Programme duration
Under NEP 2020, NMIMS has offered 4-year UG degrees with an Honours option from 2024-25 in its schools of Commerce, Economics, Liberal Arts, Mathematics and Statistics, Branding and Advertising, and Entrepreneurship and Family Business Management. Students can exit after 3 years with a 3-year degree, and those who want the 4-year Honours degree must say so at the end of the second year.
How scores are used
Each school builds its merit list from the highest score among a candidate's attempts (the main test plus up to two retakes). A candidate registers once per test category and chooses the schools and programmes, and the fee grows with the number of schools chosen. The NPAT site FAQ says students can also apply through SAT or ACT scores; the handout opened gives no cut-offs for them.
