Eligibility Criteria	Details
Age	There is no maximum age limit for appearing for the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) NMAT exam.
Educational Qualifications	Candidates must hold a bachelor's degree (10+2+3/4) and have a graduation score of at least 50%. Candidates in their final year of graduation can also apply. However, their admission will be provisional until they submit their graduation mark sheet.
Work Experience	No minimum work experience is required to apply for the NMAT Exam by GMAC. Thus, freshers can also apply for the NMAT Exam date 2024. However, work experience of 2-3 years gives a candidate an edge during the selection process.

Candidates must note that the NMAT exam registration and the NMAT score-accepting colleges application process are two separate steps. Hence, the eligibility requirements for every college are different, and candidates must check the eligibility requirements of colleges and programs they wish to be admitted into along with the NMAT exam date, on their official website.
