NMIMS Bangalore Important Admission Dates

For the 2027-29 MBA intake, applicants must complete both NMAT registration and the NMIMS application. The upcoming schedule includes the extended application deadline, the examination window, and tentative dates for later selection and UG admissions.

The extended deadlines appear on the official NMIMS MBA admission portal and the official NMAT website. Admit cards follow the NMAT scheduling policy. The January and February dates remain tentative; NMIMS will announce the exact second-stage selection schedule separately.

NMIMS Bangalore Courses and Fees

Students have 12 programme options in management, commerce, finance, economics, and law. Total course fees start at INR 5,25,000 for the three-year B.Com and reach INR 22,00,000 for the two-year MBA.

Choosing a different MBA specialisation does not change the fee: all six follow the same structure. Male and female students can take hostel accommodation on or near campus for INR 3,00,000 to 3,10,000 per year. An MBA student’s annual course and hostel cost is therefore INR 14,00,000 to 14,10,000, with a two-year total of up to INR 28,20,000.

NMIMS Bangalore Admission Process

Entry to every programme depends on an entrance examination. Bangalore campus admissions do not include a direct-entry or management-quota option. MBA applicants face further assessments after the entrance test, while UG and Law selection uses the relevant entrance-test merit rank.

MBA: Eligibility and Selection Steps

A bachelor’s degree in any subject is required, with at least 50% aggregate marks, or 45% for reserved categories. Applicants can apply without work experience, although experience can improve their final selection score.

1. Register for NMAT by GMAC and complete the separate NMIMS application using the NMAT registration number. The official MBA admission handout explains these two registration steps.
2. Take NMAT and meet the Bangalore shortlisting requirements: 209 overall and at least 60 marks in each of the three sections.
3. If shortlisted, attend the campus Competency Test and Personal Interview.
4. Final selection combines the Competency Test, work experience, interview, and NMAT score using the weights below.

• The Competency Test contributes 60% and assesses Verbal Ability, Mental Ability, and Managerial Ability.
• Work experience contributes 15%. It is optional, but applicants with relevant experience have an advantage.
• The Personal Interview contributes 15%.
• The NMAT score contributes 10% and also serves as the qualifying threshold.

UG: BBA, B.Com, B.Sc (Economics), and B.Sc (Finance)

Applicants need at least 50% aggregate marks in 10+2 from a recognised board. For BBA and B.Sc (Finance), Mathematics or Statistics at the 10+2 level is compulsory. B.Com and B.Sc (Economics) do not require these subjects.

1. Apply for NPAT, the NMIMS Programs After Twelfth entrance examination.
2. Appear for the test and obtain an NPAT merit rank.
3. Selection follows that rank alone; there is no interview.

Law: BA LLB (Hons.) and BBA LLB (Hons.)

Both integrated law courses last five years. Students from any stream can apply after completing 10+2 from a recognised board with at least 50% marks.

1. Register for NMIMS LAT, the Law Admission Test.
2. Take the examination.
3. Admission depends only on the NMIMS LAT merit rank.

NMIMS Bangalore MBA Cutoffs

MBA applicants must clear both the overall and sectional NMAT thresholds to reach the Competency Test and Personal Interview. Meeting the cutoff leads to shortlisting for these stages.

A similar threshold was expected for the 2026-27 cycle after these cutoffs were used in 2025-26.

NMIMS Bangalore Placements

The campus Placement Office coordinates MBA recruitment. For 2025, the batch recorded 100% placements, with 121 companies making more than 150 final offers. The highest annual package reached INR 72 lakh; the average was INR 14.1 lakh, and median CTC, or cost to company, was INR 13 lakh.

Offers for the top 10% of students were worth INR 23.71 lakh per annum and above. Recruiter participation rose from 56 companies in 2024 to 121 in 2025. The table compares the two seasons; LPA means lakh per annum.

Finance, analytics, and consulting account for many of the highest-paying roles. Recruitment also spans technology, banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG). BFSI businesses, IT service firms offering management roles, and consumer goods companies recruit from the campus each year.

NMIMS Bangalore Rankings

Bangalore forms part of NMIMS University, so the NIRF position applies at university level. NIRF does not publish a separate rank for each NMIMS campus.

NMIMS University also holds the NAAC A+ accreditation awarded in 2021. This accreditation is at the university level.

NMIMS Bangalore Campus and Infrastructure

Built for management and professional study in southern Bangalore, the campus occupies 8.5 acres on Bannerghatta Road. Its buildings cover 25,000 sq. m. The location is 7 km from IIM-Bangalore and 9 km from Electronic City.

NMIMS Bangalore Scholarships

Strong entrance-test results can make students eligible for merit scholarships at admission. NMAT-based support applies to MBA applicants, while NPAT-based support is available for UG applicants. Students can check NMIMS University’s official website for scholarship amounts and eligibility information for the 2026-27 cycle.

NMIMS Bangalore, Alliance University and Christ University Compared

For an MBA in Bangalore, students often consider NMIMS alongside Alliance University and Christ University. All three have national name recognition and active placement programmes. Their entrance-test options, fees, locations, and disclosed placement figures differ.

Among these institutions, NMIMS Bangalore has disclosed a 2025 average package of INR 14.1 LPA and a 100% placement rate. Alliance accepts a wider set of entrance tests, including GMAT, giving applicants with international test scores another option. Students taking CAT can also consider Christ University, which accepts both CAT and XAT.
