For all MBA programs at NMIMS (Mumbai, Bengaluru, Jadcherla, Navi Mumbai, Indore, and Ahmedabad), only the score of the very first attempt of NMAT is considered for shortlisting. While GMAC allows up to three attempts (one main and two retakes) to help students improve their scores for other participating B-schools, NMIMS maintains a strict policy of accepting only the 'Main' (first) attempt. If a student appears for a retake, that score will not be used by NMIMS for the second stage of the selection process.
