Two rows matter today. Both say October 25.
NMAT slot booking 2026 shuts on October 25. The form at mba.com shuts the same day. The test window then runs from November 2 to December 20, 2026. GMAC moved both dates from October 10.
The Graduate Management Admission Council owns the NMAT test. GMAC is a global body of business schools. The last date moved to October 25 from October 10.
Those 15 extra days do not move the test. The window still ends December 20, 2026. Late bookers get fewer centre choices and fewer study days.
One more catch sits in the dates. Shiksha, Collegedunia and KollegeApply list October 25 for slot booking. MBAUniverse and iQuanta still list October 22.
October 22 has already gone. CampusFeed could not open the mba.com deadline page on October 24. Check the date shown inside your own mba.com account.
What is NMAT slot booking 2026?
NMAT slot booking 2026 is the step where you pick the date, time and city. The form alone books no seat.
The test runs on a computer at Pearson VUE centres. Both steps close on October 25.
How do you book an NMAT 2026 slot at mba.com?
Five steps finish the job.
- Sign in to your account at mba.com.
- Pay Rs 3,000 plus 18% GST for the form.
- Open the booking page and pick a city.
- Pick a date between November 2 and December 20.
- Save the slip and check the date, time and centre.
GST is the Goods and Services Tax. On Rs 3,000 it adds about Rs 540.

What does NMAT 2026 cost?

| What you pay for | Fee |
|---|---|
| The form | Rs 3,000 plus taxes |
| One retake | Rs 3,000 plus taxes |

What is the NMAT 2026 test pattern?
The paper holds 108 questions and runs for 120 minutes. Three parts split it: Language Skills, Quantitative Skills and Logical Reasoning.
No answer loses marks. You also pick the part order before the clock starts.
How many NMAT 2026 attempts do you get?
You get three tries in one cycle. That means one booking and two retakes.
Each try needs a gap of 15 days. Retake forms open November 3 and shut December 17, 2026.
Paisa ek hi attempt ka hai, to kaun si date choose karein?
Book the first date you are ready for. A late slot kills the retake option.
A November 10 slot leaves 37 days before December 17. A December 15 slot leaves two, so no retake fits the 15-day gap.
Why the 15 extra days help less than they look
The new date adds booking time, not test time. December 20, 2026 is still the last test day.
A date change also shuts on December 17, 2026. That is three days before the window ends.
