Let's begin this with a short introduction on CMAT.
What is CMAT?
Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) is the entrance exam being introduced by AICTE for admissions to all AICTE approved institutes offering PGDM (PG Diploma in Management) courses. These institutes (which now numbers 391) so long has been using many different type of entrance exams such as XAT, ATMA, CAT, MAT etc. for their admissions. AICTE is taking this initiative to help students reduce their time, effort & money in seeking admission in management colleges by reducing the number of management entrance exams that the student at present has to appear.
Beginning this year, AICTE is going to conduct CMAT twice a year and you can appear in both the exam. Best of the two scores will be used for admission for 2013-14. This is the second time CMAT is being conducted in 2012, the first ever CMAT was held from 20th to 28th February, 2012.
CMAT 2013 Test pattern/format:
CMAT is going to be a CBT (Computer Based Test), just like CAT these days. You will have to appear in this exam in a pre-assigned computer in the test venue. There are four test sections - Logical Reasoning, Verbal Ability / Language Comprehension, Numerical Ability + Data Interpretation & General Awareness. Each section has 25 questions thus totaling 100, which has to be answered in 3 hours.
