Hello,

Here is the basic eligibility for CMAT admission process:

  1. Qualification : You must have a Bachelor’s degree in any stream from a recognised university.

  2. Final Year Students : If you are in the final year of your graduation, you can also apply, but you must complete your degree before the admission process ends.

  3. Nationality : You must be an Indian citizen .

  4. Age Limit : There is no age limit to apply for CMAT.

These rules are the same for all categories, but some colleges may have extra conditions, so you may need to check college-wise eligibility too.

Hope it helps !

hi,

If you want to join the MCA program at LD College of Engineering (LDCE) in Ahmedabad and have given the CMAT 2025 exam, here’s what you should know. The admission mainly depends on your CMAT score and the rank you get after the score is converted for Gujarat’s ACPC counseling.

Last year, the closing rank for general category students at LDCE for MCA was around 20,000 in the counseling rounds. So, if your CMAT score gives you a rank close to or better than that, you have a good chance of getting in.

Keep in mind that the exact cutoff changes every year depending on how many students apply and how they perform. Also, if you belong to any reserved category, the cutoff might be a bit lower.

Hii,

No, not all MBA programs require these tests. These are merely entrance exams that are accepted by a lot of universities. Depending on the college you wish to attend, you can take any of them (such as MAH CET, MAT, XAT, GMAT, CMAT, or ATMA).

Additionally, some universities have entrance exams of their own. Therefore, for the majority of MBA admissions, you only need to take one appropriate exam. To find out which tests the college accepts, always visit their website.

you can get admission in MBA without giving CMAT . Many colleges offer direct admission based on your marks in graduation or state level exams like MAT, XAT. Apart from this, some private universities also offer admission through management quota or their own entrance exams.

So, if you have not taken CMAT, you still have many options to get admission into MBA.

Hii,

It may be challenging to gain admission to an MBA program through common entrance based on rank if you have not taken the CMAT. Don't worry, though! Additionally, a lot of colleges offer direct admission based on your graduation grades or through state-level exams, MAT, or XAT.

For information on each college's admissions procedure, visit their websites. Certain private universities also allow management quota admissions or have their own exams. You can still enroll in an MBA program even if you don't have a CMAT. Continue your exploration!

Hello aspirant,

MBA candidates are not required to take entrance examinations like the CMAT in order to get admitted.  While CAT is a requirement for admission to IIM MBA programs, several Tier-2 and Tier-3 MBA colleges have adopted alternative admissions methods.  A lot of MBA schools use entrance tests to choose their students.  Colleges administer the XAT and NMAT as MBA entry exams.

Thank you

Hope it helps you

Hii,

It is possible to gain admission to certain MBA programs without taking the CMAT exam. Based on your prior grades or interviews, a lot of private colleges grant direct admission. Other tests, such as the CAT, MAT, or GMAT, are accepted by some universities.

However, CMAT or other tests are typically required for government or elite colleges. It is best to inquire about the rules of the college you wish to attend. Therefore, you still have some options even if you don't have CMAT!

if you belong to general category, the requisite is to get 85 percentiles. it would be quite difficult to get your desirable college. but if that's not the case then, you have chances as the cut offs drops to lower. the admission criteria vary annually based on factors like the number of applicants, seat availability, and category-specific reservations. so, keep checking the official ACPC Gujarat (https://acpc.gujarat.gov.in/) website or contact BKSBM directly for the most accurate and updated information regarding admission eligibility and cutoff
