The candidates can download the electronically generated score card from the official website between February 9 and March 8, 2017. Separate scorecards will not be sent by email or by post to the candidates.
CMAT, conducted by AICTE, is held at 62 exam centres across the country. Marks scored in CMAT are valid for admissions to various management courses in B-Schools across the country.
Till 2015, the online exam was held twice a year (February and September), but since then the practice has been abolished as AICTE decided to hold the exam once a year in January.
75555 candidates registered for CMAT 2016 with the exam registering 86% attendance. Ludhiana boy Jugad Singh Grewal topped the list with a perfect 100 percentile.

After the result is declared the candidates are invited for counselling by the institutes accepting CMAT scores, on the basis of marks obtained in the exam. In case there’s no counselling, the admissions are conducted on the basis of CMAT score only.
