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
