When Will NMIMS NPAT Merit List 2026 Be Released?
This section explains the latest update on the NPAT 2026 Merit List timeline and why an exact time has not been confirmed.
NMIMS has indicated that the NPAT 2026 Merit List is likely to go live on 22 June 2026, based on updates shared by the university and reported across multiple education news platforms. However, no official circular has specified the exact hour of declaration, so the result link could become active at any point during the day. NMIMS had already begun releasing UG results for other entrance tests such as NLAT (Law) and CET (Engineering) earlier in June, which is being seen as a sign that NPAT results for BBA, B.Com, and BSc programmes would follow shortly after.
It's worth noting that NMIMS prepares separate merit lists for each course-campus combination, so candidates applying for different programmes (for example, BBA at Mumbai versus BSc Economics at Bengaluru) may not see their results on the exact same day or time.

What Details Are Shown in the NPAT 2026 Merit List?
This section explains what information appears once you successfully log in to view your result.

- Candidate's full name and application details
- Course applied for and preferred campus
- Sectional scores (where applicable)
- Total marks scored out of 120
- Final merit score (after normalisation, if appeared in multiple sessions)
- Qualifying/shortlisting status for the chosen course
- Option to accept or reject an admission offer, if shortlisted
If you notice any discrepancy in your personal or exam details, you should contact the NMIMS admission office immediately rather than proceeding with the next steps.
How Is the NPAT Score Calculated?
This section breaks down the marking scheme used to calculate your NPAT score.
NPAT follows a straightforward marking pattern with no negative marking:
| Criteria | Details |
|---|---|
| Total Questions | 120 |
| Total Marks | 120 |
| Marks for Correct Answer | +1 |
| Marks for Incorrect/Unattempted | 0 |
| Negative Marking | None |
| Multiple Attempts | Up to 3 (1 main + 2 retakes) |
| Final Score Considered | Best/highest score across all attempts, after normalisation |
Since NPAT is conducted across multiple sessions with different question sets, NMIMS applies a normalisation process to ensure fairness when comparing scores across different test dates.
NMIMS NPAT 2026 Expected Cutoff and Good Score
This section outlines the score ranges generally considered competitive for admission to top NMIMS campuses, based on previous years' trends.
NMIMS does not officially release cutoff marks. Admission is purely merit-list based the lowest rank that secures admission effectively becomes that year's unofficial cutoff. However, based on previous years' admission trends, here are the expected score ranges:
| Campus | Expected BBA Score Range (out of 120) |
|---|---|
| NMIMS Mumbai | 82-85 |
| NMIMS Bengaluru | 80-83 |
| NMIMS Hyderabad | 78-81 |
| Other Campuses | 75-80 |
A score between 69 and 85 marks is generally considered a good or safe score depending on the campus and course, with top campuses like Mumbai typically requiring 80+ marks. These figures are indicative estimates based on past trends and may vary for the 2026 admission cycle depending on the number of applicants and seat availability.
