Sectional guidance
NMAT schools may use sectional scaled-score requirements. A balanced score is safer; check current section-wise cutoffs for the chosen program.
Cutoff basis
OYM competitive target benchmarked to recent coaching/admission trends; not a published minimum
Basic eligibility
Recognised bachelor’s degree; most programs require about 50% aggregate (relaxations may apply by category/institute). Final-year candidates are commonly eligible subject to institute rules.
These are indicative competitive targets based on recent admission trends, not guaranteed interview-call cutoffs. Your category, academics, work experience and profile can materially affect shortlisting.
How Selection Works
Process
Entrance score → application/profile shortlist → WAT/GD/PI or institute-specific assessment → final composite based on test, profile and interview.
Academics, work experience and diversity
Academic consistency, relevant work experience, extracurricular/leadership evidence and interview quality can improve conversion chances even when the entrance score is only around the target band.
