NMAT Scheduling 2026
What is NMAT 2026 Scheduling?
NMAT scheduling allows registered candidates to book their preferred exam slot within the testing window. Unlike most Indian entrance exams with a fixed date, NMAT gives you a 45-day exam window (approximately November–December) in which you can choose any available date and time. This flexibility is a key advantage of NMAT by GMAC. Additionally, retake scheduling allows candidates who want to improve their score to book a second or third attempt within the same cycle.
