What Each Application Status Label Means
The GMAC portal displays different status labels depending on where your registration stands. The table below explains each status and the action you need to take:
| Status Label | What It Means | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| Registration Complete | Form submitted and payment successfully processed | No action needed; proceed to schedule your exam slot |
| Submitted | Form received; payment may still be processing | Wait 24–48 hours and recheck; save your payment reference number |
| Payment Pending | Form filled but payment not completed or transaction failed | Log in and complete payment before the deadline |
| Incomplete | Registration form not fully filled or not submitted | Log in and complete all required sections |
| Processing | Payment is being verified by the payment gateway | Wait up to 72 hours; contact GMAC support if status does not update |
NMAT 2026 Confirmation Email: What to Expect
Once your NMAT 2026 registration is successfully completed, GMAC sends a confirmation email to your registered email address within a few hours. This email is your primary proof of successful submission and should be saved for future reference.
The confirmation email typically includes:
- Your NMAT 2026 Registration Number — keep this for all future correspondence with GMAC.
- Details of the payment transaction, including the amount paid and the transaction ID.
- Instructions on how to schedule your exam slot (slot booking opens as a separate step after registration).
- A reminder of your permitted number of attempts (up to 3 per testing cycle).
If you do not receive a confirmation email within 48 hours of submitting your form, log back into mba.com to check your application status. Also check your spam or promotions folder. If neither shows a confirmation and your portal status is not "Registration Complete", contact GMAC support immediately.
What to Do If Your Registration Was Not Successfully Submitted
If your application status shows Incomplete, Payment Pending, or no status at all, your NMAT 2026 registration is not yet complete. Follow these steps immediately:
- Log in without delay — go to mba.com/exams/nmat and sign in with your registered credentials.
- Review each section — the portal highlights incomplete sections; fill them in and save before proceeding to payment.
- Retry the payment — if your earlier payment failed, use a different card or a UPI or net banking option. Note down your new transaction ID.
- Wait and recheck — some bank transactions take up to 72 hours to reflect on the portal. Your status may update automatically.
- Contact GMAC support — if the issue persists beyond 72 hours, reach out to GMAC via the support link on mba.com, providing your registered email address and transaction ID.
Do not create a duplicate account. GMAC links your registration to your email ID, and multiple accounts can cause verification issues that delay your application.
