Confirm the Bengaluru course and current intake first
NMIMS Bengaluru is one campus of SVKM’s NMIMS Deemed-to-be University. The university’s Bengaluru site lists undergraduate programmes in Business Administration, Commerce, Finance, Economics and Law, alongside its MBA. This page is limited to the Bengaluru campus; Mumbai, Indore and Hyderabad have separate admissions information. The Bengaluru campus website says its operations began in Koramangala in 2008 and that its present full-fledged campus is on Bannerghatta Road. Use the current campus and programme page when checking documents or visiting, since older directory entries can still show the former Koramangala address.
Admission details are course-specific. For the management programmes, the Bengaluru postgraduate page and MBA page identify NMAT as the required test. For undergraduate Commerce and Economics programmes, the university’s 2026 handout groups the listed programmes under NPAT. Law needs extra care: the Bengaluru BA LLB page links applicants to the NLAT portal, while a general line on the Bengaluru site says undergraduate admissions happen through NPAT. The central 2026 handout places BA LLB and BBA LLB under the NMIMS-LAT/NLAT category. These statements do not support treating NPAT as the law route. Follow the current programme-specific law handout and portal, and contact the Bengaluru admissions team if its page and the central notice disagree.
MBA: NMAT and a separate university application
For the Bengaluru MBA, the university’s 2026 handout describes a two-step process: take NMAT and register separately on the NMIMS application portal. It says only the first NMAT attempt is considered for admission. The handout’s 2026 cycle required a bachelor’s degree with at least 50% aggregate marks. Applicants shortlisted for the next stage could be asked to complete a competency assessment and/or personal interview. The stated merit factors include NMAT, interview, competency assessment, work experience and academic performance; this is a composite process, not a guarantee that a test score alone secures a seat.
The document is specifically for the 2026 MBA intake and its dates should not be reused as a 2027-28 schedule. It listed NMAT registration from 20 August to 10 October 2026. Those dates have passed as of 7 November 2026. The Bengaluru page also labels MBA applications as open, so the web page and dated handout are out of step. Check the live NMAT and NMIMS portals for any extension or next-cycle notice before paying or scheduling an exam. No 2027-28 deadline is confirmed by the reviewed material.
Undergraduate routes and eligibility
NMIMS’s 2026 undergraduate handout lists BBA, B.Com, BSc Finance and BSc Economics under NPAT, and states programme-specific subject requirements. Its general thresholds include 50% in Class 12 for BBA and B.Com. The handout requires Mathematics or Statistics for BSc Finance and BSc Economics, also with the stated 50% threshold. Check the programme row and full handout for qualifying-board, subject, age and document conditions before applying; a general course-page summary may not include every rule. These are requirements published for 2026 and should not be assumed to carry forward unchanged.
For BA LLB and BBA LLB, the 2026 handout places the programmes in the law entrance category and gives a 50% Class 12 threshold. The dedicated BA LLB page points to the NLAT application portal. Because the same Bengaluru site also contains a broad NPAT statement, applicants should use the law-specific application instructions instead of selecting a test based on the generic line. Applicants older than 25 are directed by the 2026 handout to apply under the NLAT category; verify the applicable age rule and its current interpretation in the next handout.
What is known about 2027-28
The reviewed official material does not establish a complete 2027-28 application calendar, fee schedule or confirmed open status for every Bengaluru programme. At the 7 November 2026 page check, the Bengaluru BBA page displayed “Application Closed,” a general admissions page displayed “Admission Open” for 2026 programmes, and the MBA page carried an open-status label despite the dated 2026 handout’s past deadline. These are conflicting page signals, not evidence that a particular applicant can still submit a valid form. Confirm status inside the course-specific application portal and save the current handout before making payment.
The 2026 MBA handout gives ₹11,00,000 per annum for the Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Navi Mumbai MBA under an academic-year heading for 2026-2028, and explicitly says 2027-2028 fees will be communicated with the admission offer. That amount is a historical reference for the named programme and period, not a current quote for 2027-28. The undergraduate handout likewise says 2026 fees will be intimated at admission; the linked Commerce page gives prior-year figures. Do not use those older figures as a current fee offer.
Application checklist
- Select the exact Bengaluru programme and read its current handout, including eligibility, accepted test, application steps and required documents.
- Register for the relevant entrance examination and complete the separate NMIMS application where the programme requires both. For MBA, the 2026 instructions specifically require NMAT plus NMIMS registration.
- Keep the application confirmation, score report, academic records and any category or identity documents required by the current notice.
- Check the Bengaluru page and linked portal again before acting on a deadline. Where a general page conflicts with a programme-specific handout, ask the admissions office to confirm the applicable route in writing.
This summary separates dated 2026 rules from the unconfirmed 2027-28 cycle. Use the next official programme handout as the controlling source when it is issued.
