NTA has announced the CMAT 2024 Exam Date, which is scheduled for May 15. The CMAT is a bit challenging, and many Private and Government colleges accept its scores. Usually, the scores needed to get into colleges through CMAT are not as high as those for CAT and XAT, so many students prefer CMAT for their management studies.
The NTA website will show where the exam centers are at least ten days before the CMAT 2024 exam. For the CMAT 2024 exam, students need to have completed a bachelor's degree in any subject. Even students who are in their final year and waiting for results can apply for CMAT 2024. There's no age limit for students who want to take the CMAT 2024 exam.
NTA changed the CMAT Exam Pattern in 2022, and there won't be any new changes for CMAT 2024. CMAT 2024 will be an online exam called Computer-Based Test (CBT). The CMAT exam will last for 3 hours and will have 100 mandatory questions. The exam has a total of 400 marks. Each right answer gets 4 marks, but you lose 1 mark for each wrong answer. Students getting ready for CMAT 2024 should study based on the latest CMAT Exam Pattern and the CMAT Syllabus 2024.
