CMAT Counselling

If I were in your position, I wouldn't wait too much or get stressed about the scores. You already have 2 years of work experience, which is a good advantage and adds value to your profile.

My suggestion would be to apply to colleges that accept MAT scores while also waiting for your CMAT result. That way, you keep your options open and don't lose time.

Personally, I would suggest GIBS Bangalore. What I liked about GIBS is that the college looks at the overall profile of a student and not just one exam score. Along with academics, there is a strong focus on internships, industry exposure, live projects, placement training, and skill development.

Why I would consider GIBS:

• Accepts MAT, CMAT, CAT, XAT and other scores
• Work experience is valued during admissions
• Good industry exposure
• Internship opportunities
• Placement support and training
• Active campus life and learning environment

My simple advice: Apply with your MAT score if you're eligible and also keep your CMAT option open. Don't let one exam score decide your future. A good college and the effort you put in during the course matter much more in the long run.

Yes, the National Testing Agency (NTA) uses the Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) to handle MBA admissions. For admission to a variety of management programmes offered by AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) recognised universities across India, candidates must pass the CMAT, a national entrance exam conducted by NTA. MBA, PGDM, and similar degrees are among these programmes. CMAT scores are accepted by a large number of schools and institutions that provide management degrees. The exam assesses the candidates' aptitude for maths, logical reasoning, language comprehension, and general awareness. Candidates who fulfil the CMAT standards can utilise their scores to apply to the MBA programmes offered by participating institutions.

There is no centralised process of counselling on national level for CMAT Entrance Examination.

CMAT is a national level entrance examination for students wanting to pursue Management Programs. The conducting body for the examination is National Testing Agency ( NTA).

After the examination, NTA no longer participates in the counselling process, counselling is in hands of the respective educational institutes who offer Masters programs to the students. 

To enroll for the counselling process, students are advised  to refer to the respective educational institutes that accepts CMAT Examination Score for Management programs in their institutes.
