How accurate is this NMAT college predictor?

Each college shows where its figure comes from. Official means the college published it. Estimate means a named prep site compiled it. Past means the closing figure of earlier years. Cutoffs move every year with the paper and the applicant pool, so read the groups as a guide to where to apply, not as a promise of a call.

Does the predictor save what I enter?

No. It runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to us or stored, and there is no login or phone number.

How the predictor works

NMIMS publishes its shortlist cutoff. For the 2026 MBA it was 209 overall and 60 in each section. After the shortlist, the NMAT score counts for only 10 percent; the NMIMS competency test counts for 60.

Some colleges set a percentile instead of a score. The predictor turns those into a score with GMAC's official percentile table and shows the percentile next to the cutoff.

You can take NMAT up to three times in a season, and colleges see your best score. Enter that one.
