CMAT Counselling Process 2026
There is no centralized NTA counselling for CMAT. NTA's role ends with releasing the result and scorecard.
Admissions are institute-driven:
-
Apply directly to colleges accepting CMAT scores.
-
Institutes screen based on percentile, then call shortlisted candidates for GD/PI/WAT.
-
Final merit lists consider composite scores (CMAT percentile + academics + work experience + interview performance, etc.).
