The Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) will close registration for the NMAT by GMAC 2026 examination today, October 10. Candidates planning to take the management entrance test must complete their application and fee payment before the registration window closes.
The application process is online. Candidates can visit the official website, mba.com/exams/nmat, to register. After completing registration and payment, they can book an exam date, time and test centre, depending on availability.
The NMAT is an entrance examination used by several business schools for admission to management programmes. Candidates should also check the admission requirements of their preferred institutes, as registering for the entrance exam does not automatically complete a college’s separate admission process.
