NMIMS runs its online degrees through its Centre for Distance and Online Education (NMIMS CDOE). It publishes exact admission dates, which most online universities do not. It also runs two calendars, and applicants who mix them up miss the MBA (WX) deadline by two months.
Short answer: you register at online.nmims.edu, upload your documents, pay the fee, and wait for NMIMS to confirm your admission and issue a student number. For the BBA, B.Com and MBA (Online), the last date of admission is 16 March 2027, and the no-late-fee window closes on 14 February 2027.
The MBA (WX) closes applications on 31 December 2026 and includes an interview.

What are the steps in NMIMS online admission?
NMIMS CDOE sets out four steps on each programme page:
- Registration. Fill in the registration form at online.nmims.edu and pay the admission processing fee. NMIMS also collects an initial part of the programme fee at registration.
- Document submission. Upload gazette-attested copies of your academic documents, a photo ID and a passport-size photograph.
- Fee payment. Pay online, or by demand draft in favour of "SVKM's NMIMS" payable at Mumbai. Finance options are listed.
- Confirmation. After document approval, payment approval and student verification, NMIMS confirms your admission and issues a student number.
Your study kit, student portal and lectures start only after NMIMS confirms the admission. Payment alone does not make you a student.
You also need a DEB ID before enrolment. Our explainer on the UGC-DEB ID shows how to create one.

How do fees, refunds and exams work at NMIMS Online?
NMIMS CDOE lets you pay semester-wise, yearly or the whole programme at once, plus a one-time admission processing fee and an exam fee for each subject attempt. The amounts differ by programme, so read the current figures on the programme page.
NMIMS says it pays no referral fee or reward to anyone for referring students. Anyone who offers you a "referral discount" is not acting for the university.
Evaluation combines internal assessment with a term-end exam. For cancellations, NMIMS links its own terms and conditions from each fee section. Read them alongside our guide to the UGC fee refund policy before you pay a full-programme fee.
