAT Score (out of 360)	NMAT Percentile	Seats
MBA - SBM Mumbai (flagship)	220-235	95-98 percentile	420

NMAT is unique - candidates can attempt it up to 3 times (October-December), with the best score considered. This reduces exam-day pressure. SBM Mumbai's NMAT cutoff (220-235) is the second-highest in India after ISB (which uses GMAT). After NMAT, SBM conducts Case Discussion + Personal Interview for final selection.
