The NMIMS NPAT (National Test for Programs After Twelfth) 2026 result is released course-wise on the official candidate portal at npat.nmims.edu. The final course-wise merit list was released on June 22, 2026, covering BBA, B.Sc Finance, B.Sc Economics, B.Com, and other programmes across all NMIMS campuses. NPAT is the entrance exam conducted by SVKM's Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS) for admission to undergraduate programmes including BBA, B.Sc Finance, B.Sc Economics, B.Com (Hons.), and other courses across its campuses in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chandigarh, Indore, Dhule, and Navi Mumbai. This guide covers the result dates, how to check the scorecard, what the merit dashboard shows, expected admission cutoffs, and every action needed after the result.
NPAT Results 2026
NPAT 2026 results are not released as a single announcement. NMIMS releases results phase-wise after each exam window concludes, and the consolidated merit list combining all phases is published separately. A key distinction from other entrance exams: NPAT does not publish individual downloadable scorecard PDFs for all candidates. Instead, candidates access their marks, percentile, and merit list status through the login dashboard at npat.nmims.edu. NMIMS considers the best score out of a maximum of three attempts across all phases for merit list preparation. There is no negative marking; each correct answer carries one mark and the total is 120 marks across 120 questions.

No GD or PI round: NMIMS does not conduct a Group Discussion or Personal Interview for NPAT-based admissions. Shortlisting and final seat allotment are entirely merit-based, determined by the normalised NPAT score, campus preference submitted at registration, and seat availability. Normalisation ensures that scores are equated across different exam sessions so that difficulty variation across sessions does not disadvantage any candidate.

Section-wise marks | English Language, Quantitative Ability, and Reasoning and General Intelligence, each out of 40 |

NPAT Merit List 2026 and Admission Chances
The NPAT 2026 merit list is prepared based on the best normalised score a candidate achieved across all their NPAT attempts in the 2026 cycle, up to a maximum of three attempts. Merit lists are released separately for different courses and campuses; BBA, B.Sc Finance, B.Sc Economics, and B.Com have distinct merit lists and cutoffs. NMIMS does not officially release cutoff scores, but based on consistent patterns from previous years and candidate feedback, the table below provides expected score-to-admission-prospects mapping.
NPAT Normalised Score (out of 120) | Likely Admission Prospects |
|---|---|
72 and above | Top tier; strong chance for NMIMS Mumbai (ASMSOC) BBA and B.Sc Finance; first-round merit list shortlisting very likely |
68 to 71 | Safe zone for NMIMS Mumbai BBA shortlisting based on historical normalised cutoff trends; Hyderabad and Bangalore easily accessible |
60 to 67 | NMIMS Bengaluru, Navi Mumbai, and Hyderabad campuses highly accessible for BBA and B.Com; Mumbai campus unlikely |
Below 60 | Admission chances across NMIMS campuses limited; monitor for second or third merit lists if seats remain vacant; explore alternative institutions |
NMIMS may release more than one merit list per course if seats remain vacant after the first round of admissions. Candidates who do not appear on the first merit list should continue monitoring the dashboard and should not assume they are permanently disqualified; a second merit list is published for courses where the initial round does not fill all seats.
Campus-wise seat strength: The NMIMS Mumbai campus (Vile Parle) offers the largest BBA intake with 720 seats for BBA alone. Hyderabad and Bangalore campuses have smaller intakes, which typically results in slightly lower score requirements but more competition relative to available seats. Candidates with scores in the 70 to 80 range should apply for non-Mumbai campuses as their primary preference to maximise admission chances.
What to Do After the NPAT 2026 Results Are Declared
Once the merit list is published, the admission process moves quickly. NMIMS typically sends counselling notifications through the registered email ID and the dashboard simultaneously, but the timeline between merit list and counselling registration is short, often 3 to 5 days. The table below outlines every action required after the result and the consequence of inaction.
Action | What to Do |
|---|---|
Download and verify the scorecard | Log in to npat.nmims.edu immediately; verify name, application number, section-wise marks, and normalised total score; report discrepancies to the NPAT helpdesk at once |
Check merit list status | Navigate to the Result or Merit List section on the dashboard; check qualifying status for each course and campus you applied for; merit lists are released course-wise and may not all appear on the same day |
Compare score against cutoffs | Use previous year cutoff trends as a reference; NMIMS does not officially publish cutoffs, but 68 to 71 marks is generally required for Mumbai campus BBA based on historical normalised trends |
Prepare documents for counselling | Class 10 and 12 mark sheets and passing certificates, valid photo ID, passport-size photographs, NPAT admit card, category certificate if applicable, and the result or scorecard print or screenshot |
Complete online counselling registration | Monitor npat.nmims.edu and your registered email for counselling schedule notifications; register within the announced window; seat allocation is based on score, campus preference, and seat availability |
Confirm admission and pay fee | After seat allotment, upload required documents through the portal and pay the admission fee within the deadline; delay risks losing the allotted seat to the next candidate on the merit list |
If you did not make the merit list: NMIMS permits a maximum of 3 NPAT attempts per candidate, all of which must occur within the main testing window, which concluded on May 31, 2026. No further retake or additional phase exam is conducted once the final merit lists are published. Candidates who do not make the first merit list should monitor the portal for second or third vacancy-based merit lists, which NMIMS releases if seats remain unfilled after the initial round. Outside the NMIMS system, NPAT scores are not accepted at other institutions, so candidates should simultaneously explore other undergraduate management entrance examinations.
NPAT Results 2026: Conclusion
The NPAT 2026 final course-wise merit list was released on June 22, 2026, at npat.nmims.edu. Results are accessed exclusively through the candidate login dashboard; no individual score PDFs are always provided. NMIMS considers the best score out of a maximum of three NPAT attempts for merit list preparation, with no GD or PI round. Admission is purely score-based. A normalised score of 68 to 71 or above is the historical benchmark for NMIMS Mumbai BBA shortlisting; 60 to 67 is generally sufficient for Bengaluru, Navi Mumbai, and Hyderabad campuses. After the merit list is declared, candidates must register for counselling, upload documents, and pay the admission fee within tight deadlines to secure their seat. No further NPAT retakes are held after the exam window closed on May 31; candidates not on the first merit list should monitor the dashboard for second or third vacancy-based merit lists if seats remain unfilled.
