What is the CMAT?
The full acronym for the CMAT is the "Common Management Admission Test." It is a computer-based national-level MBA entrance exam administered by the government for admission to 1,000 AICTE-approved management programs (MBA/PGDM) across India. Previously administered by AICTE, the CMAT is now administered by the Government of India-established National Testing Authority (NTA). Every year, more than 70,000 people apply for the CMAT. Since no one is disqualified based on their score, the CMAT provides each test taker with a unique opportunity.
