Indore : All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), which opens registration window in the first week of July every year for Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) held in September, is likely to start the process this week.

The AICTE signaled at issuing notification for CMAT of this season in the first week of August.

“In a week’s time complete information about next CMAT and GPAT examination will be made public,” Dr NH Siddalinga Swamy, director e-governance AICTE, was quoted as saying to MBAunivrese, a management portal.

With this, the air has cleared on CMAT, which is held twice in one academic year – first in September and second in February — for admission to MBA/PGDM courses at the AICTE approved B-schools and Universities.

Since the notification for CMAT 2016 first test supposed to be held in September 2015 has already been delayed by a month, there is a strong possibility of delay in holding the test this year. The test date is likely to be stretched to October.

Before CAT, a gateway to IIMs, notification was released a week ago. Aspirants feared that the delay in CMAT notification may lead to clash of CAT and CMAT dates.

But since the IIM Ahmedabad announced its notification stating that the CAT would be conducted on November 29, the candidates have heaved a sigh of relief.

Responding to a query whether CMAT Sept 2015 will be delayed, Dr Siddalinga Swamy said “Regarding that issue also information will be given in a week’s time.”

Though the AICTE announced that the CMAT notification will be announced in a week, sources in the Council said that the notification would become before Wednesday.

It is understood that the delay in opening of registration window is caused due to change in guard at chairman office of AICTE. New Chairman of AICTE Dr Anil D Sahasrabudhe took the charge of the Council on July 17. Therefore, the process to start registration got delayed.

AICTE will provide two opportunities to appear in CMAT for admission session commencing in 2016; first in September 2015 and Second in February 2016. The better of two scores will be used for admission for PGDM/MBA batch 2016-18.

AICTE also proposes to provide flexibility to choose the test dates for CMAT exam. A candidate can choose three dates and three cities in the country for online CMAT examination in the order of preference while registering for CMAT.
