What is the Scaled Score & the Percentile Score?

Scaled Scores: The NMAT exam will ask questions based on the candidate's ability in previous sections.

If your performance is strong on the initial questions, you will receive more difficult questions than candidates who have not performed as well in these sections.

However, the NMAT exam carefully aggregates all participants' scores on a common scale to remove discrepancies arising from varying levels of difficulty.

In short, this means the NMAT targets each test taker's specific ability level, transforming final NMAT results into a common score range of 36-360.

Final Percentile Scores: The authorities calculate NMAT 2026 final percentile scores once all students have appeared for the exam. After the exam's conclusion, the students' NMAT results are sent to the B-Schools they selected, and the NMAT Results are revised to reflect the final percentile score.

What is the Selection Process for Different Colleges?

The Selection Process based on the NMAT Results starts after the results are announced.
