The wait for the CMAT 2024 registration process has become a source of anxiety for MBA aspirants in India. Traditionally, registration kicks off in the first week of February, allowing ample time for preparation. However, with March nearing its end, the National Testing Agency (NTA) remains tight-lipped. This unexpected delay has thrown a curveball at students’ plans, raising concerns about the exam schedule and preparation strategy.
While the official announcement is pending, experts believe the CMAT 2024 exam will still take place, most likely in April or May. This would necessitate a compressed registration window, possibly opening in the second week of March. This shortened timeline puts pressure on students who haven’t begun their preparation.
Here are Updates of CMAT 2024
- Expected Exam Dates: April or May 2024 (subject to official confirmation)
- Registration Delay: Reasons for the delay haven’t been officially communicated by the NTA.
- Expected Registration Window: Second week of March 2024 (tentative)
