How should you use the NMAT 2026 retake option?
Slots run first come, first served, so book early. Also, the retake costs the same Rs 3,000 plus taxes as the first attempt.
Therefore, retake only if you expect a clear score improvement. In addition, check the maximum attempts rule on the official GMAC site, because our source does not state it.
