While colleges that accept NMAT scores are not the same as colleges that accept XAT and CAT scores, it does give you the opportunity to get admission to some of the best business schools if you do not perform well in CAT, XAT, MAT, and other such exams.

One advantage of NMAT is that there are no negative marks in this exam. Therefore, the chances of getting a score are better than other MBA entrance exams. It is always best to take at least 3 to 4 entrance exams to get admission in MBA or PGDM courses.

Hello aspirant,

It is anticipated that the Shiv Nadar NMAT cutoff score for the MBA program will be higher than 200.  Applicants at Shiv Nadar University who have an NMAT score of 200 or higher (after normalization) should anticipate receiving an invitation to the Personal Interview phase.

So with 182 marks in NMAT, it is very difficult to get a call from Shiv Nadar University.

Thank you
