CMAT exam@ CMAT starts in hours, how it brightens chance of 1.5 lakh candidates
This article tells you how good score in CMAT brightens chance of 1.5 lakh candidates. Good scores in the exam will offer participants scopes to get admitted to some of the top university and private B schools in the country.

Let us see what benefits CMAT will offer:
State MBA: More and more states are coming into the CMAT fold as AICTE has made CMAT the only gateway to MBA admissions under the government quota from the coming academic year, instead of the State-administered Post graduate Common Entrance Test (PGCET). Students of various states who were preparing for PGCET will now have to appear for CMAT. As AICTE chairman Dr S S Mantha puts it: "Holding CMAT twice in year is a step in the right direction as it gives more opportunities to students. I would like every student who wants to gain MBA degree to take the test. The step has been taken keeping in mind that students are not put to difficulty."
