CMAT

Madan Mohan Malviya University of Technology accepts various national-level entrance tests, including CMAT, for admission to its MBA course. Thus, candidates seeking admission to the MMMUT MBA can apply via a valid CMAT score. As per official sources, the 2025 session of the CMAT exam was held on Jan 25, 2025.

If you applied to BIMTECH through CMAT, you can expect a response between February and March. Shortlisted candidates are usually called for interviews during this time. Final selection results are shared by March or April, and the session starts around June or July. Keep checking your email and BIMTECH's portal for updates.

With 16 percentile in CMAT, you can expect very limited colleges for PGDM/MBA in Ahmedabad. However, there are few private colleges/universities where the criteria is either no/low CMAT score or direct admission or management quota. Some of them are SAL Institute of Management, Narayana Business School (NBS), Shri Chimanbhai Patel Institute of Management & Resesrch, LJ Institute of Management Studies and RB Institute of Management Studies. These colleges have either flexible CMAT cutoff criteria or 12th class' marks criteria.

No, CMAT scores are not compulsory to get admission into PGDM at Vidya Prasarak Mandal's Institute of Management Studies. The institute releases the merit list of shortlisted candidates according to their scores achieved in their bachelor's degree, followed by GD & PI. The acceptance of CMAT for admission to PGDM is not explicitly mentioned in the available sources. 

The recent year CMAT cutoff for PGDM at Welingkar, Mumbai has not been released yet. However, for the last three academic years, the college has pre-decided the cutoff scores of CMAT. Learn the exact cutoff scores required for admission to the PGDM course in the table below:

Yes, there are CMAT accepting colleges which do not conduct GD/PI. The seat allotment is based on counselling process based on CMAT cut off and candidate's choice of college. Most of the Maharashtra MBA colleges such as JBIMS, SIMSREE, PUMBA, Welingkar's, IMT, KJ Somaiya, etc. that participate in MAH CET CAP round, offer admission without GD/PI.

The academic score criteria of minimum 50% in graduation for General category candidates and minimum 45 % for SC/ST/PwD candidates is a mandatory criteria set by AICTE for all colleges offering technical education including MBA, so it is very unlikely that if you don't have the minimum academic score by meet CMAT cut off, you will still get admission.

CMAT cut offs are determined by the score accepting colleges individually. The colleges determine admission cut offs on the basis of certain parameters such as:

·       CMAT result trend and exam difficulty level

·       Previous years' CMAT cut offs for their college

·       Number of exam test takers

·       College ranking

·       Overall pass percentage and scoring trend in CMAT of that particular year

NTA has no role in CMAT counselling. NTA only conducts the CMAT exam on behalf of AICTE. Post result declaration, NTA is not involved in any activity related to CMAT. Since CMAT is an exam conducted by a government authority, any institution is free to use it as a parameter to select candidates for admission. Over 1300 government, government aided and private MBA colleges accept CMAT score for admission but they conduct admission process individually without NTA intervention.
