CMAT Counselling Process 2025
The Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission into management programs across India. However, the NTA does not conduct any centralized counselling. Instead, candidates who qualify must individually apply to AICTE-approved institutes that accept CMAT scores. Over 1,000+ management colleges use CMAT scores for their MBA/PGDM admissions. Selection processes vary by college and often include Group Discussions (GD), Personal Interviews (PI), and Written Ability Tests (WAT).
