The NMAT selection process varies across participating institutes. Generally, candidates are shortlisted based on their NMAT score and called for the next stages such as Group Discussion (GD), Written Ability Test (WAT), Case Discussion (CD), and Personal Interview (PI). Some universities, like NMIMS, accept only the first attempt score. Final selection is based on the overall performance in NMAT, academic profile, work experience, and performance in GD/WAT/PI rounds.
