NMAT 2026 key dates and details

Registration deadline vs scheduling deadline

Registration and slot booking are separate steps. Registration ends on October 10. Scheduling stays open until October 22, but it is available only to registered candidates. Candidates who finish both steps can take the exam on their booked date within the November 2 to December 20 window.

Mistakes to avoid in the NMAT application form

• Wrong personal or academic details: Entries that don't match official records can cause problems during admission.
• Incorrect email or mobile number: This can block login access and official notifications.
• Upload errors: Photos, signatures or documents in the wrong format or size may be rejected.
• Wrong preferences: Check your slot timing and school selections carefully.
• Paying at the last minute: Late payment raises the risk of failed transactions or gateway problems.
• Not saving a copy: Download the completed form and fee receipt for future reference.

Before you submit

• Verify every detail against your certificates and ID.
• Complete payment well before the deadline to avoid server or gateway issues.
• Save the confirmation and receipt.
• Book your slot soon after registering, as slots depend on availability.

What happens next

After registration, candidates book their exam slot, take the test within the exam window, and download the admit card about a week before their exam date.

Candidates should apply only through the official NMAT website and check it for any changes to the deadline.
