- Students from overseas schools, open schools or distance courses need an AIU equivalence certificate.
- IB and Cambridge students without final marks can get provisional admission on predicted scores.

- After your main test you cannot add a new school for a retake in the same category.
Topic-wise preparation help is on the NMIMS NPAT 2027 syllabus page.
How does NMIMS select students after NPAT 2027?
NMIMS prepares school-wise merit lists using your NPAT score and your Class 12 results. The cut-off for each merit list is decided by NMIMS alone. You must update your Class 12 marks and mark sheet on the portal as soon as your board result is out, or you will not be considered.
In 2026 NMIMS merged its Phase 1 and Phase 2 rounds into one admission round in June 2026. NMIMS states that it has no management quota and no agents for direct admission. Merit list steps are on the NMIMS NPAT 2027 result page.
