National Testing Agency (NTA), the CMAT exam conducting body, had extended the last date of CMAT Registration 2024 by five days from April 18 to April 23, 2024. Hence, last date to register for CMAT Exam is today till 9.50 PM. However, CMAT aspirants are asking the question - will CMAT registration get extended again? Looking at past trends, the possibility cannot be ruled out. NTA had extended the registration for CMAT 2021 exam twice. There are other reasons as well which may lead to extension of last date of CMAT exam registration.

Last week, National Testing Agency (NTA), the CMAT exam conducting body, had extended CMAT Registration last date from April 18 to April 23, 2024. Hence, CMAT 2024 registration last date is April 23. NTA is yet to announce CMAT exam date, even though it had earlier said that CMAT 2024 will be held in May 2024.This delay in announcement of exam is expected to have a negative impact on CMAT registration numbers.

CMAT 2024 Registration Last Date Extended

Focus on Flexibility, Learnability and Constant Renewal
ISB curriculum review has a three-pronged focus:

Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) Maharashtra which had the reputation of releasing the MAH MBA CET result in March a few years back, has now made MBA CET result declaration an unpredictable event due to one or other reasons during past 3-4 years.

CMAT registration numbers have fallen significantly in the last decade. In contrast, other exams like CAT and XAT have grown their registrations. This constant drop in number of candidates taking CMAT exam has had a negative impact on most Business Schools in India. This MBAUniverse.com analysis brings forth key facts, and key reasons for CMAT losing its credibility, resulting into drop in CMAT Registrations.

The history of rise and fall of Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) which is now conducted by National Testing Agency (NTA) can be very well understood by the fact that many top B-schools have announced not to accept the CMAT 2024 exam score for admission to their AICTE approved MBA/PGDM programmes.

After conducting the Phase-1 of its MBA Entrance exam ACAT on March 1, 2 and 3, 2024, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham (Amrita University), will conduct Amrita Common Aptitude Test (ACAT) 2024 (Phase-2) at the national level for MBA admission 2024 on April 28 and May 5, 2024. The ACAT phase-2 will be conducted as online, proctored test. Last date to apply to participate in ACAT 2024 is April 25 and May 2, 2024 respectively. ACAT will offer MBA admission opportunity in Amrita School of Business at Amravati and Nagercoil.  

NTA has delayed CMAT 2024 Exam Date announcement creating anxiety among the test takers. While the CMAT 2024 registration process is open till April 18, the candidates are clueless about the exam date. On its website NTA has merely mentioned that CMAT exam will be held in May. No specific dates have been announced. Reputed national entrance exams like CAT and XAT announce the exam date along with release of notification.
