Two Manav Rachna universities—The Manav Rachna International Institute of Research & Studies (MRIIRS – A deemed to be university) and Manav Rachna University (MRU – A state private university)—are accepting applications for Phase 2 of the Manav Rachna National Aptitude Test (MRNAT) 2026, their national entrance test for admission to over 100 undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across emerging and core disciplines.
The application window for MRNAT 2026 Phase 2 will remain open till April 21, 2026 (11:55 PM). The examination process will be conducted between April 25 and April 27, 2026, and admit cards will be available for download from April 23, 2026. Students are encouraged to complete their applications within the timeline to ensure eligibility for both admission and scholarship consideration.
The examination will be conducted across 30+ test centres in 19 states, ensuring accessibility for students nationwide. While the Computer-Based Test will be held at designated centres, the Value & Vision Round will be conducted in both online and on-campus modes.
This year, MRNAT provides access to a range of new-age programmes aligned with evolving industry demands, including B.Tech in Cyber Physical Systems, BBA in Artificial Intelligence, M.Sc. Physics (Quantum Computing), B.Sc. Forensic Science, BCA Global Dual Degree, and B. Design Global Dual Degree with NABA, Italy among others.
MRNAT follows a two-stage admission process comprising a Computer-Based Test (CBT) and a Value & Vision Round (VVR). While the CBT ensures standardised assessment, the VVR evaluates candidates on motivation, awareness, and alignment with career goals, ensuring a more holistic selection process. Designed with a student-centric approach, MRNAT combines standardised testing with a qualitative evaluation of student intent and potential.
MRNAT also serves as a key route for merit-based scholarships. In previous admission cycles, approximately 25–30% of registered candidates secured scholarships through the test. Under structured schemes such as Utkarsh and Uttam, students are eligible for up to 100% tuition fee waiver, subject to academic continuity.
