NMIMS NPAT 2026 waitlisted students after Phase 2 counselling may receive seat allotment in Round 3, expected around June 27, 2026, as vacancies freed by non-confirming students are redistributed strictly by merit rank.
After Phase 2 seat allotment for NMIMS NPAT 2026, many students find themselves on the waitlist. NMIMS conducts up to three counselling rounds — and additional rounds if seats remain — to fill all available seats across its campuses in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Indore, Navi Mumbai, Shirpur, and Dhule. Waitlisted students move up as confirmed students withdraw or miss the fee payment deadline.
- NMIMS NPAT 2026 counselling runs across three rounds; additional rounds are held if seats remain vacant after Round 3.
- Phase 2 Merit List was released in the first week of June 2026; Round 3 allotment is expected around June 27, 2026.
- Mumbai campus BBA has 720 total seats; Bengaluru BBA has 240 seats; Hyderabad BBA has 120 seats.
- Admission fee must be paid within 2–3 days of allotment notification — delays cause automatic seat cancellation.
- Vacated seats from Phase 2 non-confirmations are pooled and offered to the next ranked waitlisted students in Round 3.

How the NMIMS NPAT Waitlist Works After Phase 2
NMIMS seat allotment for NPAT 2026 runs across three counselling rounds. Each round offers seats based on your merit rank and program preferences filled in during registration. After Phase 2 allotment results are published, some seats return to the pool because:
- Students who received an allotment did not pay the admission fee within the 2–3 day window.
- Students who accepted a seat later withdrew to join another institution.
- Reserved-category seats remained partially unfilled after Phase 2 confirmations.
These vacated seats are pooled and offered in Round 3 to students on the waitlist, strictly in merit order. Your waitlist position is determined by your NPAT 2026 score and program preference order. A higher score means a stronger chance of receiving an allotment — or an upgraded allotment to a higher-preference campus — in Round 3.
Remaining Seat Vacancies by Campus and Program
Exact post-Phase 2 vacancy counts are published on the NMIMS official admissions portal after each round closes. The table below shows the total sanctioned intake per campus for key programs as per official 2026 admission data. Round 3 vacancies will be a subset of these numbers.

What Waitlisted Students Should Do Now
If you are on the NMIMS NPAT 2026 waitlist after Phase 2, follow these steps before Round 3 opens:
- Log in to the NMIMS admissions portal at nmims.edu and verify your current waitlist rank, program preferences, and personal details.
- Keep all documents ready (see the documents section below) so you can complete enrollment within 2–3 days of allotment.
- Arrange the admission fee in advance — you will not have time to arrange funds after the allotment is announced; delays lead to automatic seat cancellation.
- Do not withdraw from the waitlist unless you have a confirmed seat at another institution, as withdrawal forfeits your chance in Round 3 and any subsequent rounds.
- Check the portal daily from June 20, 2026 — NMIMS notifies students via email and the official portal simultaneously; response time is critical.
- Review your program preference order before the Round 3 choice-locking deadline if you want to adjust your campus or program priority.
