CMAT Over. MBA Colleges to Apply
October 15 2023
CMAT is considered to be the last National level MBA entrance exam. After this, we are left with few smaller exams but in CMAT you get an opportunity to get into top business schools. Now let’s check out CMAT score vs Percentile (expected):
| SCORE |
PERCENTILE |
| 345- 359 |
100 |
| 296- 344 |
90-99 |
| 230- 295 |
80-89 |
| 181- 299 |
70-79 |
Thus, we recommend 10 marks maximum deviation in the above stated scores as these are predicted scores from previous year data.
Key Highlights about CMAT 2022:
- The paper was easier than last year. Level of difficulty was equivalent to SNAP exam.
- GK section was easy as static GK was asked more but less question of Current Affairs was there. So, GK rules the roost.
- Innovation & Entrepreneurship Section was doable and anyone who is well read, has knowledge of basic GK, start-up Culture or work-ex could easily sail through the questions.

CAT 2022:

Rahul Sir from CATKing recommends to first convert all the colleges that you have received calls from and then decide what to do next. Focus on converting your calls.
Next thing to ask yourself is evaluate yourself according to your potential and ask if you deserve/ belong to the particular college or not. After evaluating, check the Deana and Directors of the college and observe whether the alumni network have gotten transformed due to the college.
