NMIMS Bangalore admits students to its management, commerce, law and science programmes through three entrance-test routes. Its flagship MBA requires NMAT by GMAC, followed by a Competency Test and Personal Interview. The MBA fee is INR 11,00,000 per year, taking the total for 2 years to INR 22,00,000.

For undergraduate business and science courses, admission takes place through NPAT. BBA costs INR 3,25,000 per year. Integrated law admissions use NMIMS LAT. Undergraduate and law applications are handled centrally across NMIMS campuses, and Bangalore seats depend on the applicant's merit rank and campus preference.

How NPAT Applicants Are Selected

NPAT merit rank alone decides selection for these undergraduate courses. Applicants do not attend an interview or group discussion, also called GD.

  • Seats across NMIMS campuses are allotted according to NPAT rank.
  • During counselling, applicants state their campus preferences, including Bangalore.
  • The Bangalore campus does not hold an additional entrance test or interview.

Steps for Admission Through NPAT

  • Complete NPAT registration and submit the application through nmims.edu.
  • Choose an available examination date within the testing window.
  • Once results are released, eligible rank-holders take part in counselling and indicate Bangalore as their preferred campus.
  • Complete document verification and pay the required fees to secure the allotted seat.

Integrated Law Admission: BA LLB and BBA LLB

The Bangalore campus has 2 integrated honours degrees in law: BA LLB (Hons.) and BBA LLB (Hons.). Each takes 5 years. Applicants enter through NMIMS LAT, the university's law entrance examination. Admissions for the 2026 cycle have ended, and the next cycle is expected to begin in January 2027.

Law students appreciate earning an integrated dual degree. Those interested in both business and legal skills favour BBA LLB. Feedback also remains positive about faculty support and campus life.

Law Merit List and Seat Confirmation

NMIMS LAT results determine the merit order for both law programmes. Applicants state their preferred campus during counselling, with higher-ranked students receiving priority in campus choice.

  • NMIMS LAT marks decide the applicant's merit position and priority for campus selection.
  • Law applicants do not take an interview or group discussion.
  • To retain an allotted seat, students must provide original documents and pay the fees by the specified deadline.

Steps for Applying to Integrated Law Courses

  • Begin NMIMS LAT registration at law-ug.nmims.edu.
  • Fill in the application details and pay the registration charge.
  • Take NMIMS LAT on the examination date assigned to you.
  • When counselling begins after the results, choose Bangalore as your preferred campus.
  • Finish document submission and fee payment to secure admission.

NMIMS Bangalore PG Admission: MBA 2026

MBA applicants first need to clear NMAT by GMAC, a nationally conducted entrance examination. NMIMS then calls shortlisted students for its Competency Test and Personal Interview. In the 2025-26 admission cycle, the overall NMAT cutoff was 209 across all NMIMS campuses, including Bangalore.

The NMAT result and NMIMS shortlist announcement dates are yet to be announced. The Competency Test and Personal Interview are tentatively expected in January to February 2027.

Components of the MBA Selection Score

The selection formula changed for the 2025-26 cycle. With a 60% share, the Competency Test became the largest component. Academic marks were removed from that formula.

  • The Competency Test contributes 60%. It has 3 sections: Verbal Ability, Mental Ability and Managerial Ability.
  • Work experience contributes 15%. Relevant professional experience is preferred, although applicants can apply without it.
  • The Personal Interview follows the Competency Test and contributes 15%.
  • The NMAT score contributes 10% and also acts as the qualifying threshold. Shortlisting requires at least 209 overall.

MBA students describe the Competency Test as a major factor in selection. A high NMAT score by itself does not secure admission, and they stress preparation for Managerial Ability.

Steps for Seeking an MBA Seat

  • Register through the official NMAT portal and book an examination slot within November 2 to December 20, 2026.
  • Submit a separate NMIMS MBA application through nmims.edu. Complete the application by October 25, 2026, before your scheduled NMAT examination.
  • Applicants who meet the shortlisting threshold of 209 overall and 60 marks per section are called for the NMIMS Competency Test.
  • Attend the Competency Test and Personal Interview at the allotted centre.
  • The final offer depends on the combined selection score: NMAT 10%, Competency Test 60%, work experience 15% and Personal Interview 15%.

NMIMS Bangalore Scholarships

Students entering MBA and undergraduate courses can receive merit scholarships at admission. Awards depend on their performance in NMAT or NPAT.

  • High marks in NMAT and NPAT can qualify applicants for merit-based scholarship support.
  • SC/ST/OBC-NCL students may seek Central Government scholarships through the National Scholarship Portal at scholarships.gov.in.
  • Check nmims.edu for the exact award amounts and eligibility conditions for 2026-27.
