The NMAT 2025‑26 cutoff for MBA differs by section and by the college you’re targeting, showing how competitive the exam is. While GMAC doesn’t publish official sectional cutoffs, experts advise aiming for a balanced score across Language, Quantitative, and Logical Reasoning. The Language Skills section should be targeted at 70‑75 marks to demonstrate solid comprehension and verbal reasoning. For Quantitative Skills, which is usually the toughest part, aim for 72‑78 marks to handle the heavy calculations. In Logical Reasoning, a score of 68‑75 marks is advisable to show strong analytical thinking and pattern‑recognition abilities.

The NMAT 2025‑26 cutoffs show what score you need for each college, based on the new exam pattern. NMIMS Mumbai, especially the Core + HR program, is one of the toughest, with an expected cutoff of about 210‑215 marks, and the same range applies to its Business Analytics and Digital Transformation streams because those courses are very popular and have few seats. All the other NMIMS campuses (Bangalore, Navi Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Indore) also expect scores in the 210‑215 range, so to be competitive for any top NMAT‑accepting B‑school, you should aim for a total above 210 and keep your marks steady in every section.
