To check the CMAT exam result, follow the instructions below.

• Go to the official website, exams.nta.ac.in/CMAT.
• Click on the 'CMAT Result 2026' link.
• Enter the valid login credentials, application number and date of birth.
• Click on the 'Submit' button.
• View the CMAT result and download the scorecard.

The expected CMAT cutoff for the Institute of Management Technology (IMT Ghaziabad) is 90+ percentile for the 2026 admission cycle. IMT Ghaziabad mainly accepts CAT, XAT, and GMAT scores for its PGDM course, but if CMAT scores are used, candidates need a high percentile.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) is expected to announce the CMAT result 2026 today, February 14, on its official website, cmat.nta.nic.in.

Candidates should verify name, percentile, section-wise score and application details after downloading the CMAT result.

If two candidates have the same score, percentile ranking and sectional performance are used for merit order.

The CMAT score is valid for the current academic admission cycle only, so apply to colleges promptly.

Even with moderate percentile, several AICTE-approved colleges and state universities still accept CMAT scores.

Many B-schools will start shortlisting candidates for Writing Ability Test and Personal Interview rounds from early March.

Candidates must apply separately to participating institutes as there is no common counselling conducted by NTA.

The final answer key will be released along with the result. Scores will be calculated based on revised answers after objections.

90+ percentile is considered strong for top institutes, while many reputed colleges accept candidates in the 70–85 percentile range.

Most institutes use CMAT as a filtering tool to shortlist applicants for the next rounds like Writing Ability Test, Group Discussion and Personal Interview. After shortlisting, your academics, graduation marks, work experience and even diversity profile begin to matter as much as your percentile.

This means two students with the same CMAT percentile may still get different calls depending on profile strength. So once the result is out, the real focus should shift to SOP preparation, current affairs and communication skills rather than only worrying about marks.

CMAT qualifying status depends on whether you have met the minimum requirements (though final admission depends on individual college cutoffs).

Apart from personal details, the CMAT scorecard also highlights the candidate’s performance across all test sections such as;

• Quantitative Techniques & Data Interpretation: Raw marks out of 80

• Logical Reasoning: Raw marks out of 80

• Language Comprehension: Raw marks out of 80

• General Awareness: Raw marks out of 80

• Innovation & Entrepreneurship: Raw marks out of 80

• Shows strengths and weak areas across subjects

• Helps colleges evaluate sectional balance along with overall score

• Useful for preparation for GD, WAT and PI rounds

The CMAT scorecard carries important personal and examination-related information to verify the candidate’s identity and performance. It includes basic details such as the candidate’s full name, roll number, application number, and guardian’s name, along with the photograph and digital signature for authentication.

The document also mentions demographic information like date of birth, gender, category (General/OBC/SC/ST/PwD), and state of residence. In addition, candidates will find exam-specific details including the test year, exam date, and the particular slot or session in which they appeared. These details must be checked carefully to avoid issues during admission and counselling.

Individual institutes will publish their official cut-offs after the CMAT results are declared. However, based on past admission trends, the likely percentile range for prominent colleges is as follows:

• JBIMS, Mumbai: Around 99.9+ percentile

• SIMSREE, Mumbai: Approximately 99.7–99.9 percentile

• Goa Institute of Management (GIM): About 95–99 percentile

• K J Somaiya Institute of Management: About 95–99 percentile

• PUMBA, Pune: About 95–99 percentile

• Great Lakes Institute of Management: Around 90–95+ percentile

Candidates can access their CMAT 2026 results online through the official NTA website once the scorecard link is activated. After logging in with the required credentials, they should download and keep a copy of the scorecard for admission purposes.

The score is your raw marks out of 400. The percentile is your relative rank, indicating the percentage of candidates who scored less than or equal to you.

The NTA only releases the scores and does not organise a centralised counselling process. Candidates need to apply separately to participating institutes such as BIMTECH or GIM Goa. Most leading colleges will shortlist applicants based on CMAT percentile for Writing Ability Tests (WAT) and Personal Interviews (PI), usually beginning in early March.

If your CMAT result didn’t turn out as expected, don’t get discouraged. Several well-known private B-schools and state universities accept candidates in the 70–85 percentile range. This is a good opportunity to explore institutes such as IPE Hyderabad, XIME, and Jaipuria. Remember, an MBA is a long journey — your success depends more on your performance during the course than where you begin.

Expert opinions suggest that the exam was of moderate difficulty, so cut-offs for Tier-1 institutes are likely to stay similar to previous years. A percentile of 95 or above may be required for colleges like Great Lakes and Goa Institute of Management. Candidates should compare their scores with last year’s cut-offs for a clearer idea of their chances.

If you cannot access your result, confirm your date of birth format and security code. Clearing browser cache or contacting the NTA helpdesk may resolve the issue.

Candidates can check the CMAT expected score vs percentile for admission to management programmes. The CMAT cut-off may vary for different participating universities.

As per the CMAT marking scheme, each question carries four marks. 

• Candidates will be awarded four marks for each correct answer. 
• One mark will be deducted from the total score for each incorrect response. 
• No marks will be given for unanswered or unattempted questions.
