- The exam body publishes the dates in its official notice or brochure on mba.com. That notice is the final word.
- Register on the official site before the last date. Late registration is not always allowed.
- Your exact slot, time and centre are given on your admit card, not on the date notice.
- Dates shown as tentative on this page are expected dates. They change to confirmed once the official notice is out.
NMAT is held in a testing window of several weeks, not on one fixed day: after registering, the candidate books a date and slot inside the window, and the official rules allow more than one attempt.
Count the weeks you have left and plan them backwards: syllabus first, then sectional tests, then full-length mocks, and revision in the last two weeks.
Keep your registration details safe. You will need them to download the admit card later.
