On Question asked by student community
Hello
You have scored 234 (QA: 78, VA: 84, LR: 72), you have a higher chance of getting a call from the NMIMS Mumbai MBA Core call, as it is the nearest score to the 235 cutoff. You have a good score in the verbal subject and have a decent score in QA/LR, which makes a call quite possible. It also depends on the final year's cutoffs and the specific section requirements. Around 230-250 marks are considered a good score. I hope this information helps you.
Thank you.
Hello,
With a 191 NMAT score for 2025, getting a call from NMIMS (Mumbai/Core) is unlikely, as their cutoffs are typically 209+, but you have a fair chance for NMIMS Hyderabad/Indore or potentially XIMB's HRM program if your sectional scores are good.
I hope it will clear your query!!
Hello,
With a score of 217 in NMAT, your chances for TAPMI are moderate but not guaranteed. TAPMI generally prefers candidates scoring around 220–230+, but the cutoff varies each year depending on the applicant pool and overall exam difficulty. Since you are very close to the usual cutoff range, you may still receive a call if the year’s cutoffs fluctuate. Along with your NMAT score, TAPMI also considers your academic profile and interview performance, so make sure to prepare well for the next stages.
Hope this helps you.
Hello, Good Afternoon,
NMAT score 205 is 60%-70% percentile. It is very good for colleges and universities. Higher than this percentile definitely helps you to apply for top colleges and universities.
Thank you.
Hello,
With a score of one hundred and ninety-eight in NMAT and three years of work experience, you have a good chance of getting admission to NMIMS Indore or Hyderabad. Admission depends on factors like your overall profile, work experience, academic record, and performance in the selection process. While the final decision is based on the institute’s criteria, your score and experience make you a competitive candidate for these campuses.
Hope this helps you.
