The Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) is a national-level computer-based exam held annually in January across 62 cities in India. It serves as a gateway for admission to MBA and PGDM programs offered by over 1,000 management institutes nationwide. Until 2018, the exam was organized by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). However, since 2019, the responsibility has been taken over by the National Testing Agency (NTA), an organization established by the Government of India.
CMAT-2025 will be conducted by NTA as three hour entrance examination in Computer Based Test (CBT) mode to evaluate the candidates’ ability across various segments like Quantitative Technique, Logical Reasoning, Language Comprehension and General Awareness, for admission to the Management Courses in the Academic Session 2025-26. The participating Institutes of CMAT-2025 are the Institutions which will be accepting the CMAT Score.
Candidates must apply separately to the desired CMAT-2025 participating Institutions with the CMAT Score 2025. Thereafter, each participating Institution will release their respective cut off CMAT Scores which a candidate should meet to get qualified for admission to that particular Institution. Once qualified, the candidate will have to comply with the selection procedure of that particular Institution, which may comprise of Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI). The final selection of the candidate will be based on the candidate’s performance in GD & PI.
