The CMAT 2026 will be conducted in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode, and the exam date is expected to be announced soon. The eligibility criteria require a Bachelor’s degree in any discipline, and final-year students awaiting results are also eligible to apply. There is no upper age limit for appearing in CMAT.
