FAQ
Which colleges in Ahmedabad accept CMAT?
Every AICTE-approved MBA college accepts CMAT. Through ACPC Gujarat, Ahmedabad colleges such as B.K. School (Gujarat University), L.J. Institute, N.R. Institute (GLS University), Chimanbhai Patel Institute and Som-Lalit admit MBA students on the CMAT score.
Do IIMs accept CMAT scores?
No, not for their flagship MBA. IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Bangalore admit through CAT. Take CAT for IIMs and keep CMAT for Gujarat and other AICTE colleges.
When is CMAT 2027?
NTA’s exam calendar lists CMAT 2027 on 7 Feb 2027 (tentative). The information bulletin with registration dates is not out yet.
Is CMAT easier than CAT?
Usually, yes. CMAT has more straightforward Quant and reasoning questions and gives 180 minutes for 100 questions, but it adds General Awareness and Innovation & Entrepreneurship, which CAT does not test.
How long does it take to prepare for CMAT?
Three to four months of regular study is enough for most students. If you are also preparing for CAT, most of your Quant, reasoning and reading carries over; plan extra time for General Awareness.
Can I prepare for CMAT in two months?
Yes, if you study every day, take topic tests as you go and finish several full mocks. General Awareness needs daily reading from the start.
What is the fee for CMAT classes at Route99?
Is the CMAT course available online?
No. Route99’s CMAT course is classroom only, at the Navrangpura centre in Ahmedabad.
How long is a CMAT score valid?
For one admission year. ACPC Gujarat’s 2026-27 MBA admissions, for example, accepted only CMAT 2026 scores in the regular round (an earlier round for some Centre of Excellence colleges used CAT 2025 scores).
What is the Innovation & Entrepreneurship section?
The fifth CMAT section, with 20 questions on start-ups, innovation and business ideas. It carries 80 of the 400 marks.
