NMAT Exam Centres 2026 FAQs
Does choosing a city in the form confirm my exam centre?+
No. Complete registration and payment, then book an available centre, date and time in the Candidate Dashboard. The confirmed appointment and current admit card identify the venue.
Why can I not see every city listed here?+
The scheduler displays choices based on the address in your application and available appointments. Approved scribe or wheelchair arrangements can also limit the choices to equipped centres.
Can I change my application address to unlock other centres?+
GMAC does not accept address-change requests after application submission. For a genuine scheduling problem, contact the delivery-support desk rather than entering inaccurate address details.
Can I use an old NMAT centre address?+
Use the venue printed on the current attempt's admit card. A new booking can use a different building even within the same city.
Does rescheduling remain open until my test starts?+
No. It requires more than 72 hours before the booked appointment and must fall within the window ending 17 December 2026. A new slot must also be available.
Will the centre arrange a scribe automatically?+
No. Bring your own scribe after receiving written approval for that specific person. The request is made during registration, with supporting disability documents, the Declaration by Scribe and Test Taker, Reader/Scribe Consent form and Reader/Scribe Non-disclosure Agreement.
The approved scribe must carry government-issued photo ID. A different person cannot take their place without approval.
Requests are normally reviewed in about 15 calendar days, sometimes longer during busy periods, so this cannot be left until check-in.
