The exam has remained a popular MBA entrance exam for students, and with the establishment of a dedicated testing organization – NTA – it is predicted that the exam will give admission opportunities in even more B-schools than previously. Here are five essential considerations that may help you decide whether or not to take the exam:
1. 500+ MBA COLLEGES THAT ACCEPT THE EXAM:
JBIMS, SIMSREE, PUMBA, K J Somaiya, GIM Goa, BIMTECH, Great Lakes, and IFMR are just a few of the 500 MBA schools that recognise exam results. These B-schools' cut-offs are also not particularly high.
2. EXAM OF MODERATE DIFFICULTY:
The exam will continue to be a moderately challenging exam with 100 basic questions separated into four sections: quantitative techniques and data interpretation (25 questions); language comprehension (25 questions); logical reasoning (25 questions); and general awareness (25 questions) (25 Qs). The MCQ-type questions in CMAT are of moderate difficulty and the answer options are directly related to the question. For example, in the exam, the questions after the RC passage are directly related to the text content and can be quickly answered, as opposed to the CAT and XAT, where the questions are indirectly related to the text and you must deduce the answer from the information in the passage.
3. CMAT ENSURES ADMISSION IN AICTE Recognized MBA/PGDM:
The list of score-accepting colleges includes all AICTE - Govt of India-approved management universities. The list of B-schools and Universities offering admission on the NTA/AICTE website only includes colleges that offer UGC/AICTE recognised MBA/PGDM programs. Students who pass the exam can be assured of admission to an institute that is recognized by the government and permitted to offer a management programs.
In thirteen states, accredited government and private universities and highly regarded business schools are likely to accept scores as the entrance to MBA admissions under the government quota, rather than the state-administered Postgraduate Common Entrance Test (PGCET). Uttar Pradesh, Kerala, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Nagaland, Goa, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Jharkhand, and Himachal Pradesh will recognise test scores. With the establishment of the National Testing Agency (NTA), it is predicted that a greater number of authorised B-schools will accept scores.
4. LOW Cost Universities:
Unlike the IIMs, which have a high fee structure ranging from Rs.16 lakhs to Rs.22 lakhs, the MBA/PGDM colleges accredited by CMAT offer comparable management programs for a reasonable fee ranging from Rs.5 lakhs to Rs.15 lakhs. All of these management institutes provide two-year full-time residential MBA/PGDM programs. The fee structure for some university-affiliated MBA colleges under CMAT, such as Mumbai University and others, is as low as Rs.2 to 3 lakhs.
5. NATIONAL MBA EXAM ACCEPTED BY TOP B-SCHOOLS:
It is a more advanced national MBA admission exam than MAT and ATMA. It provides admission to higher level MBA/PGDM colleges. Many MBA colleges in India do not accept MAT or ATMA exams, but do accept scores. For example, DTE-Maharashtra indicated that all 400 MBA colleges in Maharashtra affiliated with the Maharashtra government would accept marks for admission instead of previous MAT and other tests.
