SVKM's NMIMS School of Design, Mumbai All Questions

Hey aspirant

I'd say not very, but it all depends on one's personal calibre, ability to work hard to get into college, and long-term goals. NMIMS uses a three-step selection process to select the best candidates from a pool of applicants: a written exam, followed by a CDPI.

The NMAT or a written exam

GMAC administers the NMAT, a national-level Management Aptitude entrance exam. Based on their scores, applicants may be contacted for further consideration at one of the five campuses. As such, NMAT is a very basic level exam that requires little preparation and only proper strategy to score well. Because the cut off for Mumbai is so high, it is actually difficult to get into NMIMS Mumbai

1. This is the 2nd round and requires a different kind of prep. It generally takes more than a few months of prep and takes a lot of time to form opinions about things.
2. The topic is given before a 5 to 10 minutes before the CD. You can bring some level of preparedness with extensive readings and listening to news channel debate
3. The topics gievn here are quite generic and not at all very complicatedPersonal Interview
   1. This round may be one of the most anxious one with only a few seconds to respond and various examiners, in this case, panelists who evaluate each of your word, expression and body language.
   2. This round may be challengingif you go in without any prep since the panelists are highly experienced.

Granted, the NMAT exam is easy to crack but definitely needs some work after you get a call for CDPI. So to sum up, NMIMS is not a far fetched dream but it is not very easy either.

All the best.

Dear Ishaan ,

Hi,

According to previous year cutoffs, you have high chances for getting calls from NMIMS Bombay or Bangalore for almost all branches. Currently there are following branches in :

NMIMS Mumbai:

• Pharmaceutical Management
• MBA
• MBA Banking
• MBA Capital Marketing

NMIMS Bangalore

• MBA

Your score satisfies the cutoff score of all the branches in every NMIMS. Hence you have highest chances for getting a call.

Hope it helps.

In every college or institute, there are certain reserved seats for management/trust. Management quota seats are also called Institutional quota seats, where some donation is charged separately, apart from your college fees. Through management quota, you can directly get into India’s one of the top management colleges without any hindrances.

Dear candidate most often whenever you get a seat in NMIMS Institute they will send you a mail into the mail id which you provided in the application form. After receiving the mail, in the mail you will get the details to do the further procedures to enable successful admission. Not only that if you can try to remain in contact with your departmental Head.

Good luck!!

Hi,

NMAT is one of the most competitive exams for getting admission into top B-schools and to answer your question, no it is not necessary to register to NMIMS for each attempt of NMAT. You just need to register only once and the best score will be taken into consideration out of all your attempts.

I hope this helps,

All the best.

Hello,

With the score of 137 in NMAT, you will not get admission into NMIMS. To get admission in NMIMS generally the score should be 220+. Also if you want NMIMS Mumbai then you should Target even higher.

My suggestion for you will be that prepare again and give mocks to know your weaker points. After that analyse your mistakes and work on them and reattempt the paper with more practice and confidence.

Best of luck.

Hope it helps.
