Is it difficult to get into NMIMS Mumbai, as a fresher (engineering graduate) with average acads (86/68/67) and a good NMAT score (210+)? Will my low scores affect during PI?

NMAT has no age limit and is open to freshers as well. The only eligibility criteria is an Education pattern of 10+2+3/4 years. The new exam pattern and scoring criteria have made it all the easier. NMAT will now be 108 questions and 120 minutes, unlike its earlier pattern of 120 questions and 120 minutes.

The sections will have the same weightage of 36 questions each in terms of the number of questions. But the time allotted to each section has changed. 

• VA- 36 questions ; 28 minutes.
• LR- 36 questions ; 40 minutes.
• Quant & DI - 36 questions ; 52 minutes.

NMAT has sectional cut-offs, so no section is more or less important. The factors taken into account for final shortlisting and their respective weights are given below

Your NMAT score will have no impact on your Personal Interview. The panelists usually question you on the basis of your CV and the question sheet you filled out while submitting documents. They might also question your GK and knowledge of current affairs. So be prepared for this round as it is a crucial part of the admissions process.
