The CMAT entrance exam is conducted by AICTE annually. The exam score is accepted by over 1000 B-schools which filter candidates on the basis of their performance in the test.  This year, the computer-based exam was held in two sessions on single day. The three-hour test comprised four sections - Logical Reasoning, Language Comprehension, General Awareness and Quantitative Techniques & Data Interpretation with each section carrying 25 questions. Each question carried 4 marks for correct answer and one negative mark for wrong answer.

The result announcement of this test is expected to be followed by the CMAT cutoff announcement by different B-schools for short-listing candidates for admission to their management programmes. The selection process at B-schools, however, varies with CMAT score remaining one of the many components at the final admission stage at majority of the management colleges. Apart from CMAT scores, the other components given weightage during final selection include Group Discussion (GD), Personal Interview (PI), Written Ability Test (WAT), work experience, academic records etc.
