About CMAT (Common Management Admisison Test)

Last Updated On: 24 Apr 2013

The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has announced the exam dates for the national level Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) for admissions in all the programs approved by AICTE for the year 2013-2014.

The computer-based CMAT test will be conducted from Sunday, May 19, 2013 to Wednesday, May 22, 2013 in 62 cities. The students will have an option of selecting the date and city for writing the test. Last Date for online registration: Wednesday, April 10, 2013.

The exam scores will be valid for admission to 4,000 b-schools in India except the IIMs (Indian Institute of Management). The IIMs will continue to accept CAT scores as their admission criteria. Though, yet it has not been specified that whether the state Common Entrance Tests and other b-school tests will be scrapped off to accept CMAT  or will be conducted simultaneously. B-schools will have to mention the number of candidates that will take admission through CMAT 2013.

Objective of AICTE-CMAT

CMAT has been introduced by AICTE to reduce the burden of the students so that instead of giving multiple management entrance exams, they can give a single entrance exam CMAT and apply to 4000 b-schools with that score.

The initiative of AICTE to introduce CMAT is the result of disagreement between AICTE and B-schools consortiums such as EPSI, AIMS and other private institutes who have filed a petition in the high court against the notification of AICTE published on December 28, 2010.

The AICTE notice required the b-schools to make comprehensive changes in their admission process and education methods. Though, Supreme Court has defended the stand of private b-schools partially on July 26, 2011, it had permitted AICTE to conduct its own Common Management Admission Test (CMAT).

Eligibility Criteria for AICTE-CMAT 2013

Candidates who are graduates in any discipline or are in final year of their graduation can apply for online CMAT 2013.

Paper Pattern for AICTE-CMAT 2013

The CMAT will be a 3-hours online exam. The exam will consist of 4 sections - Quantitative Techniques, Logical Reasoning, Language Comprehension, Data Interpretation and General Awareness. Each section will contain 25 questions of total 100 marks. There will be a negative marking system where 1 mark will be deducted for each incorrect answer.
