What After CMAT 2026 Result?
Following the declaration of the CMAT 2026 result, candidates can begin applying to MBA colleges as per their preference. There is no centralized counselling process for CMAT-qualified candidates. Therefore, applicants must individually apply to the colleges they wish to seek admission in.
Candidates should apply only to those institutes where the CMAT cut-off is equal to or lower than their obtained score. Admission to MBA programs through CMAT is generally based on Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds, so candidates must prepare accordingly.
Keep the following important points in mind while seeking admission through CMAT:
- Submit applications before the respective college registration deadlines
- Review CMAT cut-offs and course fees prior to applying
- Verify UGC recognition, accreditation status, teaching methodology, course curriculum, and campus infrastructure
- Analyze MBA placement records of the past few years to evaluate return on investment (ROI)
