The admissions for the MBA program at SVKM's NMIMS (Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies) are conducted in two stages: the initial one consists of NMAT by GMAC test, and the second will consist of rounds like WAT, WATSON, and PI. While the NMAT exam can test aptitude in areas of quantitative, language and logical tests, the second step of the selection process attempts to examine other competencies essential for the management positions. The schedule for conducting the NMAT admission process at NMIMS is expected to begin on 20 January 2025.
Well, in the previous year, registration for WAT and PI took place shortly after January 20, with the second stage usually starting in early February. This year, the call letters of the candidates who have qualified for the NMAT cut-off scores for NMIMS will be sent to the candidate's NMIMS login ID, meaning eligibility to proceed to the next level of the admission process.
