Candidates planning to appear for the NMAT by GMAC 2026 examination and seeking admission to the NMIMS MBA 2027 batch must complete their applications today. According to the updated schedule, October 31, 2026, is the last date for NMAT registration and initial examination scheduling. Candidates must complete the NMAT application form, pay the registration fee of ₹3,000 plus applicable taxes and book an available examination slot before the deadline. Separately, candidates applying for MBA programmes at SVKM's NMIMS must also submit the university's admission application and pay the prescribed application fee before midnight on October 31, 2026.
