The Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), the conducting body for the NMAT by GMAC 2025 exam, has announced a crucial extension to the registration deadline. This news is a significant relief for thousands of management stream aspirants who may have missed the original closing date. The last date to register for the NMAT 2025 exam has now been officially extended from October 10, 2025, to October 18, 2025.

This eight-day extension provides a valuable second chance for candidates to complete their application process for this highly sought-after MBA entrance test. The NMAT is accepted by several top-tier B-Schools in India and abroad, including NMIMS, KJ Somaiya, XIM University, and more, making it a critical step for securing a seat in a premier management program.

Revised Key Dates and What Aspirants Must Know

Along with the registration deadline, other important dates in the examination schedule have also been revised, offering candidates more flexibility.

• Extended Registration End Date: Aspirants can now register for NMAT 2025 until October 18, 2025.
• Exam Scheduling Window: The deadline to schedule your exam, which involves choosing your preferred test date, time, and location (test centre or online proctored), has also been extended till October 25, 2025.
• Exam Delivery Window: The NMAT 2025 exam will be conducted over a 44-day window, running from November 5 to December 19, 2025.
• Retake Registration: For candidates planning to leverage the option to retake the exam (up to three attempts are allowed), the retake registration window will be open from November 6 to December 16, 2025.

An Important Opportunity for Late Applicants

For those aspirants who were unable to finalize their applications by the earlier deadline due to documentation issues, payment hurdles, or last-minute decision-making, this extension is a golden opportunity. It’s a chance to apply without incurring late fees, as the standard registration fee remains ₹3,000 plus applicable taxes.

Candidates must note that after successful registration, they must also complete the separate application process for the specific B-schools they are targeting, such as NMIMS, whose admissions are primarily routed through NMAT scores. It's advisable to check the deadlines for individual colleges immediately after registering for the NMAT.

Action Plan for NMAT Aspirants

Aspirants are strongly encouraged to utilize this extended window to complete their registration at the earliest on the official website, mba.com/exams/nmat. Do not wait until October 18, 2025, to avoid any last-minute technical difficulties.

• Register First: Complete the online registration form and pay the exam fee.
• Schedule Next: Immediately book your desired exam slot (date and test centre/mode) before the October 25 deadline. Securing an early slot within the November 5 - December 19 window is always better.

This move by GMAC reflects an effort to ensure every deserving student gets a fair chance to compete for admission to their dream management program. For regular updates follow Only Education News.
