Cut-Offs: CMAT 2023
For admission to the next MBA class, the CMAT cutoffs for 2023 will be set by the colleges that are taking the test. Even though the NTA runs the test, it has no say in how the CMAT cut-off is set. The CMAT 2023 test will be given at the end of March or the beginning of April. In the last week of April, CMAT 2023 results will be made public. After the results are announced, admission to MBA programs based on CMAT 2023 cutoffs will begin.
The minimum score or percentile needed to get into an MBA program at a college that accepts CMAT scores is called the “CMAT cut-off.” For admission, candidates must meet the minimum CMAT cut-off percentile and pass the selection round at the school they want to go to. Every year, the top MBA schools that accept CMAT scores set their cutoffs between the 95 and 99 percentile.
Things that affect CMAT cut-offs
The cut-off percentiles for the CMAT are based on a number of things, such as how hard the questions were that year, how many students on average passed, etc. For admission to the MBA class of 2023, each participating school will set its own minimum CMAT 2023 cut-off score, taking into account the following:
- Total number of people who will take the CMAT in 2023
- Total number of available seats at the school
- Total number of people who passed the CMAT in 2023
- How hard was the CMAT question paper?
For MBA/MMS admission, all colleges and universities in Maharashtra that are part of MAH CET CAP accept CMAT scores. Students in the All India Category who want to join MAH CET CAP can apply with their CMAT score.
