The fee is ₹3,000 plus applicable taxes. Third-party sources put the total near ₹3,540 with 18% GST, and say the fee covers score reporting to up to five programmes. [VERIFY on GMAC]
Registration, Slot Booking and School Forms Are Separate
Candidates must complete three things:
- NMAT registration: create the account, fill the form and pay by October 10.
- Slot booking: choose an exam date and centre by October 22.
- School applications: fill each b-school’s own form, including NMIMS, whose NMAT-based registration also closes October 10.
Paying the fee doesn’t confirm an exam slot. Candidates should book one right after registering.
What Happens If You Miss the Deadline?
Candidates who miss the last date can’t appear for NMAT 2026 and can’t complete NMIMS registration through NMAT. GMAC extended last year’s deadline by eight days, but no extension has been announced for 2026. Check the official portal for any update. [VERIFY]
What Happens Next
- October 22: last day to book an exam slot.
- From October 26: admit cards start being issued, until December 17.
- November 2 to December 20: the NMAT exam window.
Last-Day Checklist
- Register and pay before the portal closes.
- Make sure your name matches your photo ID.
- Book your exam date and centre immediately.
- Start the NMIMS form and any other b-school forms separately.
- For help, contact GMAC support (third-party sources list nmatsupport@gmac.com [VERIFY]).
