Important: NMAT by GMAC Registration and B-School Applications Are Separate.
Registering for the NMAT by GMAC exam is one part of the admission process. You must also apply separately to the MBA programs or B-schools of your choice. Admission requirements, eligibility criteria, deadlines, and NMAT score acceptance policies may vary by institution and can change over time. We recommend checking your target schools’ official websites regularly to stay updated.

Exam Structure:
The NMAT by GMAC™ exam is comprised of three sections – Language Skills, Quantitative Skills, and Logical Reasoning.

• The exam sections are individually timed and candidates must answer the questions in each section within the allotted time.
• Questions are delivered one at a time and are randomly selected from a pool of questions.
• The number of questions, difficulty levels, and time limit for each of the sections is predetermined and, under normal administration conditions, are the same regardless of when and where the test is administered.
• Candidates can choose the order/sequence of the test sections at the beginning of the exam.

Section Topics:

• Language Skills: Reading Comprehension, Para Forming, Error Identification, Prepositions, Sentence Completion, Analogies
• Logical Reasoning: Critical Reasoning, Analytical Puzzles, Deductions, and Other Reasoning
• Quantitative Skills: Number Properties, Arithmetic, Algebra and Probability, Data Integration Caselets and Tables, Data Integration Graphs and Charts, Data Sufficiency

Exam Score:
Your scorecard will be available for download within 48 hours of taking the NMAT by GMAC exam and you will be notified by email when it is ready. It will include your scaled section scores and total score. Any exam with test security incident(s) is subject to audit and the result will be published in 10 working days.
Scaled scores: Questions in the NMAT by GMAC™ exam are selected from the question pool for each examinee based on his or her performance on the questions previously answered. The questions a candidate receives are targeted at his or her ability level; therefore, a high-scoring candidate generally receives a more difficult sample of questions than a low-scoring candidate. The NMAT by GMAC™ exam is scored by first obtaining the candidate’s final ability estimate based on the probabilistic model approach of modern exam theory, and then transformed to a scaled score ranging from 12 to 120.
