DOMS NALSAR MBA : Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. CAT is not the only accepted exam. NALSAR accepts CAT, XAT, GMAT, and its own NMET (PG) for MBA admissions. However, if your CAT or XAT percentile is below 70, or your GMAT score is 600 or below, you will be required to additionally appear for NMET (PG). NMET (PG) is an online proctored test conducted by NALSAR itself, covering Language Ability and Logical Reasoning (30%), Data Interpretation and Quantitative Ability (40%), and Business Aptitude (30%). For 2026, NMET (PG) is scheduled for 24th May 2026.

Ans. The selection process at NALSAR MBA involves four components: Entrance Exam (CAT/XAT/GMAT/NMET-PG) with 50% weightage, Group Discussion (GD) with 20% weightage, Personal Interview (PI) with 20% weightage, and Statement of Purpose (SOP) with 10% weightage. Shortlisted candidates based on entrance exam scores are called for GD and PI. This means that even if your entrance exam score is moderate, a strong performance in GD, PI, and SOP can significantly improve your chances of selection.

The campus is located within the NALSAR University of Law ecosystem, giving MBA students access to a rich legal and academic environment.

Ans. The 2025 MBA batch at DoMS NALSAR saw 27+ companies participate in placements, with an interim average CTC of Rs. 9.5 LPA and highest CTC of Rs. 16 LPA (as of January 2025). Students were placed in roles across Finance, Marketing, HR, Operations, and Strategy.
